Please don't rush from the first detail that infuriates you to the HN thread to post about it. That's the opposite of intellectual curiosity, the guiding value of this site. Curiosity looks around to see what's new; fury rushes to react to something old. It also breaks the site guidelines because (a) it will probably start a flamewar, and (b) such discussions are basically always the same. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Instead, wait until the first infuriated rush subsides, and then reflect on what a thoughtful post might say, and how it might contribute to curious conversation. If you can't think of anything like that, it's the better part of valor not to post. This is the reflexive/reflective distinction: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....
