You mean the Usenet model, which worked for decades and is still working, does, in fact, work? Amazing. Edited to add: OK, that comes off as a bit mean. I'm leaving it in case someone likes it, which really just goes to show my point:

So that's why this transphobic article was on HN to begin with.
93.
by cbd1984 10y ago
Reposted to avoid trolls: Do they accept transwomen? How about people who don't identify as either gender? Do they set themselves up as arbiters of who qualifies as a woman, and, if so, what criteria do they use?

It's understandable that you want sponsored content on HN, but could you at least mark it as such?

"The cynics among us will of course acknowledge that that makes it much easier for Capella/Hackbright to make more money." Especially with people like you spamming for them.

This article is blatantly incorrect.

So accepting blatant advertising is a test for the community? And blatantly incorrect spam at that. Oh, and calling it a derangement syndrome is both denigrating to those of us with real mental problems and a cheap way to duck the charges o

Sadly, CMS is so obscure most people don't even associate it with mainframes anymore.

Plus the fact it's an inherently transphobic and non-binary-phobic institution due to its promotion and inclusion of only those who identify as female. Really, it's just a corrupt organization all around.

by cbd1984 10y ago
Don't forget the transphobia and non-binary-phobia inherent in the fact this is a company exclusively for females, and how that transphobia and non-binary-phobia is being continued here in the form of comments mentioning it being downv

Flagged for being off-topic and insulting.

by cbd1984 10y ago
You could stop insulting users at any time, and not try to bury criticism of the companies we're talking about.
105.
by cbd1984 10y ago
Of course it does. It is specifically for those who identify as female, which is inherently promoting a gender binary. Also: What about them using unpaid volunteers as labor to fund their for-profit enterprise? Is that something you're
106.
by cbd1984 10y ago
It's entirely on-topic, because it's a question all gender-specific groups must be confronted with, and if they refuse to answer, that needs to be an issue.

by cbd1984 10y ago
How about the questions about trans- and non-binary-exclusivity which are being downvoted and ignored? If you can modify threads, can you raise those questions as well? There are serious questions about this business which are being ignored

I'm of the opinion that Gates hasn't really changed, just found a more socially-acceptable way to use his fundamental personality.

Hate speech is one kind of free speech, and be very suspicious of anyone who tries to tell you otherwise: They mean to suppress dissent.

Law or strong corporate policy tantamount to a law. They're too small a market otherwise.

Obviously incorrect, and I struggle to see why you'd even say it. Everyone knows this is wrong.

Yeah, the more I look at their rounding the less sense it makes. OK, 39°50′N goes to 39.8333333. 50/60 is approximately 0.8333. Fine. But, 98°35′W should be -98.5833333, by the same rule they apparently just used, not 98.585522. And I
