They are fighting to get it back:

Also the shareholders overrode Ben and Jerry against their objections to sell. They didn’t want to. Of course they probably shouldn’t have gone public in the first place but if they hadn’t you never would have heard of them. Unless you grew up in Vermont. Like me. It was kinda weird seeing a beloved business become huge. Like watching Phish go from a local band to something giant.

Rip White Russian. I loved that. Never understood how that nasty jimmy fallon flavor still exists.

There’s only one party fighting for things like this and they are in the minority. Funny how people that cry about politics on hacker news don’t understand how it directly affects them until their digital media is no longer their property. Sad that’s what it takes.

I can’t believe Nekhala managed to gross $6million on a bed scrunchy on Amazon without Chinese competitors pirating the design, even with a US patent. That in itself is a major accomplishment. At some point when progressives finally take the house perhaps we can get some real regulations in place so that someone banned from the system like this has recourse other than call tree AI.

I play on an 8 year old MacBook Pro and with 10k logistics bots it still has smooth graphics and zaro boogs. It reminds me of how good blizzard was in the 90s.

Yes. The downward spiral exploded into the pop scene in 94 from a goth niche to sorority girls going to nin concerts just to get drunk and scream “I want f you like an animal”. It was a weird time for us goths watching our secret club become pop. Nin rode the wave for years. The Music arc moved much more slowly then.

Problem with getting old is that you’ve seen it all. A bright eyed 25 year old blogging about this thing called a “Unix pipe operator” gets boring the 200th time it shows up on the front page of HN.

OP is way overblowing it. You could tell by their “no him/her”. Way to be obviously transparent about his political orientation. Makes me sick that he’s basically saying “get back in the closet”. Sorry I went through that I my youth: I’m out and I’m not going back. And fortunately the last three companies I’ve coded at in 15 years were aligned with my progressive politics.

I’m so done with technology’s “answer to a question nobody asked.” Like bluetooth derailleurs. Utter garbage. The only down side is that this wave of technocrap wipes out shelf space for analog cyclists. Hard enough to find a decent triple front derailleur, let alone 48-spoke hubs with a cartridge. Now this crap.
