The Holocaust absurdly outweighs the Autobahn, the Nazis were the worst people in history. The net result of big tech has been relatively good (for the average person’s material conditions, the jury’s still out on psychological effects but regardless of anything, it’s not even comparable to the Nazis).

No, just stop responding to or encouraging this kind of behavior. It probably seems funny to you in the context of a thread but it pollutes the discourse and gradually wears down the standards on this site.

The signal to noise ratio needs to be good, or there will be no point to reading the comments.

Wow, you just made me realize why HN is so much better than Reddit. There’s no useless comments full of in-jokes and sarcastic one liners; comments are actually thoughtful and generate discourse rather than being one-line low-wit witticisms.

the net result of big tech is literally depression, anxiety and the fall of democracy.

Interesting. Romans built roads, killed a whole bunch of people in the name of the empire and had no problem with slavery. And yet, sufficient amount of time have passed to allow for a detached look to what they did and how it was accomplished. Were Romans so much better than Nazis or just so far back in the past that their relative badness does not register?
