The NFL has already been politicized. It has mostly tilted right wing. The rah rah pro military stance after 9/11 (which I overall agree with) that still continues now. The Breast cancer awareness ribbons. The debate over the Washingto

I don't get why people are up in arms in here. It's YC prerogative to keep working with Thiel, it's project Include prerogative to cut them off because of it. I always believe in voting with your dollar. If something bothers

I totally agree. I thought it was because I bought the Nexus 6P but no. It seems that on most devices I tried Google's voice recognition has gotten a lot better.

I work at place that deals with leads and the sales people almost sit right next to us. And they definitely get into the names big time like the post said. Talking about sports, from what I hear, they don't usually direct the conversat

A good thing to look at right now is the "Asian Contagion" in 1997. While we have different spark there is a good chance that the pattern could be similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1997_Asian_financial_cr

I wonder where this puts the robot stuff that Google was doing? I assume it will be under Alphabet as well as Nest.

We have done this to celebrities for decades with the caveat that they asked for this life when they decided to become a celebrity. Now with social media we all get a chance to make ourselves mini celebrities and there is a price to be paid

Not liking sports doesn't make you a snob or elitist. Its when a percentage of people who don't like sports put down people who do that these words come into play.

This article is right. A big appeal of sports is the camaraderie. As long as you don't take it too seriously its just all in fun. I follow a lot of people in tech on social media (mainly twitter) and while 90% its interesting and insig

I found it interesting that the story omitted the name of the person Kermit Washington punched and got suspended for. It was Rudy Tomjanovich. He went on to have a hall of fame coaching career. It was probably on purpose so that the main pu

I had to read this part of the article twice because I thought I couldn't be reading that right. I finally understand what he means but if taking what written at face value then he is horribly wrong.

I am used to seeing HN crap on Beats headphones. Even though they're great for playing the target demographics favorite music hip hop and bass heavy pop, fine if you don't like the product then you don't like the product. But

I agree with you. Most people who own a business wouldn't call themselves an entrepreneur as a label. But they are entrepreneurs and would consider themselves one. I could be wrong but what I got from the article is that he wouldn&#x27

Soros profited off of a screw up by the British government. And not just one screw up, many if you look at the full history of what happened. I think the British government screwed their people way more than Soros did.

Really weird to see the intersection of hip hop and tech on HN so much this week. I love it. I understand why Beats are popular. They sound great with bass driven music. Its like when people put Bazooka sub woofers in their cars in the 90s.
