Awesome project. I think it is pretty imaginative. What about the idea that sending a bunch of rocket payloads up there would add to the space debris already up there though?

Yeah I saw the pastebin dump. I was more asking specifically how does such a large amount of person information be dumped like that.

Where did all that personal info on the kid come from?

Interesting article. For info on the infantry units primary weapon I recommend The Gun by C. J. Chivers. It bills itself as a history of the AK-47 pattern rifle but it also covers early Soviet weapons such as the Mosin family of rifles.

Not to sound pejorative, but couldn't this very easily facilitate money laundering? I thought that was already a problem with gift cards but I'm not very knowledgeable.

Great response and something I've been thinking a lot about recently. It is also the best argument for diversity in tech you can make because different people come with different experiences. I would love if someone could better link j

I'm sure everything is "about feminism" to you. It must be so oppressive.

HN is above criticism now? > meta-discussion about HN which is unhelpful. Why is this unhelpful? Why isn't discussing sexism and bigotry on HN important?

It is extremely common for companies and organizations to bail on relationships with people and other companies when there is even just the suggestion of a controversial issue. To act like this behavior is somehow exclusive to "radical

Github as a corporate entity and Github as a cultural place to work are different things. You can still have misogyny in your organization while the company promotes the opposite.

> The critique of startup culture that came in large part from the agile movement has been replaced by sanitized, pompous, dishonest slogans. You and that article nailed it for me.

Just because you were offended doesn't mean the criticism isn't on point. Nice dig at all of feminism though, again implying the small issues aren't important.

I'm not trying to control what you say. I am critiquing what you said. I also didn't assume you had a hidden agenda. Again I just pointed out that your response is a common trope used to discredit people's opinions. > Some

So instead of seeing it as personally disinteresting and moving on you painted the issue as not interesting, or not worth talking about, which is an age old silencing tactic[1], and add no critical points of your own. [1] http://g

Pretty terrible situation. As an aside, the link about what happened to Zoe Quinn when she submitted her game, Depression Quest, to Steam Greenlight, is something I had not heard before. I was blown away by her deceptively simple RPG and

That is a really good point and something I hadn't really considered. I could also see a lot of my feelings of empathy being instead turned into anger if things had been different so I might have generalized a personal experience.

I think one of the benefits of mental illness is it makes a person incredibly empathetic and in tune with other people's pain. Being in such a dark place and succeeding in getting into the light makes you want to save everyone from eve
