‘Tokenized’: Black Workers’ Struggles at Coinbase

The amount of speculation with regards to this topic among “engineers” and “innovators” is kind of amazing.

The HN community appears to be no more rational or evidence-based finders of fact than those found in the comments section of Fox News or the New York Times.

What hope do we have if the creators and maintainers are prone to the same proclivities as the users?

It’s always amusing to me that people are shocked HN isn’t actually that much smarter than any other internet community. The relative level of pretentiousness though is off the charts

Eh, I think it’s a bit hyperbolic to compare it to the commenters on the aforementioned sites, but yeah I mostly agree. Given the site’s founders and general audience it’s not really shocking though. I still prefer it over say Reddit, mostly because the more focused nature makes it easier to find the actual smart comments.

I agree there is some great content here, and there’s definitely a lot less nonsense compared to reddit. I do think some of the smaller subreddits are just as good as here though
