"Given that feminism is the advocation of social and political equality twixt genders" sigh - that's not really what feminism is... But no point to argue on HN. Just, maybe, keep y…

So does that kind of thing ever happen to men (for example a stalker could spread that they are pedophiles or whatever)?

Gothic 2, Risen

Very cool, but also depressing because it seems to be rather complex and a lot of work. I suppose if I would find myself stuck in the jungle somewhere, I would have to do without e…

I would be interested to learn more about these things. What companies are in the business, what is the best choice and so on? Is there a common name for this kind of robot?

Perhaps in a couple of years somebody will write the opposite article: what it feels like to attend a conference in a human body.

So lame...

And the nearest breeder lives 1000 miles away?

"minutes later we were making the 1,000 mile drive there. Next morning little Crossley was part of the family." Obviously this kind of lifestyle is possible today. I don't want to …

Maybe you are right in this case. However, nightclubs need women because a major reason to go there is to hook up. What is the reason to bribe women into showing up at hacking comp…

And what about that is racist in your opinion?

Still, it's not racism, just the way the human visual system works. What do you think is racist about it? "People don't even care enough to remember the name"? That is not what is …

"There is a slight correlation between the egalitarianism of a household and a fairer division of domestic labor" How did they measure "fairness" of the division of domestic labor?…

Yeah it's really annoying that once you have kids, you also have to spend time with them.

"marginalized" implies discrimination

That may be so, but then it wouldn't be the fault of discrimination.

I've read somewhere that most open source contributors started their own projects, rather than joining existing ones.

"more than 8 in 10 open source developers are white" According to Wikipedia 72% of the population of the USA are white, so maybe 8 in 10 is not really that much of an indication of…

"we updated Chrome’s certificate revocation metadata immediately to block that intermediate CA" Dumb question, why then does Chrome on my computer show "Google Chrome is up to date…

By that logic the whole computer industry is worthless because it's comprised of worthless ones and zeros.
