Like Upwork (formerly Elance and Odesk)? Hiring contractors instead of employees isn't that uncommon, and now we're even seeing the startup studio become more popular as a business model.

No, they really don't. Retard has historically been used to classify the mentally disabled, it literally was a definition. Using it to call someone mentally disabled as an insult is more offensive to the mentally disabled than callin

The problem is the historical usage of "retard" toward the mentally disabled and the trend to use the word to call not mentally disabled people mentally disabled as an insult. The "mentally disabled as an insult" part i

That's not the same thing though. Calling someone a git is just calling them stupid, calling someone a retard is saying they're so stupid they're mentally disabled and they should feel ashamed for it. It's pretty insul

Seems more like a GoFundMe for travel, actually not that bad of an idea(GoFundMe even has a section for travel). I think the idea is more for friends and family to donate to a travel experience, not strangers.

There's an entire subreddit dedicated to denigrating Yishan Wong as well. Name some of the concrete things Ellen Pao has done at Reddit to be the cause of all of this, or any of this.

For years all it would've taken is a solid competitor with good technology and management and Reddit is gone. Right now Reddit's really the only game in town. If someone were to come along with technology that wouldn't reg

Spare us, Reddit's been mismanaged for long before Ms Pao started there. Just look at Alexis Ohanian's (kn0thing) comments[0]. Not to mention the celeb nudes debacle, which was allowed then disallowed and announced by a sysadmin

It is a mistake to assume Ellen Pao is the reason for /r/fatpeoplehate's removal, both /r/jailbait and /r/creepshots were banned before she worked at Reddit. Who's to say /r/fatpeoplehate w

That's not the criticism. They're not cobbling a solution together to prevent bankruptcy, they're cobbling together a solution to an already solved problem. Ecommerce fulfillment companies exist, and they chose a freight co

Yeah, that does raise the question of why they chose a company that doesn't normally do what they were looking for in a fulfillment center. It never really covers why exactly they chose Heritage Paper over a different company that foc
