tech/science swag.
Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

ok so here's how it went down:
some of the people in the original 2000s dot com bubble became nouveau riche. now new rich, historically, have a struggle to learn their class, because they're wealthy but they don't really understand what that means yet, and they're entering a new, broader game with a lot more subtle violence and epic deceit. it's a vicious scene and those new to the Bigger Casino often lose and are demoted to Poors again.
of these people, the SFO based tech Rich formed YCombinator, whose online extrusion is known as Orange Site. Paul Graham is first and foremost among the people responsible for Orange Site and its Corruption, one of the engineers who fell to the corruption of his money.
This is the center of the narcissism of California. They brought all of the rich people thinking into the Silicon Valley which ended up stifling innovation. Almost all of the big name popular tech stocks, AirBNB, Uber, Lyft, got their start because their founders got slotted into the Rich People Mania generator of ycombinator.
You don't, for instance, have to make money as a business if you can hallucinate a storyline in which your company spends millions of rich people money to CONQUER THE MARKET and then, you know, crank the prices up because the RICH PEOPLE WANT MOAR MONEY and they don't really care if it's a good business or not. That's just how stupid rich people are, or at least, these nouveau riche.
This is why we're waiting for the true crash, the reality check, the "huh I guess A BUSINESS MUST MAKE MONEY."
Because all of these idiot rich people are going to suffer, and it's going to be funny.
Sam Altman was personally groomed by these nouveau riche into being the next generation of rich people leadership. He's, technically, a bagholder since when the crash happens everyone's going to be pissed and Paul Graham will have been out of operating YCombinator for years at that point. I hope we still find some way to charge Paul Graham for public indecency and fraud, because a fraud has been perpetuated on the American people. (Taking a company public is making the public the bagholder if the company DOESN'T MAKE MONEY. The rich people get their investment back and more, the poor people finally get to buy what they think is a profitable company, the stock crashes and the rich go "haha we're so good at producing value.")
Capitalism isn't the problem, but Capitalists are both idiots who are steering our economy into the ground with get-rich-quick schemes and criminals who need to have their power forcibly confiscated. !followers !schizos

No, but I expect the rich people who are running it to do just fine. I imagine the vast majority of the idiot rich people will still be rich idiots a decade from now (unless they die before that).
