Why did you let the article that was posted about a16z and Daniel Penny get flag killed so many times?

It’s so lame and tiresome —- powerful tech people look like idiots, it gets killed on here.

I haven't seen that one yet; I was mostly offline yesterday. This happens sometimes.

Btw, stories about "powerful tech people look like idiots" get discussed on HN all the time. The tenor of HN comments about that kind of thing leans strongly towards the cynical, enough that it's actually a problem for the long-term quality of the site. I may be misinterpreting you, but if you feel like HN needs more of that, I have to disagree.

Edit: $Firm hires $PolarizingPerson is probably not a good topic for HN but I'm happy to take a look at specific articles.
