Thank you for posting this. It was a very enjoyable read!

I know that statistics can be found that in some way correlate "diversity" with some financial metric or other being better. But that still is not definitive nor does it address th…

Exactly. The greatest problem with this article is its underlying assumption that "diversity" is good by itself and that companies should pursue it. The author makes the point that…

Yes I was.

The title of this article is click-bait and a complete oversimplification. I'm tired of seeing shit like this in HN and can't believe people are upvoting it.

Does anyone know how Coinbase is going to handle this?

I'm wondering what is the revenue of SQLizer?

I don't really understand why anyone would buy this.

Another great essay by Paul Graham that spells out the idiotic state of the current US immigration system in a clear manner. It is fucking unbelievable that even in the comments he…

It's unbelievable that the US government is focusing on providing a legal path to citzenship to ILLEGAL immigrants, while legal immigrants who are highly educated (sometimes at Ivy…

My eyes hurt after looking at your website.

Seriously, why do titles like this make it to the top of HN? Yeah, Lincoln totally outpwned Zuck, because the idea of a place to give updates about your life is so mind-boggling, a…

Then this is an argument for NOT overloading the right-click behavior, not for adding a "No thanks" preference. Then all users who want to right-click have to go through ONE EXTRA …

Why are you going to right click again? Do you want the browser's regular right-click context menu? Okay, that's a valid reason. But then what if you want the popup AGAIN after you…

Why do you need to answer no and right-click otherwise? If you don't want it, you close the dialog; closing it effectively means "No thanks". You're not going to be right-clicking …

Very interesting. I wonder how much power it takes to operate something like this.

Amazing work from the Penn GRASP lab! This is ground breaking!

Matt, What would you suggest I do in this case: I graduated in May 2009 and have been working in the industry for 2 years. I worked with a professor for my senior project. I recent…

This is great
