   Guys, a really important thing I noticed here, and please tell me if this is consistent with what you did: Applying late is bad for YC, especially in this fellowship case. I got this rejection letter, and there was no evidence my applicatio

   It's rather hard, and expensive to try to compete in domains where the government protects the status quo via heavy regulation.

   I find it shocking how people readily accept Google's far worse policies, and yet are so concerned about an easy opt out. For instance, in Android, Google tracks with GPS accuracy your whereabouts constantly. This isn't just what

   Have you ever stopped to think how calling people aggressors, and flamewar starters affects them? Do you think such insults are going to encourage them to keep trying to elevate the level of conversation here? Have you considered trying to

   Re this thread from a few days ago, calling someone or their comments "flamewar topics" and "not new": all such things break the guidelines that ask you to be civil and not to call names. '"Lol guise guise hey

   "Don’t rely on self-nominations or self-evaluations" I think this is the big thing that should be rallied around. This is prevalent, obvious, and hurts companies in more ways than just discrimination (not to marginalize that aspec

    Earlier in the article the author states that both men and women have bias. Then we get this quote, "If tech culture is going to change, everyone needs to change, especially men and most especially leaders." It would be nice to kn

    I'm curious why only one of the studies about gender-bias has anything to do with tech. Are there just not enough studies being done in that field? Are there conclusions we should be making about the world at large? Why has the author

    Interesting, there is no rule about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Furthermore, precedent would indicate quite a different policy. But the most interesting part comes here: https://ne

    Ignoring politics is the exact reason the author has trouble discerning a complete reality. When measuring society at large, politics is not a variable that can simply be ignored.

    Measuring a result of several variables, and claiming to measure only one without proper control tests. You know, science. The article's only measurements are of measure of 'economic output' and workers effort. These are of c

    What exactly is sexist about comparing someone to Hilter? Would the sexism change if the person being attacked fit under another demographic? Is it OK to criticize say Christopher Columbus because he is a white male. Please enlighten me.
