Is this a real issue though? If I comply to regulations to remove data as required by law, I'd be surprised if a government body could require me to provide data I am supposed to h…

You actually claim that women selling sex through trafficking channels are doing so out of free will?

Did you read the article? It states that the women selling sex in this case are victims of trafficking.

There's not much to discuss regarding morals in this article, but I really can't stand justifications or "explanations" such as this: > ...overwhelmingly male and requiring long, l…

Why would deduction of points lead to understanding?

Many seem to claim that using these methods are manipulative. One could also argue that knowing these methods put those that lack inherited social skills, or find it scary to inter…

A decent consultant would never leave from one day to the other. If the employer/customer is doing their part, a consultant is reliable. The money's better, the reputation is what …

> "One explanation is that dissatisfied customers are substantially less likely to give feedback" This is given as a truth in the article but the opposite seem to be the truth for …

This is not the image I have of SP. Okay with cheap laughs, but I believe they (mostly) punch up.

I really don't understand the mentality that you should act as your opponent is a decent person while at the same time claim that they're spreading lies. If someone would act like …

I don't know about how bigger firms feel about it, but I'd probably not regard it as a positive. Only show me code you think I'd accept at my work place. For juniors it could be a …

A trick to get into a race (not based on empirical evidence, just my own experience) is to start counting in your head and turn off everything else. I counted 1-2-3 after I almost …

So many commenters are missing the point or actively trying to misread the article. The point is that when you're young you're going to do things that seem correct and thought thro…

Pretty much all of my time. We're a small shop. I network like crazy, both paid and free networks. If you have to choose, always go with paid. I also setup lunches with potential p…

So it's a REST API with a webapp I can whitelabel? Why would I pay for this - what is the problem it solves? If it's anywhere near as brilliant in implementation as Stripe is I rea…

Isn't this actually the same thing, but from a grown-up perspective and from a child perspetive? If I say I want to work less, I would imply that I would be less stressed.

Hi HN. I'm currently building a product that integrates with a segment of restaurants. The product has hit beta and I'm in early talks with owners on implementing it in their estab…

I second this. As an adult with kids, I rarely make new friends that are more than acquaintances. However, running with groups have given me more than 10 friends the last two years…

This is really out of touch with the majority of friends and family where I come from. Sound advice if you're from privilege I guess. (Not meant to be rude)

Op states that it's ridiculously expensive. Others respond that it's not a problem since you can always shack up with friends or strangers and use different food deliveries to save…

The whole response thread of this question reads as satire.

That this post is flagged is a shame. It's a shame that speaking about sexism is still being treated as a political stance by many.

Asking as someone not living in the US. Are mushrooms common and generally seen as ok for consumption in California?

I had to get a new MBP really quick, and didn't know about the USB-C. I couldn't even use it for work since none of the monitors (one Thunderbolt, one would HDMI) would plug in, my…

Why is this being downvoted? It seems that he identify as an introvert and gives his side to the story?
