Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

It's not a death threat, you're just unfamiliar with 90s hip-hop (news.ycombinator.com)

Possibly the worst defense yet of Garry Tan's tweeting of death threats towards San Francisco's elected legislature. In yet more evidence for my "HN is a Nazi bar" thesis, this take is from an otherwise-respected cryptographer and security researcher. Choice quote:

sorry, but 2Pac is now dad music, I don't make the rules

Best sneer so far is this comment, which links to this Key & Peele sketch about violent rap lyrics in the context of gang violence.

Look it is no problem the nazis are in this bar, every time they shout nazi shit we just turn up the music louder. Any posters they put up we put into places with bad lighting and a 'we disagree with this' sign. I don't get why you filthy techtake sneerclubbers who are to blame to for covid [this is not an insult it is a reference!] keep calling us a nazi bar.
