This mom previously tried to raise $20k to make...capes. How much of this $20k+ do you think the 9 yr. old is getting? She's also spamming celebs and women's groups on twitter - http://i.imgur.com/b4l2fI2.png . I'd be happy to back a child

Brilliant way to capitalize on recent news by this mom. Smart lady. Her daughter will be thrilled when she finds out enough money was raised for her to attend the camp. As for the rest of the money...

Lack of progressive thought on diversity? If you want an argument about dongle jokes creating an unwelcoming environment look elsewhere. The most sensitive among us don't set the rules. https://amandablumwords.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/3/

Maybe the part you're missing is that the jokes aren't the unusual part. Just run of the mill banter between a couple guys when maybe they should have been quiet so they weren't distracting people from listening. Tweeting a photo to shame p

"Right now it's been a week and I'm still working out the best course of action." You said it was a flippant comment that was borderline sexist...How about just move on with your life? As a guy, if someone makes a comment that identifies th

"We have two sexist/innapropriate developers;" Making a sexual joke is not the same thing as making a sexist joke.

This is really the best thing for her even if it doesn't seem like it now. She can focus on the issues she cares about and get better at promoting those.

No I don't think she was trying to get anyone fired and did not mean to imply that. She just decided to create a mess and try to turn this into something about sexism. I can't know her intentions but my guess is that her passion for this is

It's pretty obvious - she was able to get a guy fired for making a Jr. High joke to his friend (sexual joke, not sexist) and stir up a hornets nest with a simple tweet.

"Has she expressed any glee over these firings?" No, but she did compare herself to Joan of Arc and say that she stepped up when the future of women in tech was on the line. A tad bit dramatic.

"What exactly are you asking us to infer here?" That in this situation she's playing a victim when she's actually the one with the power. Granted, old tweet.

For those keeping score, this is also OK: @adriarichards Black people CANNOT be racist against White people. Racism is a position of the oppressor who has the power - http://i.imgur.com/ou8JZVu.jpg

Saw this mentioned in another thread and it's a great point. SendGrid is going to back her 100%. They now realize, if they didn't before, that they have a risky employee on their hands - the type that would sue them and make a huge public s

In other news, productivity begins to pick back up at Playhaven as employees are just about finished scrubbing their social media accounts. Rest assured, all references to forking repo's, dongles and other "gender equality" issues have been

Sorry for the confusion but was just answering your question, not talking about myself. I don't wear any uniforms. Interesting view though, considering we're talking about primary through high school students. Not sure how many children hav

The simplest way I can explain this to you is that for various reasons some people enjoy conforming, others don't. And, this case highlights different things about the "real world" to different people.

You're polluting the discussion with all these hypotheticals. Stick to what actually happened.

Glad the guy who didn't smile & didn't respond cheerfully (but actually went and found the answer!) didn't have to hear this speech in person. Twenty seconds without a beaming smile at the auto parts store (not exactly a place I'd expec

This is a bit different - kickstarter style funding for existing open source projects. Developers remain 100% in control and put features up for funding. https://www.catincan.com

Article states it was a small lot with only 100 total spaces. Not exactly a mall parking lot.

Right - they are referencing Finder which makes me think of the Mac OS. But then showing all the other services on their site makes me think this is something closer to what was Greplin (now CueUp).

A few comments are making an issue of the pricing (2% + Stripe's 2.9%) saying it's too high. It's not too high. If the product does it's job and makes it dead simple for the end user it might even be too low. As mentioned by someone else, t

Because it's not about the forum, be it a TED talk, Reddit or a campaign speech. It's about voters and winning.

What an amazing GIF. They way the colors work out it reminds me of a fire that smoldered for awhile and then woke up in late 2008.

I've wondered about this too. The conspiracy theorist in me came up with some silly ideas. But, in reality my guess is that people associated with YC (alumni, friends, YC co. employees, investors, etc.) vote up posts about launches as part

Good point - I was equating the rarity of the action w/ it being a genuine demonstration. The demonstration of showing such commitment by going "all in", at least in poker, isn't really meaningful. It's a function of math and happens all th

Early in my career (mid 20s) I was the type to try to beat down prices no matter what. I worked for a small company and the dollars certainly meant more to us than to a $15B market cap corp. But, in reality, I was just looking for something

I read it just as a sort of throw away line in the article. But you're right, going all in isn't rare. In tournament play when your stack size is below certain thresholds & you're in certain positions relative to the blinds [1] going al

You must not be aware of the new rules here. At least 1 post from the Svbtle network must make it to the top of HN per week. That said, I enjoyed the post. It highlights something I missed out on growing up and serves as a reminder for me t
