If you look at the stats of immigrants in the U.S. other groups aren't having as many babies like they used to. Look up birth rate by minorities on Pew Social Trends.

I always find it strange how we make it seem like mate criteria is sacrosanct and beyond critique. I get that norms are strong. But in tech, we are constantly asked to question norms all the time and at times, deliberately counterbalance th

As mentioned in the article and countless times on HN: Many people in Silicon Valley are biased against Lyft because they think that ride-sharing will be a winner-takes-all market. They are probably wrong. Once a ride-sharing company gets

In 2006, if you were to make the prediction that Nokia, a company generating 41B in global sales, would be gone in a decade, you'd be downvoted to oblivion.

You nailed it. Chronic pain can be really, really, debilitating. Think about what you are going to do in a few hours. Maybe you'll hop on public transit to meetup with someone. Or maybe bike somewhere. Or take a shower. Or make a sandw

Generally I think OSX looks great but the icons (Safari, FaceTime, Photos) look woefully under-designed, especially compared to the other software installed on my computer.

Yup. Just sit at a cafe and note every couple you see and count how many women are taller than their male counterpart. I'd be willing to bet you that if I did in my area, I'd find 0. In fact, in all my years of living and travelin

I just find it odd that so many people on HN give Mayer a pass for failing to turn it around because no one could turn it around. I suggest reading the various articles that were written about her in 2015. From what I've read of her te

Exactly. As a counterpoint, I know many people who are against Hillary's voting records, flip-floppy history, and aggressive foreign policy doctrine, yet are going to vote for her because well... they'd rather have her than Trump

I think it depends on the state of knowledge. The tech industry is well aware of the gender/ethnicity distribution. And quite frankly, at least companies, community groups, and profound leaders have progressively been doing something a

The article implies that people of low-income backgrounds are vulnerable to obesity. It wouldn't surprise me given that it's a lot cheaper to fill yourself up with soft drinks and carbs like bread/pasta/rice than it is t

Re 1: It's funny to hear Asian women gripe about white guys liking Asian women, when it's really the other way around. If you look at online dating stats, like eHarmony, OkCupid, and CoffeeMeetsBagel, white men generally respond t

A few weeks ago, when I was struggling with focusing, HNers had a lot of advice which I tried to take, including to try out the pomodoro technique (set a timer for a task, give yourself a break at the end of it). Others also suggested setti
