  • wait whose a16z. Can you provide me more context about it?

    Also what was written in that comment if you can tell and why it died?

    Another quick question but is there no storage of flag/died posts on hackernews? Seems like its possible with things like https://hn.live/ or I saw some other website like this as well. Perhaps, something like this can store flag/dead posts but I am not really sure if it has any use case but I am just curious what was written in that post.

    • >is there no storage of flag/died posts on hackernews?

      they're not deleted, just hidden. you can toggle "showdead" in your profile settings.

  • I'm curious. Are you saying that tech bros on this site will just downvote/flag stuff like that's against their "heroes", that would be pretty standard I guess. Or are you implying a conspiracy where somehow they exert influence on the moderators to kill the posts/comments?
