> It isn't sexist to acknowledge differences in the genders. You know that is emphatically not the kind of statement that people were concerned with when they were talking about Trump's sexism.

Yeah, it's subtle, but there is a definite hum of anti-semitism going on in the background of Trump's inner political circle. First there was that poster with a six-pointed "sheriff" star on a pile of money, which (to me

Asking people to say clearly and concretely what they mean is not obtuseness. Nobody here has been able to elaborate on the initial statement "The efficiency gain vs learning curve is exponential". People are just rewording the se

Looks like a nice .tmux.conf. Wonder if it's online anywhere.

You're just rephrasing nonsense. What is "the efficiency gain is exponential" supposed to mean, in concrete terms? This is just empty manager-speak.

Why is this comment greyed out? The NYT shilled hard for the Iraq war. They even issued an apology because of it (too little too late, of course).

Weird. The one comment suggesting that some participants probably see this as a feature is heavily downvoted, but the comments saying that this is shocking and awful are upvoted. I had no idea HN was so pro-birth.

Then, of course, there's the user-side meaning of "JavaScript fatigue", which is "so many modern websites are bloated with unnecessary JS that I've resorted to blocking JS by default."
