"Lack of diversity in the tech industry truly saddens me." Eh. I work in tech in the Bay Area, alongside people from Europe, Asia, South America, and North America. I would say the amount of diversity is far more than what I see w

I for one am glad that someone is trying to cater to this market instead of the couple master race. Single people have to eat too.

Which is great to me. I think there is a time and place for sites that are inspirational in creativity and those that focus on functionality.

Snarky comment aside, we've used them for many months and have had a fantastic experience on it. Great for collaboration is significantly better than Google docs/e-mails.

AFAIK, there's a growing trend of children being born out of wedlock at least based on studies I've seen on Pew Social Trends.

Too bad they didn't include Asian Americans in the survey. Much disappointment. Census data from Pew shows a lot of interesting differences between Asians relative to other races in America. Anyways, interesting to note that women of a

I use mediacrush all the time on /r/hockey. Didn't know that the Reddit admins didn't like it.

At this point, I can't even read food reviews on Yelp without wondering if there are negative reviews missing. I just end up opting browsing photos for a truer experience.

Not the OP, but in this context, I think Asian men are meant to feel privileged by virtue of being a) male and b) heavily represented in the tech scene. And yet at the end of the day, Asian men suffer from racial disadvantages that may neve

Strange, I feel like I have to prove myself more because I'm an Asian man. Western society doesn't look fondly on Asian men's looks and so literally the only thing I have going for me are my accomplishments and skills. Yes, s

Why do people even need to use Start button? I use Alfred on my Mac and it's significantly faster to type the name of the application instead of navigating the Start Menu. Granted, I haven't used Windows since XP.

It's almost like people need to give decisions some time in order to actually see the results instead of jumping to the conclusion that it'll be a failure.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people (including myself) just need the feed. I personally preferred the clean approach because outside of Events, I never need the left navigation. Now it obnoxiously takes up a segment of the page

There can be a difference between good design that users prefer vs. good design that aligns with business goals.

Not to mention his last paragraph: "Sometimes it really is over, and I believe that one of the clearest signs is when you are completely out of cash. But right up until that point, when the music is still playing, when your team is st

There are groups that cater to teaching women and girls how to code, with the strict exclusion of men despite women continuing to outpace men in college enrollment ( http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/files/2011/08&#x2F

FWIW, living in SF, I've met more Asian female founders (including those who went through YC) than male black founders (one maybe?).

"...it just so happens that the best people are overwhelmingly white and male." So then why not also include some initiatives to encourage more Asian, Hispanic, and Black men?

Parents: Upper-class Neighbours: Upper-class That being said, I went to a no-name high school and no-name college. I worked my way into startups through connections in college and living abroad.

As an Asian American male, I've seen a great mixture of white and Asian men in tech companies in Silicon Valley. I've never worked in a frat house type startup, but rather ones with a great mixture of high end talent. So I concede

Exactly. I don't have HBO so I don't watch Game of Thrones. It's not like my life suffers immensely because I can't consume it. There are plenty of other forms of culture and entertainment in the world that I use to occu
