Not sure how to respond to this. For many gay and lesbian men and women (including myself) Brendan Eich's donation to support Prop 8 was a very clear message. I'm perfectly happy t…

Totally agree, and I don't know why more people don't say this. I actually enjoy going and looking at the food I'm going to buy. Most stores have nice extras like coffee shops and …

> My total comp this year is upwards of $250k This attitude is why there's been so much pushback against tech in places like San Francisco and Seattle.

Yes, it's just this simple. I don't know why more people can't understand how basic this is.

Well, it's clear they already have one.

Wow, it sounds like you're saying their implementations are incompetent or something? Just kidding, Electron is pigware to the the extreme.

More than half of Americans support single-payer. Some estimates are as high as 70%. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/28/most-americans-now-support-m... I absolutely support single-pay…

And to think that so much of the technology that makes this possible comes from the Valley itself! As a US citizen, the idea of being able to work anywhere is appealing. If your in…

I think, if it were feasible, OSM could use a really sharp CEO. I think it has incredible potential, but it needs strong leadership to determine strategy for differentiation, produ…

I'm not doubting that some Chinese students cheat. Maybe it's even higher than the proportion of students in other ethnic groups who cheat. I'm simply saying that it shouldn't be f…

People who can, do, and people who can't, cheat. It's the way of the world, and not isolated to any particular ethic group, social class, or otherwise.

I feel like personal credibility is the only real way to get teammates to follow your lead. And that involves things like following your teammates lead as well. Collaboration is an…

That's an utterly fallacious argument and you know it. We're talking about current US immigration policy, not the history of the US, which no one is in a position to change. Your a…

Well put! I shouldn't assume.

In addition to being cheap and uncivil, it's absolutely unbelievable (but not surprising) that a foreign national here in this country as a guest of the American people thinks that…

This leftist is is vehemently and resolutely against H1-B. I've posted about it many times here on HN. I feel like access to good jobs and housing are bedrock social justice issues…

I totally agree. My parents own a 'cabin' in a development in the mountains, and the biggest cabin in the development -by far- is owned by a a plumber. He has done very well, and I…

Super useful community in some ways. Like many others in this thread, I was more or less scared off by super users. I know quite a lot about GLSL, shader programming, and GPU tech,…

>> Also, they do not get the right to decide where people live. That's fundamentally entitled, selfish, and greedy attitude. Oh but new people do that all the time.

Scrapping H1-B doesn't end legal immigration. Saying that you want to end immigration to the US, period, is anti-immigrant. Saying that you want to end H1-B because you think these…

Getting rid of H1-B wouldn't end immigration though.

This discussion isn't about how to immigrate to the US. Well I'm sorry you feel that way. You could always return to your home country and fight to make things better there. That's…

American worker doesn't mean "white Murican worker". It means American citizen. American citizen isn't a synonym for Caucasian. You're doing that thing that people do when we talk …

Even worse, many non-profits are exempt from the annual caps. http://www.thenonprofittimes.com/news-articles/nonprofits-us... "For-profit companies and many nonprofits come under a…
