Take a step back and put this identity politics madness into context. Basically you get penalized for working hard and following the rules. Imagine you're a working-class White or Asian family, not eligible for state aid, and your ch

Which start-up would you rather work at? The one which hires the best developers they can find without any regard to race or gender? Or the one that turns away good developers because they have diversity quotas in hiring?

I'm going to upvote you. It's a very good point you've made here. This founder is giving bad advice to women who don't want to get pregnant causing some women to ditch contraception like condoms... resulting in unwanted

Seems to be a lot of self-righteous moral crusaders on Twitter, and some on HN too, who won't be satisfied until they see Lenovo employees hanging from lamp posts...

Yes, the Guardian and Telegraph are at war now. I would say it's both journalism and revenge, because the Guardian likes to take the moral high ground on many issues, so its interesting to find out that they are not above accepting mo

Yes, another use-case is if you are running Privoxy on your local computer; would be great if you could MITM all local SSL connections instead of having to manually whitelist specific sites.

However distasteful Lenovo's business decision to bundle adware on their consumer laptops, the finger of blame should now rightly point to the third-party software provider, Komodia. Lenovo did not vet the software properly before bund

From a corporate perspective, Hortensius approved the bundling of adware (so he's ok with it) from what he thought was a reputable third-party software company. He was wrong! http://marcrogers.org/2015/02/19&

It's pretty similar to what Comcast are doing by injecting ads into the web pages you visit. Perhaps the real problem is that tech companies hire too many product/marketing managers, resulting in them having to cook up ridiculous
