How many female mechanical engineers do you know? What about simply women who vaguely understand or are interested in how a car works? How many women have you been with? Even thoug…

We totally call bullshit every time when a man unduly gets credit. You can't see that because you are the sexist one. You really care that Bouman is a woman.

So far the comments suggest that no, nobody has. They are all of the form "it must be OK or they wouldn't do it", ie. the phenomenon where adults think someone else is looking afte…

Oh.. My bad. I thought he was a woman. No harm done then.

Wait, are you making sure that credit is given correctly? Is it just because Arnold Robbins is a woman? Why the sexism?

Yeah, I noticed that too. Instead of changing my user-agent string I switched to DuckDuckGo.

Probably because you mentioned reproductive strategies.

Jesus Christ. You're on hacker news. Grow up and stop behaving like retarded kid. You know what I mean.

By "someone else's" you surely mean "the bank's money". I don't think individuals are going to benefit from this, just a few large players around the world.

I read this thinking it might be interesting because I'm organising a book club at work. But it's more "how to make a safe space". No. My book club will not be a safe space, it is …

In terms of undoing, I use git and I could undo it with just a few keystrokes. As for the refactoring, yeah, you're right, that stuff would be difficult. I'll keep it in mind if I …

I don't think a website can decide to use public key pinning can it? But the client/browser can. Google won't let you route their traffic through a proxy (chrome does public key pi…

Yes, I think it's absolutely about securing profits. I've been downvoted to oblivion before when speaking out against it on HN before, though, so it may already be too late to stop…

Good for you, man. I hope the money continues to bring you happiness.
