Curious how this trait is American? Is there something about the way Americans speak that is fake?

I have friends who work at both large and small companies, as well as startups, and more often than not this is the case. Surprisingly, those who work at a YC startup face the PIP quite regularly for not enough token usage.

> Is there still grammar police on the Internet, calling out people for making grammatical mistakes in their writing?

This is one of the last places on the internet that actually has grammar police, as commenters here have a desire to be technically correct in all aspects.

I spoke to a few HNers who I know flagged this post. They mentioned that they flagged it because it goes against the HN guidelines - a holy grail of sorts - and that the post does not invite "curious discussion". When prompted, they mentioned they would much rather read about pro-Musk technological exploits than anything against the US.

Why is this title not editorialized like others when it's ambiguous?

I wonder if a more "hardcore" team, by his words, would have handled this legal case better?

New comment by Freedom2 in "Tesla Solar Roof is on life support as it pivot to panels"

Freedom2 — Sun, 17 May 2026 05:06:57 +0000

As someone who owns a Solar Roof, this news is disappointing. Many of my friends have said it's the best roof they've ever seen, and I even sometimes get compliments from people who drive past.

New comment by Freedom2 in "Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California"

Freedom2 — Fri, 15 May 2026 20:55:25 +0000

I don't see a problem? As a hacker and HN poster, I believe the free market will determine the value of a game. If it's not economically feasible anymore to make games for under $5, the market will adjust.

Interesting. Could you elaborate on any specifics for this claim?

It's generally not curious discussion however, which is a pillar of this community.

New comment by Freedom2 in "Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off"

Freedom2 — Fri, 08 May 2026 22:31:56 +0000

I currently own 5 luxury vehicles and have ridden in a Cybertruck, and the Cybertruck is so far below in terms of quality it makes me question what luxury features you see in it.

New comment by Freedom2 in "Cloudflare to cut about 20% workforce"

Freedom2 — Fri, 08 May 2026 05:30:47 +0000

Well how can they have the time or resources to invest in retaining talent? They're busy hiring more interns, where one could be an "attention all you need" research paper writer, who could set up the next stage of innovation which you'll completely miss if you do not get anyone.

New comment by Freedom2 in "Utah senator smacks ABC reporters phone out of hand amid Data Center controversy"

I'm just glad that this can never happen in America thanks to our constitution!

New comment by Freedom2 in "AI slop is killing online communities"

Freedom2 — Thu, 07 May 2026 23:57:21 +0000

The comments that aren't grammatically correct get pedantically corrected by those HNers too, so that's nice.

New comment by Freedom2 in "AI slop is killing online communities"

Freedom2 — Thu, 07 May 2026 19:32:32 +0000

I generally disagree, because the level of discourse here has always been very high, curious and intellectual.

Definitely. Can you imagine the kind of world we'd live in if we had to sign each message with each product we used?

New comment by Freedom2 in "Two millionth electric car registered as market rebounds from tax changes"

Freedom2 — Tue, 05 May 2026 20:18:52 +0000

Curious as to why American EVs never took off. The US is the most advanced country technologically and has the greatest soft power in history to make deals.

Must be the confident free speech.

New comment by Freedom2 in "Trump fires NSF's oversight board"

People on this site would literally say "actually you can't do this" as they're being taken away to somewhere to never be heard from again.

Are they initiating or continuing curious discussion? If so, then by all means they are following the most important HN guidelines so nothing can really be done.
