Wow, I can't believe these comments. I give. HN is stupid. Programmers are by and large stupid, we just have a set of specialized skills. I'm starting to understand now why so much…

I'm arguing for diversity of gender, skin color, cultural or sub-cultural background and identity. Diversity of viewpoint should already be a given. In order to promote tolerance y…

> "... that diversity hiring yields both better individual and group performance." This is a well-known, well-researched fact of organizational psychology. Are you guys really this…

I guess libertarianism is on its last legs if they have to give it a new name and a fresh coat of paint. The bullshit is still simplistic, as always.

Can someone please flag these shills. The article is about how evidence-based behavioral therapies like cbt can reduce crime, and should be applied as an alternative to prison for …

You can't generalize all agencies or all departments within an agency either. I'd be surprised if anyone working with Comey would give a damn based on what he tried to do to Apple,…

Well, scraping has taken place, so you've violated a eula and potentially committed theft. But you haven't violated copyright, as long as you do not distribute the data either, (th…

This isn't really a secret interpretation, I and a lot of people I knew noticed the same thing over a decade ago by reading the privacy policies of tech companies. Reading the data…

No, that's not even remotely close to what I'm saying or believe, you've constructed a strawman. But your comment is shockingly similar to what I've heard from people who still sup…

Half the people who make these videos still actually work for buzzfeed.

I used to believe the same thing until the aftermath of this election. It's not even remotely in the same ballpark. It's like the Dunning-Krueger effect except there's two more pea…

Reagan was an actor, not a businessman. He did shill though. Zuckerberg is waking up to how easily manipulable the portion of Americans who voted for Trump are. It's too easy. Just…

Marketing, sales, numerous supporting jobs in entertainment, skilled trades and engineering, (as many mentioned) white collar food industry jobs, logistics, accounting, statistics,…

Sorry, I can do better, just a bit tired of seeing shallow comments on hn.

...you must not know many people then. There's lots of opportunity for a middle class life in non-it-related professions. Something I found pretty shocking after I left the sv bubb…

Hmm, it doesn't appear to be their intention to fuck up education though. They tried to fund smaller classes but it ended up not improving performance and made schools more costly …

> While I understand your exhaustion, I wonder why they aren't suing companies providing certifications with 'Engineer' in the title. ... quoting from a comment above from someone …

...just be aware there isn't much evidence supporting most of what's on there...

Able-bodied? Sure. Able-minded? Not quite. There's a huge surplus of middle-age men more interested in pointless office politics and political propaganda than doing good work, cond…

Looking at the comments in this thread, I'm really starting to get sick of the stupidity and ignorance of the hn community. I hope you're all just paid provacateurs. War isn't some…

Welcome to the third world.

> That's a rather naive view of what's going on in the world right now. Is it? Did you watch the inauguration with all of its cheesy old-old-school references? Make what 'again?'

> If VR lives up to the hype we can have a future with no jobs, less income[0] Disregarding the hype, what we have right now, (which isn't fundamentally different from what we had …

> Highly skilled workers do not receive cost of living adjustments. I've been recruited for jobs in low cost of living and high cost of living areas. The pay is the same in both wh…
