> Can Kickstarter be used to solicit investment or loans? > Nope. Kickstarter is a new form of commerce and patronage, not a place for investment or lending. You’ll never give up ownership or pay back any funds raised on Kickstarter

Kickstarter projects are not allowed to be turned into for-profit companies, even though KS themselves broke their own rules in this by turning a blind eye for Penny Arcade. If they want to turn Ghost into a for-profit company and not a non

Totally agree. That said, it's a sad irony that this debate will probably resurface with the next incident within a month, much like the frequency of mass-shootings in the USA.

Wow, you give tech a bad name both by your massively offensive accusation, as well as your completely wrong use of the word "terrorist" thereby reducing its significance. The thing showing a sad state of affairs here is you.

The problems with your comment are numerous. I'll list them off in order of sentence number: 1: Strawman; assumption of binary plus suggesting Adria's post is asking for an extreme solution ("100%"), rather than being aware of context and b

I think you're completely missing the point of the article, which is saying (as I've been trying to explain here as well) that the silence, or inaction, still has a negative effect. It still causes harm. It's completely irrelevant whether y

You mean “How is silence an action rather than a non-action?”? Which I already answered before you even asked it? When people ask you for help and you don't give it, that inaction is telling these people you won't give them help. Inaction c

This is a deflection fallacy. For one, I do speak out about other problems (and frequently, too), but when it comes to addressing the bigger problems, you should focus on the ones you can be most effective in. Speaking out against sexism is

When people tell you they are in need of help, doing nothing is the action of not giving help. There's no bullying or anything like that going on, here, and you're being disingenuous by presenting it as such (and also, you're being an assho

I find it interesting you criticize Reddit for things that Hacker News is just as guilty of. The lack of decent moderation and peer-policing here has given rise to things like ShitHNSays (now defunct) and lots of sexist crap being spouted a

Silence is not a non-contribution. You're not getting it, but then, you already told us you don't wish to spend even a second learning more about this issue, so I guess this won't help you either: http://tommorris.org/posts/8084

Well, thanks for admitting your complete and utter ignorance on this matter, expressing your refusal to educate yourself, and portraying your inflated sense of self-importance to spend time telling us all this. You've contributed nothing he

I find it funny you call that a “leftist notion” when it was the conservative right wing in the US that most recently used that as their narrative for years.

You (and, especially, the women you’ve worked with) are either very fortunate, or you’re not talking to women enough for them to reveal to you what they’re experiencing. I’ve worked in several different countries, various different cultures

That’s the point of the article though: you don’t need to be an activist, but silence itself is a negative contribution. Simply the act of tweeting links to such articles and saying you agree with it, is enough to let people know you’ve got

You’re basing your whole attack on the author on having your feelings hurt because you, too, are a man in marketing, just like the people responsible for the awful sexism displayed. Some women are sexist towards women, yes. But the idea tha
