Are you suggesting that the fact that I wrote it in 2015 somehow makes it 'dated'?

I could update it but I think the fact that it was written before Trump I actually makes it more powerful than less, and you're welcome to extrapolate from 2015 to 2026 and see where it's headed.

Isn’t it just an hn convention?

I agree with your comment I’m replying to completely, but the date tag doesn’t have to be an indictment (as you yourself suggest)

That's why I'm asking a question. For me the difference between then and now is then, 2015 it was still a thing that I saw hanging in the future, the OPM hack is what prompted me to write this. But if I had not written this then I would probably be writing it today on account of the ICE article currently on the front page.

All of those big tech companies have willingly given in to Trump and his band of goons and are cooperating at a scale that dwarfs anything the Germans could have ever wished for. The article shows the damage that one single field in one single file could do. Now multiply that by a couple of 1000.

The potential for an epic disaster is definitely there and even HN is apparently not immune to having its share of bootlickers and bootwearers.

To cast the entire HN community as composed of {X} would be against the guidelines.

To deny that the HN community contains some {X} would be blinkered.
