Also the assumption a publication that’s been around for 150 years is disposable, not the web application that was created a year ago. I’ve been saying for a while that people’s credulity and impulse to believe absolutely any storyline related to technology is off the charts.

This is hackernews. Many people here work for startups and big tech companies. Their fortunes are tied to the perception that the technology they build is disruptive and valuable. They're not impartial.

Been around for 150 years but I imagine the generations who it leans on are dying off. Nobody reads print media format anymore, we get our news elsewhere, for free and with varying political undertones, rather than the fixed one of a bought and paid for outlet.

Keep in mind these guys play both sides of every field they cover in their "news".
