Seems like it can imply violence, but you're right doesn't have to. I feel like calling a boycott bullying is still a strong misrepresentation.

The Republican Senate and House have voted multiple times to repeal the whole of the ACA over the past years. The only thing that has stopped it has been a presidential veto. Here's one: http://www.cnn.com/2016/01&

There is a lot more process around plugin submissions and how they get listed than there used to be. See https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detail...

Doesn't really matter one way or the other. We have hired some great folks in the past who found out about us from HN. Looking forward to seeing your application. Cheers!

I think it may be worse than two tribes. Its a million tribes with limited overlap in what they consider the truth, but all having a large megaphone that cuts across tribal lines while still building bubbles. My analogy is breaking down. I

Like many others I agree with this. My company is completely distributed (we prefer "distributed" over "remote" because we aren't remote from anything) and has employees in 50+ countries. There was a pretty good boo

Rollout to thousands of servers on WordPress.com is typically less than 60 seconds. We optimize for reverting fast. Its just interesting to me the implications of what folks optimize for and that this is considered fast. We have very minima
