I feel like the color orange is an excellent differentiator as it's more warm and happy.

It's amazing really. Black women and Asian men pairings are the rarest in all of the U.S. so it's kind of cool this is a thing.

Exactly. It's funny, often on HN I'll see discussions about things or behaviors that push girls away from exploring STEM later in life. Yet, how many times have I seen black women depicted in the media as boorish, unfeminine, anno

Regarding that Slate article: > In a somewhat similar vein, one of OkCupid’s questions reads as follows: “Would you strongly prefer to go out with someone of your own skin color/racial background?” I was struck by the not inconsider

Yup, that's why it majorly sucks balls to be an Asian man in online dating.

I think more importantly, anytime you are on an online discussion board with anonymous members, you're always going to encounter assholes.

Prior to this, I've also seen them take down specific subreddits that linked to CP, so I don't think this purge is that out of the ordinary for them.

How is your battery? I figure at four years it's got to be pretty bad. I have an old iPhone 5 and my biggest blocker is the fact that the battery can only last a few hours at most with minimal usage, which makes it an absolutely pain t

Agreed. Last time I used it over a course of several days, Uber regularly had surge pricing whereas Lyft never charged me extra. On top of that, Lyft drivers were way friendlier.

I just got back from the U.S. Where I was, Uber was constantly jacking up the price with surge pricing, between 1.25x to 1.75x the normal price. Meanwhile, Lyft not only wasn't jacking up the price during those same hours but was runni

Even though 1.75% is only till 2016, it's still pretty good for new small businesses who benefit from the 1.0% difference between that and Square Register.

Compare 1.75% Per Swipe (till 2016) vs. Square's 2.75%. For most small businesses, that's a huge difference.

I love the taste of coffee and tea, both of which have caffeine. Curious, why 10+ minutes of sun at noon?
