Yes, finally! I've always said, the way to end gender discrimination is to create a secretive forum that selects members based on gender discrimination.

The misrepresentation is a feature, not a bug. They need to create dragons in order to justify their dragon-slaying crusade. This has been going on for years, BTW.

HOW DO I BUY?!

Awesome game. My only request would be make the planes less maneuverable and move more like real planes. This would make it less chaotic and allow more dog-fight and strategic play…

Let psychologists prescribe common, low-risk psych drugs (instead of scarcer psychiatrists), let optometrist prescribe glasses, etc.

The smart move would be to say she's switching parties because of Trump, run as a conservative Democrat left of Trump but right of the progressive wing.

This is cute, but I now see comments endorsing this brand of hate and hysteria (albeit with a less violent flair) on HN everyday. If you're going to suggest that you haven't notice…

Any HN mods want to jump in here and suggest maybe HN is a tech forum and not the appropriate place to promote political violence? Or perhaps this brand of hate and hysteria has co…

This is a highly politicized and subjective use of the word "democracy." It would be more forthright to just say, "I like Soros's politics."

Theil is becoming the liberal media's George Soros - the enigmatic billionaire pulling the strings of his evil conservative conspiracy.

"This study shows my tribe is better than yours because my tribe doesn't think tribally."

I've only seen a few pieces by Martin, but everyone was a gross distortion of the situation covered. She's a propagandist pushing anti-Western narratives, not a journalist summariz…

They need to keep the capital flowing in order to fund the police/military that prop up the authoritarian regime.

You've put an interesting perspective on the safety/cost balance. I find it ironic that the replier is effectively demonstrating your point: people have an emotional attachment to …

Then the farmers started shooting the wolves. Circle of life.

> Whether or not people ARE NOTICING YOUR EVERY MOVE. Yeah, for me the feeling of being implicitly watched and judged all day causes low-level anxiety.

Agreed. This is "feelings over professionalism." If you're so uncontrollably emotional that you can't help but waste company time, take a sick day. But I think the problem is that …

Find one successful programmer at Google/Apple/Facebook/Cisco/etc. with an IQ of 90. Remembering basic equations, keeping long sequences of functions sorted in your head, even unde…

You've clearly never met a person who is unable to place a hanger inside of a shirt and hang it on a rack, or a person who can't sort 5 single-digit numbers mentally. What you are …

Another major glaring problem that no one wants to admit is that lots of tech work requires (at the very least) college-level-IQ, which excludes the majority of the population. And…

Most nihilists don't spend countless hours inventing complex devices and embarking on adventures.

I meant we markup the computing power of the server (not exactly the purchase price). My host rents me a server that can perform X calculations for $Y/hour. I divide and resell tha…

Me too. But I write it for the web, so I get paid for the massive markup on web servers running the code.

Turns out writers weren't being paid for their songs, but were being paid for a portion of the massive markup on a plastic disk. Now that the disks are gone, the value of the song …
