Depends.

A HN pub crawl would be cool, you want diversity to keep things interesting while using HN as a broadly similar filter would help to ensure there are some overlapping interests.

More targeted groups are good for learning or specific activities.

How about Hacker News music scene?

People meet and play/jam/work/demo new music.

Focus on anything audio/software related that makes music.

Buying tapes, or nowadays CDs has very little to do with wax cylinders.

Im with you dude. Music has a distinct meaning to me. I like to engage in the story, not consume passively.

Just read another thread "my seatbelt rule for judgement" https://www.dannyguo.com/blog/my-seatbelt-rule-for-judgment/ ,I can't agree more.

Before you make any judgement about anything, you need to learn about it. In this case, go visit Xinjiang, talk with natives, see with your own eyes, and then you know who's telling lies.

When the truth comes to light what will you say? Nothing ... you voice is only to provide this temporary stay of injustice.

You take some of blood and place a drop on your hands.

"And you better believe it's all done with an approving nod by the Western powers."

Maybe often, but surely not always. The recent coup d'etat in Mali for example was certainly not approved by the west (or went out of hands) as the new government rather shifts to china and russia.

Seems like the west is busy at the moment... thats why they let China get their hooks in instead of playing thr same move themselves.

These two problems (Windows and Office) are already solved - at least for a part of the population. On the other hand, avoiding Google completely is practically impossible.

It can still be anti Semitic because you need to compare with the base rate of a peer institution that does not have anti Semitic recruitment practices. Comparing with the overall population is a fallacy.

Ok now do the same for all the rest of the minorities. But wait they dont have presidents representing their communities. What you said makes no sense.
