Why? Charleston is a social issue. HN serves the technical niche. There is nothing wrong with leaving SJW topics to a more general audience.
Women in tech is social in nature, but it is still relevant to tech due to the platform being discussed. Charleston is completely different: it was a crazy, racist man with a gun.
- onion2k 11y agoEverything is a social issue. Believing that social things are inherently different to tech things is a false dichotomy - especially given the fact that we (startup entrepreneurs) actively seek ways to disrupt business and consequently society. Founders have a duty to think about the way the things they build will change society, and to avoid making it worse. That's fundamentally "social".

- stray 11y ago"Founders have a duty to think about the way the things they build will change society" Fair enough. The primary focus though, is still the things they build. It's always about the things. The things. And how those specific things impact people.
