Very good observation. It's unfortunate that this topic seems to allow for zero debate. There are quite a few reasons that someone wouldn't want genders treated different, but even…

It's difficult, and it's why I think a project like Tor should stay out of polarizing political movements. The reason I can't support feminism (outside the scope of this article bu…

No. First of all you're being pretty rude. Secondly, I don't want ANY pecking order in Tor. They should just focus on making privacy tools and leave the unrelated political messagi…

I wouldn't say "clearly". They make reference to doing something about harassment but give no outline what that might be. The post is tagged feminism. Believe it or not, not everyo…

What exactly does this mean? Are there new centralized control mechanisms in the works for Tor? This seems like a really bad idea TBH. I don't want my privacy tools to come with so…

His female colleagues had no issue with the shirt. It was the guy who wrote The Verge article and the following pile on that had issue with it. In fact some of his female colleague…

This wasn't an attack on "men" it was an attack on a specific man and yes, it was totally outrageous. Women don't need thicker skin. No man or woman should be criticized for how th…

Diverse, as long as you dress EXACTLY how you're "supposed" to. A friend made him this shirt. He was wearing it as a tribute since the day was important to him. He got nailed to th…

No, but it's horribly unfair to ruin what is probably going to be the most important day in this guy's life. The shirt was made by a woman who's friends with the guy anyway. He's j…

It was a reaction to an article yesterday on The Verge ( http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/13/7213819/your-bowling-shir... ) So sadly, it was the US press that made this happen.

Incorrect, women aren't as weak as you think they are. He worked with many awesome women to make this mission happen BTW. More likely this type of overreaction and hysteria will ke…

It's not just the US. Just today the UK press made the lead scientist of the Rosetta mission cry by attacking his SHIRT instead of celebrating his achievements. http://www.telegrap…

I have been retweeted by it :P I stand by my opinion though despite the (anticipated) downvoting. Programming in PHP is anti-intellectual.

My problem with PHP is that it's a signal of developer laziness. There are a lot of very interesting things going on with languages nowadays. If you develop in PHP because "it pays…

His technical background is clearly insufficient in that he doesn't understand the BASIC technical problems in his argument. Yet, he feels he's qualified to authoritatively call fo…

You sound like a really good doctor, but alas I'm pretty healthy (thankfully!).

I agree that there are good doctors, but I'd rather not have it be such a crap shoot. The consistency and depth of knowledge provided by an expert system of some sort seems like th…

You can definitely feel this as a patient. If I could give my vitals to an app and have it diagnose and prescribe remedies, I would do it in a heart beat and never visit a doctor a…

Was it a love for Native American culture that caused the original European settlers to come to the US? No, it was raw opportunity. Unless you're talking about Native American cult…

There are plenty of untalented natives in any country. I do not think the government is particularly good at spotting talent. We should just let everyone in IMO. Besides, "talent" …

I agree that would be hypocritical. I didn't tell him to wait his turn though, I told him I support open borders. If he wanted to come into this country illegally, I personally wou…

Good genes?! This is the most racist thing I've read on HN. I see why you have a throwaway account.

What harm were those people actually causing you?

I live in the US and I'm not ensured any of those things. Allowing more people into the country could only improve our economy. We would be more "selective"? How would we select?

Why don't you want open borders? You haven't said why it's bad.
