I've improved the section on Doreen Michele beyond what I'd expected. I'll work on the others soon.

I don't mind hacker news. They usually have some interesting news stories and other things. I don't mind the comments on some articles. There's usually a few good comments buried in there on programming articles or old computer stuff. I've read some pretty cool stories on there from programmers from back in the old days. But on most articles the comments are trash. The intensely regimented community there is weird and dang's a faggot. The worship they have their for Paul Graham is almost cultlike. The comments on any of his essays biggest circle jerk of praise I've seen outside trannies affirming eachother.

HackerNews is better than reddit and twitter but still full of seething impotent troons and other unpleasant terminally online tech types. Good thread.
Oh hey it's one of the butt buddies of Hoaxin' Hector Martin. He's been talked about a few times here:

(basically moot (the creator of 4chan) hated a lot of the kind of forum lingo that was rampant on his site and screwed a bunch of it up with weird filters. the rest were just there because it was funny to make it hard to talk on /b/)

Yup. I had written an independent site that worked like /rs/, and moot paid me to make it into a 4chan-themed version. (I also wrote /r9k/)

And I used to work for 4chan. I know first hand it's a very bad idea to let racists feel like they're welcome in your communities, because they'll work to make those communities more racist by converting people and bringing in their racist friends

kinda. The original blog post about robot9000 joked about "what if this got put on 4chan's /b/?" and while I couldn't make that happen, I did convince moot to make a separate /r9k/ board which implemented the same algorithm

Felted.
I think the only reason he doesn't have a thread is because he's boring and mostly keeps to himself and his retro tech autism sperging.

Yeah, I wonder what taking "more than the average person takes" of this item in the list could have to do with the sudden onset of mental issues. Perhaps we will never know.

For all we know, mushrooms here could mean non-psychedlic nootropic varieties. Can't be sure without more context.

I've made a few more adjustments, and have started to spread out the screenshots a tad. I still need to build more evidence for dang's behaviour, but I'll probably leave Peter Roberts section as-is. Paul Graham's section is fine to me.
I'd like to mention the woes of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) now. It's so amusing to see the daring capitalists, who believe themselves to be above the law when it becomes inconvenient, begin to cry out for government assistance when a bank run happens. Silicon Valley is supposed to be all about disruption, but I suppose it hits differently when they're affected. For an example of what I mean, here's an article describing how Y Combinator darling DoorDash commits mass fraud while predating on small restaurants (archive). Oh, and it's important to note DoorDash and these similar businesses are still unprofitable.
The gist of this is DoorDash pretends to be a restaurant or to have a business relationship with a restaurant, and then siphons away people who would've called or visited directly. This, understandably, negatively impacts the business that now has dissatisfied customers who are accustomed to the artificially-low prices set by DoorDash. This restaurant in particular was owned by someone who knew someone who knew about this disgusting nonsense, however, and he established that the restaurant owner can get some of that venture capital used to attract customers and grow for himself:
They do this with impunity, because they know small business are either ignorant of their criminal trademark violations, or too small to be able to stop them. This is an example of how they want those nasty laws to get out of their way, for progress. Now according to Garry Tan (archive), Uncle Sam needs to bail out the bank or else innovations in law violation like DoorDash will be set back, and we can't have that:
Here are two Hacker News discussions on this:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35100743 (archive)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35096877 (archive)
The first subject is written by Garry Tan, president and CEO of Y Combinator, and so unimportant I only just now learned this. He's crying about this therein.
One actually has a nice joke inside, but it's a joke from someone on Twitter:
Still, this has the potential to knock over quite a lot of dominoes. A lot of startups sell to other startups which sell to other startups. One example is Stripe, which does nothing besides help other startups collect payment. How Stripe could fail here is obvious, and they've been compared to a seller of shovels to prospective gold miners; well, that can't happen if people stop mining for gold.
The fall can't come hard enough, if it comes.

To be fair being better than reddit is a very low bar. Which makes it all the more hilarious when HNers act sometimes exactly like redditors.

One strange observation is that HN is simultaneously hated by trannies for being "transphobic" but is filled to the brim with corporate bootlickers, I don't know why though. Also they seem to randomly block tor nodes so I get a blank page when I'm trying to view something.

That’s your standard fare for the Austinite Twitterati new right lorded over by people like Theel, Elong and Marcass. Everything of note in that subculture is a function of glass egoes plus a touch-and-go contact with reality. It’s why you’ll see people ostensibly coming down to “do research” and a year later they find themselves firmly up some rich guy’s ass because they think that’s how you earn your dues. And you know, maybe it is, hell. The whole scene is run like a fucking mafia.
For some reason can’t quote the OP @UERISIMILITUDO’s last reply, but on the dominoes, I will say this: AI is the last stop before the fall. I expect it to be an implosion and all the tech bros will have no fucking idea they stopped being relevant. Expect them all to get 10× hairier and more drug-addled and destitute in the next 5 years, the sick irony pissing on all their cash and affluence they have. Remember the old SF game of homeless or billionaire? Pretty soon it’s gonna be both!

Does the saga of Michael O Church deserve a mention in the OP? A lolcow in his own right[0] he was banned after calling Marissa Mayer a "queynte"[1].
Also a mention of the "hn footnotes" style that's been copied from Paul Graham's essays[2] but zero-indexed[3] because le Hacker.
