Sure, it's possible. After all, it's easy to misunderstand an online comment. However, parent did say that persians had a great and ancient civilization and don't like to be compared to camel herders. And calling arabs camel

"camel herders". wow. The Arabs had great/ancient civilizations too. The whole region is rife with rich history. Anyway, lots of people get offended if you confuse their ethnicity ( eg: korean <=> japanese, china <=&

No growth and/or no progress on getting traction. Without this, it's only a matter of time.

Their pricing isn't really prototype/startup friendly though.

heartily agree with "give most of your profits to" Even though Plaid comes up a lot in these conversation, I haven't found their pricing any better or startup friendly than any other provider (fincity, yodlee etc). Better mar

tsk. The overhead in getting another job is high modulo personal circumstance. Why not use the helpful comment and try to be non-judgemental?

Yes, I do find your comment mediocre. Hope you're happy!

Ungendering seems like the extreme, and so, the wrong step to take in the workplace. What Obama put forth -- using the facilities meant for the gender you identify with -- seems like a more common-sense response. Chances that someone woul

Very true. And based on that, I considered moderating my tone. But, harping on about facebook is what he does and he does represent the influx of marketing that's closer to car salesmen than hackers.

How many times is this guy going to rehash being fired from facebook as validation? His projected image repels me: the antithesis of a hacker - a smiley/slick bro-dude. Who ends up ruining your startup culture.

Yup: it's easy to find a business-y co-founder, but it's hard to figure out if they are going to be a great one. At the end of the day, the only real way is that you've actually worked with them in the past. How about bring

Interesting. I thought you are allowed to discriminate based on disability, if it impedes work function. Any depression that gets to the level of being qualified as a disability seems severe enough to impede work.

But let's say you get the pay incentive after you go through a class on deescalation. Make it a 4hr online class :) Now, the debate can center on training again. But, this time with a focus on deescalation vs how to aim for center of

I think better training might help, but the problem isn't pre-job training, it's the training they get once they've been on the job. Surely, most average people's first instinct isn't approach any interaction with

But here's the thing: imminent threat is exactly what they are allowed to react against now . I think the issue isn't actual threat, it's perceived threat. And, cops perceive a lot of things as threatening enough to endang

When they say "it's a theory" they're probably hinting towards the fact that it's a model , and not that they think they are floating around. It's interesting the top-comment displays such a supercilious attit

I know HN frowns upon "me too!" comments. But .. Me too! I now use gitlab for my company and haven't noticed a difference. I want my git host to worry about hosting git.

It's "the worst idea in the world" because it perpetuates the idea that certain words or thoughts are taboo. This doesn't mean people stop having them. This just means that they are labelled/judged if they have them

Sure. But a good writer does not mean an inoffensive one. If pressed, I would even argue that the opposite is that case. You are so off the mark that you must be trolling or "receded".

Will Jack Dorsey and whoever interviewed him even remember this interview in 6 months? 2 years? 10 years? What's the point of a Q&A that asks generic questions? How about aiming for content that is insightful and valuable for 1+ ye

Exactly. Both your responses have the person taking on the role of a --short term-- mentee: they show some sort of of connection + naïveté that prompts the authority figure into rooting for them ie caring enough to indicate next steps. &#x2

by mildbow 10y ago
I haven't found the same to be the case. Being able to speak the local language and to be able to portray yourself as "local boy made good" seems to bring out something in people where they want to root for you.

Heartwarming story. What I've experienced is, all over the world, people will try to help: if you seem like you need help and don't have all the answers/money. For travelers -- if you know the local language, speak it. I had

Love this comment. Because that's what happened. Maybe it's a cautionary tale supported by another meme -- never go full retard. But they got up and seem to be dusting themselves off. So kudos for showing transparency when they me

We have so many choices in the javascript ecosystem that it's pretty impossible to make a meaningful choice. But, it's very possible to lose time trying to figure out what you "should" choose or even what your choices mi

Silly downvoters: they are responding to your tone rather than the content of your post. Anyway, for sure there is a tonne of cruft and confusion when starting a new js project(SPA app) nowadays. Esp if you want to use react: it's one

Lots of people will pick fights with people who have an audience (like pg) just so they can borrow that audience for a short while. I'm not convinced that most of the aforementioned responses weren't motivated by that. So, giv
