Would you please stop posting flamebait to HN? Obviously this is the last thing we need here. We've warned you many times about breaking the site rules.
I appreciate the solid submissions you've posted but if you continue to wreck HN threads by trolling them, in effect if not intent, the negative outweighs the positive.
Look at this thread... the only thread on this entire submission, all stemming from the same post. I’m not the one posting flamebait, and I wasn’t the first to react with incredulous disgust.
If you want to improve this site, I’d start to crack down on non-technical submissions about cryptocurrency. They’re as bad as stories about Trump for predictable bullshit, and equally predictable squabbles along ideological or self-interested lines. It’s a cross between boring and grotesque that so much time is spent here saying essentially nothing about the latest ICO scams or currency forks. What part of this is intellectually satisfying or engaging?
Worse, the daily dozen+ front page stories about this crap displace genuinely interesting submissions and discussions.
Such objections and advice carry no weight when you bring them up just to evade your own breakage of the rules. If you want your ideas about HN to be taken seriously, first take basic responsibility and then show that you can use this site as intended, by actually doing so.
You answered a question that the user didn't ask. If you feel they won't be around, that's fine. But if the discussion is about how hard drive usage will scale over many years, injecting "it won't matter" is a pointless comment. It not only doesn't answer the question, but it provides basically no information other than your feelings on a subject.
I don't know what the world will look like 83 years from now, but I would bet money that the world is using crypto for currency. How about we make a bet on it? You know what, let's place our bet in a time locked smart contract and have the money automatically disperse to our descendents in the year 2100.
