I’m pretty shocked by the whole “profiting from a deceptive transaction is ok if the counterparty believes you” attitude here. I guess I expected more out of HN. I feel like I’d have to keep my hand on my wallet and my eyes over my shoulder if I ever visited any of these guys’ businesses.
HN has for a long time (longer than I've been here) had a strong libertarian streak, and like all libertarians they always seem to believe they're the ones who would come out on top in anarchy despite all historical evidence to the contrary.
