- "The fatigue/fear is reasonable, but it does not matter -- the world will not stop for you or anyone." It's not about stopping specific technology from advancing. HN is just source of news and discussion. Imagine if HN active threads were about technology or something that you are not excited about. Would you not feel tired of seeing every 2nd/3rd post about the same topic that you are not interested in?
- "Actually, there's no evidence that LCDs are bad for eyes:" If that was true, there would be no such thing as dry eyes.
- "Almost half of all jobs are filled through referrals by existing employees, so if you're cold applying to a company you're at best, cutting your chances in half and wasting your time."
I am sorry, what? Have you got any particular data you would like to back this up with? Why would a company have even a job ad if they are hiring someone through referrals?
"You're also forgoing important information _for you_ if you don't know anyone at the company you're applying to. How do you really know what it's like to work there?"
Uhm, what again? Are you saying that you cannot apply to a workplace where you don't know anyone? Well, looks like I have been getting jobs wrong all my life! Are you for real?
At least your last paragraph is ok.
