You seem to have a huge chip on your shoulder. Also, HN is not what you should measure your life against IMO.

I know people who have paid . Upper class can be very rich too.

I don't care about religion. I care about alienating women. The 'virgin girl' bit is clearly gratuitous and peddles gender stereotypes about men in CS.

Nice, attack the person and not the point I made. Did you address the "virgin girl" that RMS uses in his stupid speech. Even your comments are all pro RMS yet I'm engaging you.

How are you not valued ? You yourself said you get 145k TC, is that not valued ? What have you done to deserve to be on the NYTimes or other papers. If you want more accomplishments and recognition then work harder instead of complaining.

Oh so now it's the audience's fault to not be "tolerant" of RMS' bullshit.

They couldn't afford to pay the fees. They got full rides.

Conveniently ignored "a girl who is a virgin". How frustrating must that be for a girl in the audience.

There will be billions of people doing good work. Many will always be overlooked. So your problem is people from average schools not getting fame ? On average it's the top tier schools that produce top level prize winning / field

A counter point 3 of my friends who had no money from India got accepted into Harvard purely on the merit of their talents. Same with the son of a blue collar worker here. You have conveniently setup a shield in your head where this ceiling

So sports are bad but music good ? Admissions are not based on your taste.

Church of GNU / Emacs video..."a virgin girl who hasn't used Emacs before". If that isn't alienating then I don't know what is.

You need to be more than just your SAT or grades to get into elite institutions. It's clear that you didn't get that and thought a SAT score + straight As should be enough. Now you go blaming the "elites".

Harvard has way more than legacy admissions. Why do you care anyway ? In your head it mustn't be good with all these "legacy admissions".

by mav3rick 7y ago
Why would we be better off ? Harvard consistently produces well rounded and above average graduates. Most people here aren't comfortable with that thought.

I qualified my response saying it's anecdata. Your responses clearly try to undermine the top engineering institutions, I provided a counter.

Keep peddling the HN narrative.

I think he is a charlatan who preys on insecurities and charges hefty amounts for his seminars. He was holding one such environmental one and the organization itself was deemed pretty bad for the environment. So much so that the PM didn&#x2

The percentage means nothing. It could be that some NC State's candidates may fail at both NCSU and Duke. And most Duke will pass at both universities.

Also notice how it is almost always okay for "women" to be discouraged and counted as collateral damage. The fact that you do that tells me a lot.

If any other person did this, especially someone from FAANG etc. you'll be out with your pitchforks. The double standard is so real.

Having a leadership position comes with its own checks and balances. RMS isn't special to go over that.

Wow I've seen everything on HN to protect RMS. The Allies action was to counter gratuitous aggression and persecution of large swathes of people. Are you telling me RMS has had the same experiences in his life to warrant his egregious

Completely agree.

You are okay forgiving people as long as their "net impact" is positive? Is it okay for someone to murder a person if they saved more than one life before ?

Only at Google is employee voice truly heard compared to the rest of FAANG and Microsoft.
