   This stance is so ridiculous on it's face that I'm more likely to believe that you're Brian Armstrong than someone else.

   If you want my instant feedback, while I understand that you're not getting the quantity of interviews you'd like, I'd caution you against thinking of Coinbase as a "hot" company. That designation would have been tr

   In case it is not commonly known, Collaborative Fund is widely held to be the VC firm in question that was roasted in the now-viral note from Ryan Caldbeck of CircleUp.

   Ironically, I'll bet most people think they can assume what your politics are just based on this post alone.

   They’re not employees, they’re often contractors. I think that’s the point.

   Will be fine, future tense. The future tense being “fine” does not mean that intolerable incompetence didn’t already occur.

   Some of the sociopaths in the comment section (on the article, not here) are truly mind-blowing. It is scary to be confronted with the fact that not only are those people out there, but they are likely more numerous than you think.

   Very interestingly, the PDF distributed by Collier County lists an alias of "Ben Bilemy". That simply cannot be just a coincidence.

   OK. New guess: you didn't understand it, or willingly choose not to understand it, because you've already made up your mind.

    I honestly can't tell if it's that, or the people commenting on HN on this topic are sociopaths who are unfazed at the prospect of hundreds of thousands of unnecessary, needless deaths in the pursuit of potentially being right.

    Not an expert by any means, but on a quick Google, it appears that the most aggressive estimate of how many people have gotten the virus is 10%[0]. Herd immunity requires a much, much higher number than that -- especially if we want our liv

    The amount of commenters on here that are hating on it without actually reading out what they're doing or understanding their business plan leads me to believe that they're going to be very successful.

    Absolutely. The marketing, the irreverence, even the way they announced "SE-GAAA!" all made (for me) the Genesis supremely cool, and the Nintendo supremely lame.

    "Sonic" was the first holy-shit game for me. (I'm 38.) It blew away any console game I had seen to date. It was truly amazing: the speed, the irreverence, the colors, the music. Genesis spoke to me as a gamer in a way that NE

    Let's say in your heart of hearts that you earnestly thought that, for whatever reason, women couldn't be effective software engineers. If you said that in public, you should be fired because it would immediately call into quest

    Remember when Horowitz gave this company $10 million just because he liked rap music? Good times.

    The reason (basically) is because Republicans in the states trend older and by extension, less technically savvy. Since content that both incites strong emotion and allows that person to represent themselves a certain way tends to be the mo

    I can't believe there's an actually a debate at all about what's going on here. There are multiple sources indicating that conservative sites work in concert to amplify, at best, specious content and at worst, complete misinf

    Yes. First, so that it can be privatized and turned over to the free market, for which I will offer no opinion. That can be argued effectively to no real end on both sides, similar to a discussion about Amtrak or farming subsidies. Second,

    I mean, I think the personal sharing of any story implies that someone else's views or experiences may vary, no? The fact that it concerned you to the extent that you called it out is certainly notable. Other people may have had differ

    As someone who worked in defense consulting/IT contracting many moons ago, let me clue you in on a simple fact: there is an INSANE amount of money wasted on these contracts. The project that we were working on was projected to maybe

    This is an election year. Lots and lots of money will be spent on Facebook ads. Simple as that. (To be clear, it’s also true that Zuck is a disingenuous, unethical charlatan who is probably also listening to that vampiric hypocrite Thiel wa

    This view to me is just as tone deaf at Damore's piece itself. Whether or not you agree or disagree, it clearly had an impact of making a very large and significant segment of female employees at Google feel as if they were biologicall
