> but why did they flag it?

I can guess because it's mostly political, but you really should ask yourself why you think I would know their reasons.

You have a 2007 account FFS - why are you asking strangers why other strangers do things after 20 years on HN ?

well, not necessarily you, but you did attempt to explain why yet left out the meat of my question

The meat of your question goes to TP/IP (telepathy over the internet) and the supposed wisdom of the crowd.

incredible deal

Yes. The screen broke after one week, but the seller even replaced it for free. They seem to go for double that today now :/

righteous seller

legend

“Local woman discovers Nathan For You”

it's a fair criticism though. learning and eventually relying on new tools is an investment. it helps to know the developer is invested too, not just moonlighting.

who have you asked?

“return to innocence” by enigma

mesmerized by it growing up, could only recall the native american-sounding chanting. googled “hey yah heyyyyyyy” and found the answer on reddit. turns out it samples/infringes an indigenous taiwanese (amis) chant.

I think of youuuu

Yes, but being a failed dreamer doesn’t entitle you to lie forever.

Decades?

Ouch. Thank you for sharing this story. I am stunned but weirdly unsurprised. I encountered several people like this version of Bob in silicon valley. Some of them reached huge liquidity events and that bought them enough credibility that they’re still finessing people decades later. Completely agree with one of the comments under Jeremy’s post:

I guess I got fooled by Cringely back in the old days. His journalistic work with Triumph of the Nerds was great, but only because of the subject matter and the people being interviewed. Whenever the topic veered to Cringely himself (which happened more than it should have) the work suffered.
