Biology rears it's ugly head once again.

Sure. But when all of the wealthy leave, don't beg to come back to the US

Covert racism and sexism, which happens much much less than what many portray, yes. However, we aren't talking about that. We are talking about what can't be measured. The pay-wage…

Good. Then the same thing applies to covert sexism and racism that's posted about constantly on HN. I'm glad we can agree on something.

It's subliminal and covert. You can't really measure it. It comes in the form of an attitude and a culture change. Sound familiar?

This still requires the use of a battery. I've seen some pretty badly maintained toilets in different parts of the world. I forsee many of these toilets not being used or maintaine…

I think an entire generation has just learned a lesson in civics. Our system worked as designed: The candidate that won the electoral college won the presidency. I lost faith in de…

Okay, I'll bite. In response to your failure comment: I meant being evicted or not having food on the table if you don't succeed. Not being able to retire by 40 is a very strange i…

No, no it won't. Innovation is generally not accelerated by people that are comfortable/have all of their basic needs met. It's accelerated when you are put into a situation where …

I can't see my original reply, so I think something is wrong with HN. Reality is more like: 2 out of 10 monkeys spend all their waking hours sacrificing and working so their childr…

too short: less than a year Too long: longer than 5 years

It was pure brilliance. They had a staff of only a handful of people and were able to compete against more money, resources, and people..and win.

"he brogrammer -- the collar-popping, protein shake-slurping, Nerf gun-wielding dude cranking out code -- is the subject of a new video, out Thursday, from education nonprofit Girl…

Reality is more like: 2 out of 10 monkeys spend all their waking hours sacrificing and working so their children can have more than 1 banana and then give 15 out of the 20 bananas …

The extremists minority are being used as an excuse to go after anyone with a certain political view. If this weren't the case, why isn't Reddit and Twitter banning the countless e…

The US became less racist toward Asian Americans because we are no longer at war with them (WW2, Korean war, Vietnam). "If Asians could find success within the system, politicians …

"The problem is they aren't their own little community. They actively target, brigade (large group upvoting/downvoting), and intentionally troll other communities with their only g…

I'm getting anti-trump Hillary might have won if you get rid of the electoral college and change all the rules around ----fatigue. What's interesting is that when Obama won in 2008…

Are you sure you still have a job?

It's not about being outside your 'comfort zone'. I've been running complex setups for years and am perfectly comfortable getting my hands dirty. It's about the time and effort it …

I setup my own mail server last year and shortly gave up on the idea. Setting the server up isn't the problem. The problem is keeping your IP off of all the major blacklists. I was…

"while poverty itself is reduced and work is encouraged" Neither of these things are true with UBI. Not everyone is ambitious or has career goals. Giving out free money will encour…

I honestly don't understand why so many leaders look up to such an evil leader.

"Everyone gets it, the poor, the rich, the middle class, the deserving and the undeserving alike. You, me, Rupert Murdoch, Beyonce, and the homeless man sleeping in the gutter get …

VPN services are terrible because most people using them are downloading torrents/abusing bandwidth limitations.
