Hey social networking for business is no joke! I have precious amount of quota for socialising ... and spending a lot of it on HN, oh dear things are going well D:

Absolutely. Sometimes I wonder the same thing, perhaps current schemes and policies (not all?) result in more dissent between the gender groups.

Treat everyone equally, yes. But in male-dominated areas such as engineering, the default culture tends to be male-oriented too. For example, bro culture. Not all females can navigate through this easily. Few girls choose the engineering

I think that most of us find it unpleasant that humans can be "breeded" to become better. Though we fight all the time about our differences, the sheer diversity around you is a wonder to behold. That it happened naturally and y

The question is do you want to survive or do you want to be more super . IMO the gene-editing/eugenics topic falls under the latter. No one is saying that curing diseases is bad. But the fact is our lives will always be blighted with

Let's not pretend ... if babies can be artificially created, why not tweak its genes a little bit? It's harmless right; what's wrong with going for brown hair, green eyes? What's wrong with cutting the risk of getting

If I know what I'm doing? Hmm, I like to think that I can by paying close attention to the problem itself. Every organisation is unique, and though their problem sounds general and well-defined, it usually isn't. So as part of s

Yeah parent comment's tone is a bit too judgmental - if self-marketing is the real problem, then can I add that having a nice portfolio website is always super helpful. Even if you can't "show" your code stuff, at the ve

Oh goodness, I'm glad someone found this intriguing, I think I came across as a bit self-promotional before :o It was mainly accidental that I got into digital learning. I was pretty traumatised from my degree, even today I still feel

Most people who say "We need to.." are also users who are very well aware of the problem, but may not be able to solve it themselves, or don't know what the solution looks like, or like a PG essay just inviting action. But by

If what is holding you back is fear, then perhaps I can make a recommendation to break it. Start with meeting like-minded people! Whether it's volunteering, meetup groups or tech events ... just pick one. While it sounds nerve-wrecking

We've just become very passive. No one makes a noise about being the most CCTV-ed nation in the world. Even when the leaks about the true nature of GCHQ surveillance came out, there wasn't much rage in the streets. I guess we are

I also feel that Google search results have become spammy lately. For technical topics, or opinions on a social topic, HN's search box can yield some gold mines. What struck me the most from the essay is the section regarding universit
