Still reading. On #6, I never got that impression; Lewis refers repeatedly to the digitalisation of the exchanges bringing prices down. e.g.: 75.73%: "A few thought it was important to remember that technology had lowered their trading

It's important to get your facts right before you leap to someone's defense, or castigate others for withholding judgement. If you look at vadsye's link[1] to the Nov 2011 investment announcement, you'll see that Sarveet

So sexism is bad then. I guarantee you this is not something "you can't say", or goes against today's moral fashion.

Your comment is self-contradicting: If there's a "giant" gap between boys who start young and girls or boys who don't, then acknowledging that gap at the application stage is not preferential treatment. Ignoring it becau

I didn't read the original comment as calling out "hackernews hypocrites" but rather the justice system.
