You can’t in good faith say the root article was an “article about chip making” unless you didn’t read the article. I will only agree my tone was off but it was very much on topic and anyone who actually read the article would realize it’s political. I’ve learned often what HN is going for, which is often shallow group think, and I agree HN is better when it posts articles that are “about chip making” but this wasn’t one of them. The silver lining is at least we can still comment on this without the “system” making a “decision” that just ends the discussion immediately.
