Maybe you can confirm this if you live in LA? That would be a cool catch. http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/12/31/snoopsnit...

Cool to see. Is its release a reaction to Sy Hersh's article (about which I'm agnostic), or is this a coincidence?

Your first sentence contains an amazing turn of phrase. Thank you.

My pleasure. Shoot me an email at jordan at birnholtz dot com if you'd like any notes or supplementary texts (or just a friendly chat about the subject).

Do you still live here as well? And to what version of MLK Jr do you refer -- some sanitized and vague liberal hallucination, or the radical Christian egalitarian he was? A lot of things have hurt Detroit. Include corporate malfeasance, cha

Big fan. Have you read Norm Daniels' Just Health? It's a riff off a Rawls/Social Contract world view, and it really spoke to me.

What a thoughtful comment. I don't intend to attack, so please take the following question in good faith: did you mean to say "male gene" or "male gender"? I'd certainly agree for the former, but I would hope y

Thank you for framing this in the way you did. There are so many ways to arrange human affairs. Some people thrive in certain environments and despair in others. Genetics plays a role in how we respond to different stimuli, but we're n

Your interpretation of your faith != people of faith, sdegutis. I prefer a civil discussion of medical ethics to simple down voting myself. Feel free to drop a little bit more on your views here. I'm a bit rusty but I did once have a v

Hi a. I've followed you around HN for a while. I can count at least a dozen times where I've begun to write a comment about one of your comments. Really. So it's a strange honor to see you responding to me. Anyway, you drive

Reasonable question. I don't think I've made my motive for not sharing publicly very clear. That you'd parse their identities is a secondary concern to me (as I don't think you could). I'm more concerned about their

If you email me at jordan at birnholtz dot com, I will get right back to you. Hell, if you email me right now with your phone number, I'll even call you. I think these stories are worth telling, but I'm not going to compromise the

I don't perceive Snapchat as the next great thing but I'd love to hear why you do. Really and truly -- I thought they were bonkers for not taking FB's offer, but I'm open to hearing why they aren't. Would you do me

Hey fiatmoney. I think you're concerned about some thing that a lot of people don't vocalize civilly, so I'm glad that you are. Though I don't work in admissions, I work alongside a number of people of that do. I've

William Vollmann's Rising Up & Rising Down is worth your time. If you're inclined towards philosophy of science or epistemology, I'd also recommend R Nozick's Invariances: The Structure of the Objective World.

www.prep4.us-- sorry for the trouble, and thanks for letting me know! Not actually expecting a ZA :). But a serious natural disaster or transient supply chain disruption instead.

It's interesting to watch corporations expose one another's vulnerabilities in a public way. It seems like this was done pretty fairly, giving PayPal ample time to address the bug-- so I guess that's neat.

You're a good person for acknowledging this and offering her such kind words. Everyone's got biases and resentment, but you just discharged yours with genuine dignity. Please take care.

Hipsters is approaching synonymous with young people at this point. If you're curious as to how young people in Detroit are making a living, I will give you some very concrete examples: 1. Me. I am the biz director of a fantastic start

StudyEdge (YC S13) is doing a great job with a similar service. They provide Khan Academy-style videos with a live support system (on the FB app platform). The videos + support system are meant to supplement university courses-- essentially

No. Diagnosing mental illness is a very inexact science since multiple etiologies can create very similar symptoms. And a single etiology or difference can create many divergent ones [edit for clarity: symptoms]. It wasn't cast out bec

No Exit is a Sartre play. I'm only halfway through the article so I can't speak authoritatively to why the title was chosen. My money says this is a pun, combining the the notion of the "exit" of a startup while implying

I like the bit about climate differences and workspaces. But to say that slavery is the "cartoon version" of what the Civil War was "about" is absolutely wrong. The Civil War was unambiguously about, above or preceding o

I'm over in Detroit at Core but I used to run my own in A2. Glad to see folks representing. Are you at one of the companies on MadeinA2?
