downvote_me

Reminded me of Daniel Blake http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5168192/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dispossessed one of her best as well.

How typical. Downvote anything it happens to challenge your beliefs or interests without providing _any_ proof of why they (your beliefs/interests) happen to fall into the right side of things.

One more time @HN admins: Please remove downvote capability. All it does is poisoning the conversations and putting HN community into a downward spiral of adolescent behaviors.

Now we get downvoted for stating the obvious in HN. I wonder how much more down the drain this site will go before you consider removing the downvote feature. It's down to vindictive teenager schoolyard now and its getting lower still. @admins

The commend says 'floating ice' the link you point at says 'ice on land'. The commender is 100% right but apparently the HN crowd has a lot of people that just love to downvote (which is why downvoting should be banned).

Exactly. Online casinos are just the tip of the iceberg here. Unbelievably large sums of money and grief are lost and created respectively in real world lotteries and casinos which nowadays are almost entirely computerized - thus made up by developers working in tech companies.

There is a huge amount of insight on this post and I could not upvote this story enough. It is exactly the onboarding process and all the BS/political powerplay and non-productive rhetorics that pass that exact message to a programmer. Multiply this by ten if you happen to be a non-native developer in a mostly ethnic company where your language skills are below native. So -even though it is never clearly said in the open- the message gets to be 'you are just a "foreign" code monkey'.

Because HN is dominated by 'free-trade' proponents to whom Paradise Papers seem like the natural way of doing business (i.e. taxation is akin to socialism).

Just watch how they treat this comment now.
