I mean "lighten up" as in, she perceives "a million little barbs" around her and sees herself as the victim of sexism lurking everywhere. She didn't just criticize one company or c…

Dunno. I'm a woman, and I think that blog poster needs to lighten up. I've worked in IT for years - usually as the only woman on the team - and I've never felt degraded or discrimi…

Sexist comments like the one on the flyer are dumb, and these people deserve to be called out on it, but to imply they are keeping women out of tech careers is ridiculous (and in i…

Ironic, isn't it. Managers whose jobs revolve around communication, coordination, and staying on top of things get offices with doors where they can isolate themselves. Developers …

I think it would be cool to have a special section on HN where we can post beta versions of our sites and get feedback from the web-savvy people on HN, without the pressure and tra…

What is new about this generation is that they graduate with enormous student loan debt. They already have a "mortgage" or rent payment, only it goes towards their loans. We desper…

I like this. Hey, even Chris Sacca tweeted about sleeping in a Wal-Mart parking lot. (Not sure about his setup, though.) https://twitter.com/#!/sacca/status/156064344831045632 Hard…

Loved it. Very entertaining, and a great twist at the end. I LOLed.

Many startup ideas are about extracting a few more dollars from the end user - what kind of annoyance can we solve today? - but I think it's important to think beyond the scope of …

Pinterest has a market valuation of > 200 million dollars... 30%+ of its images are flickr images... ... 99%+ of which are "All Rights Reserved". How many ... page views, ... new s…

Happened to me at a small company that was swimming in cash (swank offices). They told me that if you get seriously ill within the first 60 days, you can sign up for COBRA and be c…

I concur. I love discussing implementation details of different designs, but it has always been to my disadvantage to acknowledge what's good about a competing vision and lay out i…

Funny: Every user comment on reddit has about 3.4 KB of HTML overhead ( , in-line javascript, etc), including multiple comments. It really adds up for a large thread.

Giving attribution to imgur would be pointless as it is not a site known for original works. My guess is, the percentage of original images uploaded to imgur by the author is a sma…

The attribution is not next to the image. A pinterest user would have to click on the picture to be taken to flickr and see the author/username. But how many people will do that if…

It's not about the amount of information you take in, but about how much you identify with it. You can hear all day long about how much money other people make, but if you take it …

Just checked... pinterest creates a copy of the medium-size image and stores it on their own servers. Users can view and re-pin it without seeing the context and author. Very surpr…

My account is semi-fake, with a real pic and a few friends, but my birthday in 1920. It's great, except for those annoying "Never too old for love" and "Mature Singles" ads.

For sure. Big industry names don't assimilate; they mold their environment to what they know (and they usually bring other people with them who come from the same place). Because o…

I am surprised at all the negativity here. Working at a startup is obviously very different from working in a corporate environment. You have to thrive on risk and be so passionate…
