Sorry, you're right.

It's Daniel Gackle who is personally responsible for the toxic Hacker News culture.

You know what's really interesting?

The people who pay Dan don't participate on this site.

That's how awful the culture is here. That's how bad he is at setting the tone.

No, it sounds like real life.

Of course HN downvotes this.

Dan Grossman earns a paycheck moderating this site. This is a culture he's literally paid to promote.

I'm using DroidAnki on my phone as part of my efforts to learn Mandarin. It took a bit of time to figure out how best to configure it, but now that I have it tuned to my liking, it's a great tool. It's not the only tool I've been using, but it's one of the most helpful.

Sounds in the same ballpark as China's "social credit score."

Don't think this is satire that can't happen.

Yeah, he didn't burn Savannah, which was by far the oldest city on his route. Atlanta wasn't even 30 years old when he burned it.

What I'm noting in these articles is an absence of mentions of Google or newspapers.

My dad did these jobs his whole life. He's in still in better shape than I've ever been and has a union pension better than anything any company has ever offered me.

So.

I always assume there's a buyer lined up before these things ever happen.

But then, when they stole The Scream a while back they clearly had no exit strategy, so who knows?

As the article explains, they did make ads for the Da Vinci. Several, in fact. To make it "iconic", they built up the brand.

The ad that's just looking at people looking at it is brilliant, really a work of art on its own.

The effort that went into selling that painting is one of the more fascinating stories of the last year.

I have exactly the opposite experience, time after time after time.

The one area where Google search provides me with a notably better experience is in image search.

Yay! An official version. This site has been doing it "unofficially" for years, but I'm sure even they will be happy there's a real Amtak version now.

I'm living in a small town right this moment where is is all possible. Toss in a library, a bar, a couple barbers, and a fresh bakery too.

I couldn't care less about abortion on a personal level. It has zero impact on my life and never will.

But it's very clear to me that it's an artificially promoted issue that plays on people's emotions.

Divisive issues are not accidents. They're focusgrouped and marketed with extreme care.

It doesn't "simply come up"

Tens of millions of dollars keep it in the forefront of your brain. There is no accident here. There is no "simply comes up"

I have no idea what this headline is supposed to mean.

"Vows to resist"

Resist what, exactly?
