Sexist? No. Where I see the largest issue is in using sex appeal to sell nudes on Patreon using twitch as an advertising platform. Given the number of minors on twitch and the demographics, I personally see this as exploitive. This extends

Meanwhile, ICE is getting involved in BTC. Timing isn't at all suspicious there. Nope.

This right here is why I personally think that an open forum is the best way. Some people think war isn't murder, some do. Sadly, it just ends up being another 'edge case' in this context. At the end of the day, for people to

The issue with this viewpoint is that you're correct - but not accounting for all the areas where other humans will hold a similar opinion about a less clear-cut issue. Abortion, 2A, etc. I want anyone who talks openly about wanting to

If you are struggling enough to go through the effort to try and scam the government for a small portion of free rice then I think it's obvious they value the item. Not caring about the edge cases is almost certainly the correct choice

I'm with you, but it does seem like he's referring to "Lord of War" more than "Gun Shop Owner." The guy selling RPGs to known criminals isn't the same as the guy who sells me my AR15s

I don't think it's likely that all the folks in Vermont are racist or that the system of governance there is supremely racist - yet Vermont has an absolutely tiny percentage of non-white folks (3.1%) Less than 15% of the U.S. is A

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I can say I prefer teams to slack. The real-world use of both leads me to see little to no difference in my day to day use. But one has the advantage of being tied natively tied to my entire sof

Maybe it's just me, but the 2nd Amendment talk in this case really seems like a hamfisted way to spout political opinion that's in no way relevant. >All well intentioned gun enthusiasts should support it. Really black/whit

I find the use of "Orwellian" rather ironic in this context. I run a company based in the UK, but I myself am American and most of my business experience is in the US. Despite that, I honestly have had no issues adapting to the GD

I'm about as neutral as it gets when it comes to this guy, but I've seen a ton of these claims and decided to watch his stuff for myself and honestly - No, he's not some anti-female alt-right leader. He spends more time than

I fail to see how market failures are not a reasonable point to look at whether governmental solutions are applicable. Case and point - 2008 Market Crash, everyone agrees the dishonest practices that led to the crash should have been made a

I think you've hit the nail on the head regarding the bias of this particular forum. As a group, it seems obvious that HN would be less risk-sensitive than the average. For the sake of the topic however, I'd say that in this case

I'm not even sure 99% would be enough for my tastes. Imagine an important date (anniversary or similar) with your S.O. If there was even a 1% chance that didn't happen because I was too lazy to call I'd certainly be hesitant

I have seen this narrative parrotted quite frequently, but it's false. GDPR isn't as crushing as people currently feel it is, but it will force companies to adopt better policies to avoid problems. Startups right now are best posi
