I think that was a terrible choice, which I believe reflects some of the naivete which informs several aspects of how he has handled this overall situation. Guilt by association is an irrational and awful way to defame someone, and he leave

I agree with everything you are saying. It does not look like Google's management reacted fairly, nor rationally. I believe it is vital to the health of our society, our culture, for us to look carefully at why one of the worlds most

> Many employees felt intimidated and that they now had to prove in a work setting that they are not "more neurotic on average than men". Since we can't read minds, we don't know how they felt. We only know that they

Jordan Peterson is great. He's a thoughtful, honest person who is delightfully transparent in his efforts to make sense of the universe. He publicly spoke up in support of free speech, and therefore become a target to be intimidated a

In retrospect, it almost seems like they were fishing for people who have 'unsavory opinions' so they can force them to attend diversity training (even the name is Orwellian) and fire them if it doesn't work out.

Your statement would be more fair and accurate with qualification, such as "some parts of the left". For example, would you agree that classical liberals are still on the left?

> But they won't change their position. If anything, their position will be radicalized. For example, from classical liberal to alt-right. You make an excellent point. I am a lifelong feminist, anti-racist, pro-LBTQ atheist who pas

"using a newly created account means you aren't." This is wrong. Using a newly created account does not mean the communicator is approaching this in bad faith. That's a complete non sequitor. "lack of subsequent e

That's wonderful that you are open to feedback from geeks with fringe interests. If I were in charge of this project, I would strive for simplicity and for appeal to the widest audience, and not indulge the geeks, students, professiona

As a fan of tmux and xmonad, I was hopeful that tilix might combine the best of both worlds into one tool. After reading your comment, I get the impression that this is not the case.

I agree with the idea of feedback on how far you've progressed - though a linear graphic might not be possible. I assume we are navigating a tree whose depth varies greatly with your answers. After a particular selection you might have

Are you saying that the investors would get a better return on their investment if they had instead simply purchased bitcoins? That claim seems to require the ability to know the future. Bitcoin may eventually be superseded by a superior al

He is clearly being aggressively demonized by some, at least internally. Even Sundar's statement using the word 'neurotic' reads like an attempt to smear him. James Damore referred to neuroticism in the personality metric se

It's pretty clear from the totality of this person's comments that they are here to obfuscate and troll. Not sure why this is allowed on HN.

No. Assuming someone is posting in bad faith for this reason is an act of bad faith. Your statement reveals hypocrisy.

It seems to me that Jordan Peterson [0] is an interesting, thoughtful person who is very transparent about his personal journal to find meaning and understand... well, existence for lack of a better word. I highly recommend his podcasts.
