I get that what you're saying is tongue-in-cheek, but yes, when you're usually trying to persuade anyone --person, organization, business, etc., having a grasp in the local language is almost always a requirement.
In this particular example, however, those points are completely irrelevant as he just used his app to show off Instacart's delivery feature.
- sneak 10y agoWhat I was saying (on International Women's Day) is that many opportunities are still afforded to people based on group identity that are denied to others, and that "all problems" can be solved trivially... for some people because of their inborn traits. It was a rejection of the "all problems can be overcome with sufficient gumption" theme of this thread. Beer, Maleness, being physically present in the USA, English - all of these are group signifiers. It saddens me to see HN users rejecting this on a day designed to highlight this inequality.
