this is such a prototypical example of utter western bullshit. Likely near zero understanding of politics, just grew up with the words "democracy" being shoved into your ears repeatedly. Do you really believe that China's 1.

are you serious? It's crazy to see point blank the effects of western brainwashing on people. Open your eyes. What China is doing is nowhere close to colonization

True, if you're working alone. But 5, 50, 500, 5000 artists trying to paint on the same canvas? Then the game is significantly changed.

They might've had really experienced mysql dbas. While postgres does seem to be as nice, in my experience, it's harder to find people who truly understand it, vs people who truly understand mysql. Not saying mysql is better, but

Nice, can you describe some of the interesting elements Elixir brought to development experience? How would you compare it to your previous tool of choice? Great to see Elixir getting more use!

I don't understand how "in that sense" qualifies the meaning differently. That does "that sense" refer to exactly?

I'm not saying the racism the author has experienced is right, it sucks, it's wrong, and I actually know how he feels because I have had similar experiences with race in my own life. But I have read A LOT of arguments on HN tryin

lol, i would hesitate before calling a 5,000 year old culture "superficial". It makes you look superficial.

Coffee is one specific species of a bean, roasted, and brewed with varying amounts of hot water, milk, chocolate, and maybe a few other ingredients. There are endless species of fish, with wildly different tastes (salmon, vs tuna, vs tuna b

lol the amount of bias you have towards your own culture is astounding. Taste and smell is a HUGELY sensitive skill. I don't doubt that changing the "tiniest detail in a paint" could "totally change the emotions",

+1, I was gonna post about this quote. Extremely short sighted and offensive. > they literally bring nothing to the table besides being Asian Thanks for qualifying any Asian person as being nothing more than their race. I know it wasn&

Lol, I wouldn't call it out as pride. There might simply be no reason to change. Ideas have been expressed in the written language for thousands of years, and I believe that it's probably as efficient as English. Very different

Characters aren't necessary words. In Chinese, a lot of phrases are expressed in groupings of 2 characters and 4 characters. Especially in these 4 character groupings, you can find a lot of efficiency and elegance. It expresses ideas

Hey wpietri, thanks for writing this comment. Sometimes, I read through threads like these, and see a lot of vocal white people saying shit that makes me lose hope for the future. White people are in charge in this country, and any change

literally never discussed the idea of a quota in this particular thread, so you're jumping to conclusions here.

So Eric Gardner probably deserved to get choked out because he sold cigarettes illegally on a street? And Michael Brown was probably a thug, so deserved to die?

Tech builds the product that these people use. It makes sense for a representation of those users to be building the product.

I'm Chinese, and I don't appreciate your attempt at pitting Asians against Blacks.

by mazerackham 11y ago
Ya, the idea sounds terrible if you just think about it for a split second: Most Black Americans are descended from slaves. And their slave owners forced their family name on them. Slave owners were white. So these names will register as

Huge upvote here. As much as we would like to forget about race in America, the fact is: Race Matters. The way people look at you, talk to you (or ignore you), talk about you, extend invites, etc..that ALL changes with your race.

Wow, trying to redefine racial diversity as racism. Having a different skin color makes a HUGE impact on the way you experience life, especially in America. Holding all other things equal, that alone will give you a different outlook on li

You honestly think it's "worth questioning how a black person would think differently"? Different experiences yield different points of view yield different ideas

Twitter definitely has a relocation program. And in general, engineers move to the Bay Area in order to work at companies like Twitter.

Ya I find that westerners in general have a REALLY hard time dealing with the success of China in the past 30 years, all of which springs from undemocratic policy. All media articles I read about China are ridiculously spun to grasp at str

Plenty of godfilled cultures have compromised just as many if not more violations of the sanctity of human life. Take your god away from me, and help yourself instead.

China's success is DEFINITELY because of the policies they put in place. Population growth at China's scale is not a "pretty old problem". It's literally the largest population in the history of the world. No one,
