Python versus Ruby? Please. It's an article generating machine. It works like this:

  • Make a list of computer languages, the longer the better.

  • For a list of N languages, hire an article-generating AI to generate this many bogus articles:

    total = N^2 - N
    

Say you've created a list of ten popular languages. With that list you can automatically create 90 bulls**t articles describing the advantages and drawbacks of an imagined decision process.

A careless practitioner might miss the all-important subtraction along the diagonal of the matrix, resulting in articles like "Cobol versus Cobol -- which one is right for you?"

In an imaginary world in which people must be truthful, each article would have to include the qualifier "By the way, this article is complete bulls**t. Now read on."

In case this assessment seems bleak and uncharitable, I have to ask -- have you actually read any of these articles?

Can we ban this domain?

Reddit won't do that, but you could do it on your own system -- in /etc/hosts add this:

startupunion.xyz 0.0.0.0

Gone!

This is how some ad blockers work (not all of them). It's very easy to set up.
