Craigslist still has sex ads, usually veiled in euphemism (roses instead of dollars), but yes, this is the argument that Craigslist raised. There are plenty of other sites though.

Certainly HN who's hiring threads are going to be weighted towards startups and smaller companies, and especially web and mobile companies, with less emphasis on hardware. That said, it does occur to me that android allows you to write

Dude, you sound like you are just depressed. You can't read that much into things. We are surrounded by signals telling us how awesome other people are, because they show us what they are proud of, and only the coolest of that really

I'm upvoting this because the article is interesting, but the title is a bit off. The given title (which is the title of the blog post) is somewhat misleading. The person knew basic CS and had had two semesters in college of it, but f

Is it weird that this would make me feel ever so slightly better that my info got hacked? I mean, I'm not a government worker or contractor. Even if I was, my password is randomly generated and not used elsewhere. If it wasn't f

Hey Joel, This has multiple columns that are taller than the browser window... so you have to scroll up and down. This would benefit from being broken up, with more white space. I'd strongly suggest a single column.

According to the pew research center, Median net worth for American Households was as follows in 2013: Whites: $141,900 Blacks: $11,000 Hispanics: $13,700 So if you care about the lack of diversity in race in the industry, a good place t

It strikes me that gender issues may be easier to address then racial issues in part because of the racial wealth gap. According to the pew research center, Median net worth for American Households was as follows in 2013: Whites: $141,900

The flip side of romances, if there is one, isn't comic books. More like letters to penthouse. Romances are supposed to be for adults, and are meant to be sensual or erotic. Like I said, different topic.

Nah dude.I get what you are saying, but if that is the case, why are male villians often grotesque, but female villians always (or almost anyway) just as sexy as female heros? Heros are drawn for you to identify with as a power fantasy. Th
