I'm not going to get bogged down in a "no true scotsman" fallacial argument. People define themselves by these terms and the terms are also widely used. If you can't figure them ou…

When was the last time a gay in your home town was actually strung up? How about a black man? As a direct contrast, the number of minorities in my little hometown has increased at …

> Please, explain why this is an unreasonable standard? Because you haven't described a standard, you've asked for "broad, systematic evidence." What exactly constitutes "broad, sy…

My grandfather used to say to me "all those books and all you do is eat the pages." He would usually say it after I would overthink something ridiculously simple, like righty tight…

Ditto. The left made the personal political, not the right. They're the ones who say we're not allowed to have jobs if we think the wrong thoughts or have the wrong opinions. Even …

Wireless shifting. It's supposed to save us from the tyranny of the shift cable.

Is it so strange? If their engineering and security are poor, they wouldn't want that fact exposed by somebody outside the company. A reputation for poor engineering is the touch o…

One of the benefits of software work is its asynchronous nature[0]. Unfortunately, it requires a certain amount of trust that engineers aren't extended in these days of Scrum micro…

Why are you Qt averse? Is it the C++ or something to have to do with Qt itself?

We subconsciously equate size with value. A physical book sitting on a shelf benefits from being (or looking) large, especially if it costs $15. Digital books don't suffer from the…

> Could you explain the difference between nationalism and tribalism? A tribe could be described as a people of common genetic ancestry. On the occasion they have an ancestral home…

Nationalism doesn't lead to wars, massacres and other oppression and brutality. That's tribalism leading to that. Tribalism is one of those built in human behaviors we have that we…

All evidence points to the contrary. There's been a pendulum swing in the younger generations away from omnipresent technology such as mobile phones and facebook. It's a mistake to…

> Now I realize that software is the wrong tool for the job. tl;dr: most productivity apps are marketed to disorganized people. I say target the already organized and make their li…

Meh, I'm not so convinced. AR is certainly a great way to interact with real time information, but there's a time and a place for that. I don't want to be out at dinner and be inte…

I've already seen those. Have you seen this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10480684 There's a reason I asked MCRed. He has a unique perspective on this that I value.

Are you in a position to name company names? Most everybody I interview with does this (at a minimum). I'd love to interview at a company that has a smarter system in place.

I find it comforting that a surgeon would consider his field of top importance, especially since it's neurosurgery.

> Would that ever happen? Very rarely. It happened to me a few years ago. A guy had just robbed a 7-11 and I was walking home from work. The cop stopped me, cuffed me, put me in hi…

Earth Class Mail does it too.

> Usually people choose their governments via media nowadays and media are really, really bad. In the US maybe, but not in france. There's been very little pro-nationalist coverage…

> During the SOPA/PIPA legislation, multiple websites went dark to protest against the legislation. People in HN applauded it. Why is it now childish for an opensource software dev…
