Ask HN: In The Matrix, the bad guys are the 'agents'. Coincidence? Clairvoyance?

My buddy, Dario, says agents are getting more aggressive and will soon kill everybody, and I feel like I've seen this movie before.

Show HN: Opine, a public polling website with maps

Hacker News - Sun, 09/13/2026 - 4:43pm

Hi, I made Opine (https://opinepolls.com), a poll-based social media site. Each post is a public poll asking users their opinion on something, anonymously, so no user sees any other user's information, but you can freely browse other polls. Private polls can also be made.

The only information actually stored is the email, from Google sign in, and an approximate location for the map feature, if you enable it. This allows you to see a world map of votes, what opinions are present in what places.

The intent is to catalog the world's opinions, organizing people's public thoughts so they're easy to sift through. This data can be extremely valuable, whether it's political polling, information about people's preferences, trends over time, and so on. Many people could benefit from this, and it's meant as a public service, to lift the veil on what people think about any topic, at any time. Easier political polling is just one obvious application of this.

Please try it out and give any feedback, thoughts, questions, and so on, here or within the profile section on the website, which is fully anonymous. Thanks.
