Sadly not yet but blocking sites for hate speech cant come soon enough.

The fact that I keep reading posts on HN about how successful HN is makes me wonder how soon will this forum die off, infested by cultist "contrarians", wanna be philosophers and alt right fantasists, in favour of reddit - where most of the times I read either the exact same comments as here on identical posts, or better quality comments with far more evidence and without the usual non sense downvoting of dissent.

But to the point specifically, " It’s not surprising to find successful projects run with a simple stack." - you are spot on. The "successful" HN crowd appears to favour overengineering or obscure tools, point which shows 90% are armchair philosophers who daydream of running a business, building a 0 to 1 start-up, and other things office workers imagine when they think building a webapp using GO, or Haskell will result in anything else but a line on a CV for yet another slave away job (potentially an open source project that no one wants too).

Nuance is welcome - I for one am proud of paying the HMRC to help people pay for electricity, food and shelter. The situation is not great in the UK either, thanks to a government that ignored science, but its far better than in the US.

Do you not grasp that in most countries where lockdowns took place people had government support? Do you not fathom that most countries have publicly accessible healthcare? Do you not understand that not all countries ditch their vulnerable under the bus in such unprecedented times? Is it such an alien concept the fact that us, the high earning developers pay tax precisely to help those in need? What a strange view of the world some of you have in a country pretending to be rich, yet it collapses at first sign of real trouble.

I suppose they need to drive traffic on “scientific”american by either flouting aliens, mysteries, or objects the size of several thousands football fields or washing machines.

There is nothing alien about this space object other than its geological origin.
