did you read the piece? this is a specific implication that I haven't seen elsewhere (you have links?). it's a pretty standard prohibitionist argument and I feel like Hacker News could have a substantive discussion about it. I'm not a journalist, I care about this because I'm also in the tech industry.

A. Yes, I did read the piece.

B. Because you asked me that, this will be the last comment I write about it. Don't ask people whether they've read things they're commenting on.

I think it's a pretty silly piece that starts with an assumption that everyone in tech must side with Thiel and ends with pearl clutching. You asked. Now you know what I think and why I flagged it. I'm just one of many people who did that, and those are just my reasons.

Hope that's helpful.
