At the same time, in order to support Trump, you have to feel that xenophobia, sexual assault, bigotry, and mocking of the disabled are perfectly acceptable in a world leader. So t…

No, the reason it's laughable is that the ones expected to bridge this divide are the ones who believe in rights and human dignity for everyone, not the ones who believe that other…

It's also a heavily moderated forum. Let's see what the response to the article is on Reddit or one of the Chans.

Wrong. Most internet forums are privately owned, and thus the concept doesn't apply. Plus, trolling and harassment isn't free speech. Conflating the two is insulting to those who a…

"What if most of them aren't "trolls" at all, but rather people who have something to say that is important to them and they choose a method to say it that upsets some people?" If …

For something like /r/the_donald, you're right. But for something more general, like general Twitter, you're not.

Wrong. There's little tolerance for bigotry. There's nothing wrong with that. Having the opinion that a class of people do not deserve the same rights as others is not "diversity" …

No. I am rejecting your reply. Go back and look at what happened to Leslie Jones, then try again. This is not simply "Leslie Jones Sucks".

I'm sorry, but this "ignore the trolls" meme has been proven wrong time and again these past few years. It's not a solution.

That's what they're trying to do. But I'm getting really, really, really tired of people conflating the "other side" stuff with the trolling stuff. Look at all the stuff sent to Le…

How are they going to hire you if they don't know you exist?

A large part of getting the MBA is the piece of paper saying you have one, and another large part of it is the network you form while getting it. Things you can't really get online…

So basically a bunch of classist bullshit.

The level of critical thinking missing in order to make a comment like that... Wasting $100 Million on a 1% chance to disrupt an industry that is not ripe for disruption, and has b…

Only if they weren't white (See: Oregon Federal Wildlife Refuge office occupation).

Yeah, no. That's not a slippery slope. That you just being obstinate.

People say that, but it doesn't always work that way. I've had potential employers say they won't proceed without that number, and that they would verify it. I, fortunately, was in…

Except that equity is worth nowhere near the equity that VCs get, and in the majority of cases does not represent a reasonable return over the opportunity cost of taking the higher…

Does it? That person is going to have the anchor of that 60k follow them around. When they move on from the startup, most likely their new company is going to base the offer around…

Maybe, but how many of those high-performance employees are already making buttloads of money? How many of them are just scraping by around the poverty line? It's pretty easy to sa…

Wrong. This argument is intellectually lazy, and serves only to let you feel smugly superior to others. I suggest that such comments be flagged in the future.

It is fact. Feel free to disprove it if you can.

Why should VCs get a 30-50% return on what they put in, but engineers don't get a 30-50% return on the salary they sacrificed to actually do the damn work of the startup?

Then don't be surprised if they storm your house and take your stuff.

Not necessarily, but I'm against people not being able to feed their families more.
