Jesse Schell: "I think we killed them all, cause that's how we roll." http://storify.com/devonvsmith/games-for-change-jesse-schell... P.S. The whole talk is worth listening to when…

Oh duh, I read the "with" as "as". Thx.

How does a non-technical single founder get "recognized as one of the smartest technical folks on HN"? Other than that, enlightening post.

Very happy to see this launch. I'm happy staying on the East coast, but if NewME ever launches something in NY I'd love to be a part of it. My only quibble is with this: "Without s…

I don't fault myself or anyone else. I think it's just something that happens naturally when a large group of people dominate an industry. If this were a hip hop board, we might be…

I think the first two reasons affect everyone pretty equally, but the 3rd rings pretty true in a couple ways. I was lucky enough to attend several city schools with serious technol…

My best shot is: because you cannot make cool TV shows about computer scientists It's not that you CAN'T make shows like this, it's that producers/writers project their own stereot…

I would love to give it another chance then. My biggest regret about how things went down is that I missed a lot of the cool, web-based stuff that was going on all these years (I w…

No, because IRC wasn't the only place to seek knowledge. I continued to peruse other parts of the internet that didn't allow such blatant racism to slide. Beyond my C++ classes, I …

Somewhat off-topic: I had my first experience with IRC at 15. I'd recently discovered fansubbing and wanted to find subbed copies of the yet-un-aired in America episodes of Sailorm…

Do you feel the same way about Jisho ( http://jisho.org/ )? I generally find it handy.

1. The story about Obama' Os makes it seem so easy to raise $32k. Of course it does not always pan out the same way. I don't think he meant that it was easy. I think he meant the e…

I don't follow football, but I do watch the superbowl, and I frequently see teams with black head coaches on the field. It's easy to pretend there are no barriers, or that the barr…

I've received a lot of backhanded compliments in my life (i.e. you're pretty for a dark skinned girl) and they are annoying but I don't think this was one of them. To me it read li…

Depends on what you mean by "stealth". If stealth means spending over a year and a boatload of cash developing a product without ever getting any feedback from any potential custom…

You are missing my point. The comment isn't about me. It's about men who have these old-fashioned expectations of women, but don't reciprocate by fulfilling the traditional role fo…

Someone should point back to this article every time there is a discussion about the lack of women/blacks/latinos in tech. I don't generally go into a situation thinking people are…

I'd like to know more about the dating lives of the guys who DON'T think this line of thinking belongs in the previous century.

You're right, women DON'T have to feel like prostitutes because the options for women have greatly expanded. We no longer have to be confined to the "traditional" roles that encour…

Then party like it's 1950. ETA: With the growing number of men who refuse to pick up every check, plan every date/event, act as sole provider for the family, purchase gifts regular…

Thing is, when you're job hunting you don't get ANY feedback 99% of the time. I don't actually mind negative feedback because then you know where and how to improve. What bothers m…

The many negative responses to this resume are exactly why I've let go of the job hunt and embraced the path of the entrepreneur. Even when you go above and beyond, winning over th…

Mestizo, typically.

There are black people all over Latin America. During the slave trade, about 60% of slaves wound up in Portuguese and Spanish America. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_t…

Yeah, I should have clarified. I don't think black hispanics and african americans should be classified as separate racial groups, but the two groups are definitely make up differe…
