Golddiggers are probably the only ones who are influenced by your job title but whatever floats your boat.

How can you declare their lack of interest in investigating - the Medium post is 2 hours old. If you think that its simply a case of not using your old employers code then you're naive (See: The Social Network). FTR: I'm not on ei

Fantastic medical insight.

Good point. Unsure why you've been downvoted for this.

I could be wrong but looks like this doesn't have responsive text alignment? Really miss that on a regular basis with bootstrap.

Yep, that totally makes sense too - however, the two shows I mentioned are quite different from your typical radio show for the following reasons: 1. For the St Vincent Mixtape Delivery Service, Annie Clark takes one story from a collection

Been with Spotify for about 3 years but the radio shows from Josh Homme and St Vincent are a HUGE reason I'll likely switch when the free trial expires.

This used to be such a long list for me. Exploring the world, meeting new people, getting in shape, taking up various different activities. Glad to say I've changed. I've spent the past 7 years doing the startup grind dreaming of

Agreed! But it doesn't work like that. Those with bigger karma scores get a bigger boost for their posts. Their upvotes also count more. Sort of a case of the rich becoming richer.

HN is far from a meritocracy I'm afraid.

I built an app (www.hipsterceo.com) to gain attention - make sure you focus at least 50% of your time on marketing to get your name out there. Don't be afraid to be controversial. My experience with elance/odesk is pretty terrible

Downvoted for a compliment. Way to go HN, way to go.

You still have to loop over your returned records to verify uniqueness so wouldn't this automatically be solved?

Nope, not being intentionally dense - I'm already unintentionally dense without adding to it! - but your comment felt like you were saying that I did those things, when in fact I never have.

because of people like you ^Thats quite an assumption to make, no? For the record, I've never done any of the above.

I also said: No one deserves to be bullied or harassed but consequences need to exist to actions. I meant the outcome from a professional standpoint was fair. I don't believe how her life has been "ruined" as I've expl

if the joke had come out of Louis CK's mouth, its intention would have been obvious. ^Agreed but Louis CK is a world famous comedian. When he speaks I know to take most of what he says in jest. Theres a context I can apply when he sp

I'd like to live to a world where your actions outside of the workplace in a physical or online sense don't affect how you're perceived but it's just not true.

A fair point but comparing the ideal that people should be held responsible for their actions to a bad racist joke intended to highlight that "living in America puts us in a bit of a bubble when it comes to what is going on in the thir

I'm not judging the woman. I'm judging the action she chose to take, in the given context. I'm saying she did something really stupid. I don't know anything else about the woman bar the fact that she seems to have a very

Her explanation does sound like it was crafted by a political PR group - which makes sense considering her profession - but I'm still happy to take her word for it. However, it's pretty easy to see how it could be considered a rac

You're terrified by the idea that someone should be fired for gross unprofessionalism? To repeat: she did not deserve ANY bullying or harassment whatsoever. Did you experience consequences of the stupid actions you've taken?

by gearoidoc 12y ago
A tweet is not part of a private conversation and the user in question should have known that - particularly considering their profession. Twitter & FB aren't the problem. A lack of awareness and judgement is.

by gearoidoc 12y ago
Replace "offend the wrong person" with "do something really f*cking stupid" - which is what she did - and the outcome seems fair. No one deserves to be bullied or harassed but consequences need to exist to actions.

Fair enough. Your contention that no one will look at your product unless its "so much better" than anything else is nonsense. Were that the case then we'd only have one product in each market where, by your definition, the m
