News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

This is a thoughtful, well-written piece.

It would be helpful to see solid counter-arguments instead of flagging.

I personally don't agree with most of the things the article says and that's exactly why I shared it on Hacker News. I was hoping that some smart people with good insights on the topic could respond with rebuttals and I could learn from them. But I guess even on Hacker News people are intolerant towards ideas that they don't "like."

How can we stop all the flag killing on HN? It's 90% censorship.

Much of the time, the flagging filters obvious advertising and flamebait.

It's the tendency to flag ideas that challenge the orthodoxy that raises ire.
