News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I actually read most of their stories and have not yet seen a story that has turned out to be false. Mean while almost every story / comment posted on Hacker News will receive up votes if it has a negative spin and down vote if it has a positive spin, no matter the content. Yes Elekrek is filled with Tesla fanboys but HN is also filled with Tesla haters. See my comment for example of down voted positive comments with no counter argument offered.

Just because something isn’t false doesn’t mean it’s not highly biased.

Biased and true is better than biased and false.

Unbiased doesn't exist so I'm ignoring it.

> Unbiased doesn't exist so I'm ignoring it.

and

> Perfect doesn't exist so I'm going to ignore better.

are not analogous. Now if the line were instead something like

> Unbiased doesn't exist so I'm ignoring less-biased (or efforts to reduce bias).

then you'd be onto something, but as it stands, what you've got there is a false equivalence.

You can do a search for "tesla" submissions ranked by popularity for all time: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=tesla&sort=byPopularity&prefix...

You'll see that Tesla's press events have gotten plenty of extremely positive discussion/upvotes on HN. "All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving Hardware" has 1,493 upvotes:

I should clarify that I meant the current state of HN. (I thought that was obvious)

No, it wasn't obvious.

But it is obvious you didn't do the search I recommended. Or else you would've seen how recent the most popular Tesla posts are. The second most popular Tesla story was posted just 2 months ago.

I'm willing bet many people (like me!) only downvoted you because you're complaining about downvotes, in violation of the HN community guidelines.

No I am explaining a phenomenon and that was the evidence I provided. Be my guest and downvote to your hearts content I could not care less.
