And then when you get to the representative, he proceeds to ask you the exact same questions.

I don't know about that. Whenever I've seen "Drumpf" used it seems to be trying to associate Trump with Nazis (because it's German) which is very similar to purposely using "Hussein" (which is Arabic) to a

It's interesting that Russian immigration to the U.S. drastically drops around 1920 which is half way through the Russian Civil War.

Interesting, I didn't know the origins of the words Koran or Dharma. I don't know much about biblical hermeneutics, but wasn't the New Testament written in Greek? Also, based upon Church tradition and history, even if the wor

Sure, naming a cryptocurrency protocol "Bible" would be confusing at first. But if it was meant to be the Bible of protocols or the one protocol to use, I would understand the gist of its name.

In general, no, we don't find it offensive. The word "bible" is simply from the Greek word for book or books.

You'd want to be very careful with that. Shooting a gun in the air isn't the most wise choice. Not to mention that you should expect a law suit. My understanding is the results have been mixed.

I could swear there was an HN post recently to do exactly that.

Pardon me if this is a naïve question. Isn't the point of references that they can be checked and verified? Why would you need to obtain explicit consent to contact the contacts when they've been provided? Isn't the consent i

That's a fair point. I've always heard it in the context of "STEM", but I think it was more referring to the technology area (primarily programmers, etc.). And even then I want to say it was about companies wanting cheap

So like the supposed STEM shortage? Is there really a lack of qualified candidates? Or is there simply a lack of applicants because the pay is too low or the requirements are too stringent?

See the movie Gattaca. It doesn't deal with different species, but is has "valid" (genetically improved humans) and "invalid" (normal humans).

So even those with socialist political views can't have their jokes anymore? This is getting interesting. Look, I'm pro-life and anti-abortion but let the man keep his joke. It's not that big of deal.

If you're a consumer of niche subscriptions, I don't think a dentist appointment every 6 months is going to be a financial burden.

True, but Trump got the votes where they mattered. Since we're categorizing votes, a majority of people didn't vote for president at all (44.37%) when compared to Clinton (28.43%) or Trump (27.20%) [1]. [1]: https://bri

That doesn't help. I'm on it, and I regularly get spam calls that are all conveniently from my area code and a similar exchange code.

Technically, a flat tax by definition is neither regressive nor progressive, it is proportional. Federal income taxes and I presume corporate taxes are currently progressive (with a million and one deductions). Moving to a flat tax for eith

In standard American English, masculine is the default gender when the subject is unknown. So using "him" is proper. Using "them" as a singular pronoun is jarring to the ears.

Do you happen to know if that is the mean or median, or how it skews? I've heard this statistic before and I'm curious about the details.

If a program deliberately excludes one sex, is it not sexist?

That is a deliberate mischaracterization of the OP's comment. It in no way implies that the software is poor because of women. The outreach program is political, and is rather discriminatory and sexist.

To avoid bias? As in to be completely unprepared? Wouldn't reading the résumé give you a better idea of the interviewee's background, and allow you to better assess him?
