One person is speaking to the press about a protest to the event he organized; another person is commenting on the tone-deafness of the comment. Holding the latter to the scrutiny of the former and claiming that the latter is 'not allo

I am really disappointed with HN that you are being downvoted. I read the article and came away with the same impressions -- that the use of the word 'girls' and the 'I think she let herself down' comes off as exceedingl

If I were to switch, it would be because I am disappointed in the company that manages my current platform (Apple) not because I dislike the platform experience. The point of a switch for me would be to keep my workflow but extract the elem
