A "significant tax on goods from China" is actually precisely what Trump is saying. > Wouldn't that just mean less cheap useless crap being purchased by people who can't afford it …

This piece spoke to me in a lot of ways. I’m not an adderall (or similar) user, but as a startup co-founder I can totally see the appeal of it that drives others—people much like m…

You operate your business like a sexist byproduct of a sexist society. If it's a toxic misogynist culture that makes women feel unwelcome, so be it, it's the best measure you've (c…

Do you have a hard time reading? "Sorry, but that is ridiculous goop." Also, you should really stop with the multiple cases of whining about "political correctness". It doesn't mak…

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you should stop going out on a limb, as you're clearly very poorly informed when it comes to these matters. But here's a citation for you: h…

“I can't believe that any woman” — stop right here. Whenever anyone on HN ever says this, they're really showing themselves to: 1) lack imagination 2) lack empathy (egregiously so)…

Ashe and Shanley do more for the open source community in an average week than I suspect you've ever done in a year.

Like I said in my original comment: there is a crucial difference between thinking harmful things, and acting on them. Actions matter. Thoughts that you keep to yourself? I don't c…

> You people are vicious. We're not the ones treating other people as lesser human beings who should be treated as second-class citizens in our society. > Lastly, equality isn't an…

You can be reasonable in many aspects and behaviors of your life, and be unreasonable in some that happen to matter more to the situation at hand. I think it's pretty safe to say t…

I agree that it can quickly become murky with certain things. As I said though, actions matter. Being a libertarian is a very different thing from donating $1000 to an anti-equal r…

…that the article and board members in question are willing to reveal. It's still entirely possible (and more likely if you ask me) that the Prop 8 angle and subsequent objections …

It's not really a litmus test. Mozilla is an organization that prides itself on openness and equality, on being inclusive as an organization and a culture. This is reflected in its…

Something that actively reinforces the status quo by what it is, is unable to ever be “part of the solution” by its very nature. The very idea of meritocracy reinforces the status …

It's disingenuous to argue that all genders need to "earn their strips and credibility through effort" when everyone who isn't male (and additionally, not white, and not straight, …

Being shot or earning less money unfairly is not "social ostracizing." You're being so incredibly disingenuous here and discrediting yourself so fiercely on any topic relating to s…

You do realize that of the list of first world countries, most no longer have conscription, and of those that do, over half of them include women, leaving just a tiny number where …

Yes, being bullied for being a nerd is TOTALLY WORSE than being shot for having a different skin color, being raped for having a vagina, being murdered for being transgender, being…

It's adorable how you think "nerds" are a legal demographic. Or that they are not privileged because BULLIES??? Or that someone fighting for their right to be respected against a s…

You are such an embarrassing cliché, I don't even know where you would have to begin to gain some perspective. Primary and secondary school history lessons, probably.
