is this perhaps the same guy who says "I think you should lose the copyright for those books you wrote after 10 years, so if you don't make any money on them before that sucks to be you!"
on edit: of course not particularly relevant to most tech books but still it is sort of a bad look that nearly everybody on HN is wild about.

I'm sorry - you mean that you find it unlikely that people claim copyright should run out at 10 years on HN? I thought it was well-known enough that I didn't have to go through the hundreds of copyright threads to find examples.

HN, where everyone uses fallacy arguments to sound smart, prop up their delicate egos and feel like they contribute value
... without actually adding any!

okey-dokey, valued HN-member.
"so you've earned 50K for a year work on writing that book? dude that's like $x/hour, I earn a $300K wage + 1 million in stocks per year, and they have a private cook and gymnast at the FAANGplex for me and everything".
