    I'm not sure what part of my link talked about being white.

    No, I was just trying to point out how racist you sound. Saying things like "my white friends"? Seriously? I now just realized that you are a very stereotyping person and exactly t…

    So I guess the KKK isn't racist. Interesting... > "We're not racists," Chambers told CNN Monday. "We just want to be with white people. If that's a crime, then I don't know. It's a…

    This has nothing to do with my "fantasyland" or wanting everyone to be equal. Its about making racial and other generalizations without publishing the full data with it. Racial and…

    No, I think if they are going to make the generalizations, they need to publish the data they used to make those generalizations. Its the fact that okCupids data is private and pro…

    So while its fun to play around with data, these are not real insights. The very idea that they can think some metric you've gathered via an online app can determine whether someon…

    When you publicly disclose the results, without any way for the data to be peer reviewed? Absolutely.

    The spookiest thing is not the data or the experiments, but the off the cuff conclusions. For example: > As a group, for instance, Latino men rated Latinas as 13 percent more attra…

    Not to speak for the comment you are replying to, but in my experience it likely means that those that worried more about the startup than themselves ended up worse off than those …

    > even if your company isn’t tech-heavy (such as Dinnr). I feel like this would be a giant red flag to me. You are essentially a logistics startup, and you believe this is not "tec…

    It isn't a ponzi scheme because Amazon isn't dependent on new share purchases to keep running. It is a fully functioning operation that is in the black. It just isn't generating an…

    So were political activists and other people "forced" to go to the Gulag? Or, like US citizens who live in poverty for being artists, did they "choose" to do something the governme…

    Well, if you read the article, you would have read about two students, 1 went to Dartmouth and the other went to Yale. The former worked at a bar, if I remember correctly and the l…

    You may want to read what I wrote one more time. I did not say that those outside of finance deal with lack of food, safety and health. I stated that if one has less money than som…

    That's kind of my point. How is forcing that indie developer in live in Alaska, much different from the Soviets shipping someone off to Siberia because they didn't get with the pla…

    I made an earlier comment about that perception you have. You are likely and upper class US citizen who looks down on things like taxis and the bus. If "providing value" means play…
