Apart from JK Rowling, I have also enjoyed reading Patricia Highsmith and Fred Vargas (she is a woman, despite of the name). Haven't read Rand yet. I also remember that I liked Earthsea, but don't remember the details. I think man

Turns out to be mainly a complaint about many book lists not containing enough female authors. Unfortunately the alternative "best books by women" list is presented in a way that doesn't really makes me want to read those boo

Why did gnu social fail? What happened to diaspora? I think what blogs were missing where the social network. They had the blogroll, but it wasn't enough. Tumblr almost got it right, but somewhere along the way they seem to have messed

So that is why everybody wants more women in tech. They are nice and beneficial to spouse with.

It's really a problem with Google offering more and more services. On the one hand it is nice and convenient, but every additional service increased the risk of everything being lost because of some silly mistake.

Good point with the warning signs. I think Hitler was always driven by hate and given to hateful speeches and writing, including his infamous book. He and Stalin also emerged from turmoil of WW I, bloody revolutions, socialism (nazis are so

I would say the main characteristic is the murdering of people who oppose the fascist government. All the rest is just wishywashy blah blah. Oh, and watchdogs on every corner, prepared to punish you if you step out of line. Honestly, I wish

At face value feminism sounds good - who would be against equality, indeed. Except that feminism is more than that: it is the claim that women are disadvantaged and equality means merely that women's situation has to be improved. Of co

The common argument seems to be that men got to vote because they also were the ones who had to go to war (which would be started by the elected government). While you don't have to accept the argument (and in fact history has rejected

Well you believe the premise of the ideology, so you are a part of it. Unsurprising that you think it is useful, that is what it claims.

No, other articles are also being repostet, I think HN guidelines officially support that.

Huh, billions of dollars are spent on misguided feminist support programs. These are choices that matter.

How is that clickbait? You mean just the title?

It's because feminism is a self-serving ideology. They are not trying to clarify or resolve anything, they are trying to turn more people into believers of the ideology. And it won't change, because feminism itself is an expressio

I think they only bought it for the patents while they were involved in patent fights with Apple? They kept the patents and sold off the rest.

I've often thought about that, too, but it seems unaffordable. The pay for baristas seems too low to sustain family life. Am I wrong?

The game industry urgently needs to find out how to satisfy the taste of art historians who like feminist art. Maybe a first person shooter where you play a vagina that shoots with tampons? That said, while I love game, only very few games

Just because the average has improved, doesn't mean there can't still be people with serious problems.

Studies have shown that perception of attractiveness changes when people get to know each other better (they rate each other more attractive). Most men are ugly anyway - and women see it as such, too. Their perception of male attractiveness

What is she doing instead now?

But what else are the men going to do? Women can opt out - men can't.

If interviewing was the problem, it would imply that there are a lot of unemployed female developers (thousands and thousands - if they all were hired, we would expect a huge increase in percentage of female devs, so the number of unemploye

I am not morally opposed to brothels, but it doesn't appeal to me personally. Not yet, anyway - maybe the more older and disgusting I get, the more I will consider the option out of desperation (I hope not).

I think it is unlikely that an organization would change for you (or anyone), so there is not much to regret. I guess one could try to create one's dream job within one company, but it would be a long and ongoing fight, not just a matt

That is what everybody says, but realistically, to get a young woman to have kids with you at old age, you need to be quite successful financially. Maybe some young women prefer older guys, but I suspect in general they are not that keen.

While I also think that humans are probably not built for monogamy, I'm not sure if it would really help much. We also have small children, so there is not much time to meet other people. And there is the issue of physical attractivene

50 years from now AIs will extract history from your HN comments. Maybe some people/AIs will write PhDs about HN comments. You are representing mankind :-)
