Re race - no. OP argument is not that minorities should be substituted with conservatives (that would indeed be race-related). Rather that diversity should not be constrained to only two axes of race and gender.

I downvoted your comment because a. It's pure snark b. Introduced race into the discussion for no reason c. Did not address any of the actual points made by the OP

You're white, so nice American liberals don't give a sht about your plight. Now if you were Bosnian, they'd care more :)

Stopped reading at the mention of gay marriage. If someone's argument starts with listing unrelated political views of the business adversary, their opinion is irrelevant. Let the courts figure it out.

I don't think the people who are upset about both white flight and gentrification think of things in 'white people' terms. Rather they focus on blacks (or whichever minority the whites happen to be fleeing or displacing). It&

This article is retarded on almost every level. I generally detest the Guardian but at least respect them for intellectual consistency. This is just plain atrocious thinking. 1. The fact that rich people from Russia and China hide their wea

I'm not sure about public sentiment - have you seen polls about it? My take is that HN crowd is completely unrepresentative vis-a-vis the opinion of majority on this issue.

Imho it ultimately comes down to whether the clients will demand their money back. If they don't - I don't see why operators would even mind. But if they do - the operators will have to pay costs (permits, sherpas, etc) while ha

Author is saying that early decisions made by an un-diverse Twitter staff led to the company's problems today (as it's having hard time growing [partly] because it has an abuse problem [I guess towards women]). Does it not occur t

Don't care. Various groups had faced real discrimination in the job market - jews, italians, irish, etc. Here's one piece of historical trivia - Warren Buffett could not get his first Wall Street job because the company he really

Thank you. Funny enough I experienced a similar issue with my S4 a few years ago. One day it just died - no messages, no nothing. Completely out of the blue, no falls or anything. I took it to Samsung repair, they sent it off and returned i

I'm someone who regularly swaps batteries (a few times a week) and don't give a slightest toss about this feature. I can wait 30 seconds while the phone is off.

I've been a loyal Samsung owner since S3. Didn't upgrade to S6 because they dropped removable battery. Was waiting to see if it's brought back with S7 - it's not. Will be getting this phone as an upgrade. For me removabl

I agree on the larger point you made. However - a lot of the 'tax breaks' are not really 'breaks'. They are tools created to avoid double-taxation.

The guy is totally off. I happen to know this bit and therefore find everything else rather specious. All countries allow one to contribute tax-free to their pension OR contribute with after-tax income but withdraw without paying tax. US ha

You sound rather smug and happy that people who hold opinions differing from yours can not express them for fear of repercussions. That must feel great.

I might be wrong but it appears that Twitter is mostly useful for reporters who want to write a story on something and find it easy to get quotes. Whereas before this required traveling to the random place where the story takes place (with

I don't agree because I fail to see examples of said discrimination. Maybe it's there - what evidence points to it? How many black women got 5 on AP CS test?
