"Econ 101" people always seem to ignore that there are higher level economics courses that further expound upon the many complexities, nuances and vagaries of "supply and demand."

Is that really how people view HackerNews? I've always felt the connection to YCombinator to be largely superficial, with the site being mostly for people looking to get news on technology itself, rather than the business thereof.

Given some of the perspectives here, especially with tech fads, absolutely. They are definitely prolific users here who have that feeling that they support or defend certain ideas in tech as they work on their next project in that area.

As well as just some general sentiments you see from browsing here:

- Strongly anti-copyright and seem fine completely abolishing the idea. One that would remove regulations when it comes to selliing ideas.

- Often defends the idea of private marketplaces and their cuts on developers. Which seems odd on the surface. but it makes sense when you consider it is easier to minmax for one monoplistic storefront than develop endpoints to support multiple stores. Why disrupt something you make steady income from as is?

- There's definietly underlying sentiments towards in work-related topics that come from those leading/managing companies. a stronger skew towards employee productivity and a need to aggressively weed out "low performers". A slight skew supporting business decisions like mass layoffs, even suggesting those laid off were low performers or otherwise just freeloading.

little things you catch here and there as you browse a community for years.

Anyone who has been in a YC batch gets a special magic "Orange" name tag on HN that anyone else with an orange name tag can see, and we, the proles, cannot.

This site is an advertisement for YC, and was built primarily for mindshare. "Growth hacker" types that started YC and built HN and spun off Reddit don't build things "for fun" if there is profit to be made.

You'll leave a link to a blatantly disreputable tabloid news blog?

Similar accusations have been constant recurring themes since the emergence of the Dutroux case, and from other cases that have emerged since then.

That link was the first random link that popped up, that, from memory, was illustrating the theme at hand.

No, I wasn't willing to do a deep dive into the putrid sewer of child abuse to satisfy the need for a "better" link.

It's upsetting enough to know that these things exist, and I have absolutely no need to make it my area of expertise and focus, for my own well-being.

If you want to, knock yourself off.

So what? The source isn't nearly so relevant as the nature of the information presented. It's tedious to see sometimes useful tidbits for possible investigation get dismissed because they're "disreputable".

Can't you find a better source?

Is it not included as part of the general Adobe subscriptions?

It is. https://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver.html

All protests need good baklava.

You could show them pictures.

That's only really an issue for specific games.

But what problem is there with it? Most of the important questions have been answered already.

Is darksouls.wikidot.com not the initial Dark Souls wikidot page? Was there something else that was closed down?

The 60s-era designs don't look all that different from some of the fairly popular current Warby Parker designs.

I bought a pair of glasses last week that look exactly like the 60's photo, but with a brown frame. Wasn't familiar with GI Glasses before, I just think that design looks cool.
