That has nothing to do with the earlier discussion, which wasn't about physical strength and wasn't about women being offended. You made a claim, and you were challenged to provide any support of that claim. You have not provided

It depends. Saying "horrible idea" and "can't believe we're considering this" will be pointlessly hostile in many situations. Why not just be specific about the problem?

It would be useful if people carefully considered their real motivations for their feedback, and whether it was really all correct and relevant. Feedback which hasn't passed a strong internal filter for whether it is basically construc

I don't agree with you. I don't know what your environment is like, but I notice a lot of people who are pointlessly aggressive and competitive, or who premise their aggression on being right about something they're actually

You are correct, but apparently this opinion is not okay to express on HN while it is always okay to say "I will never buy from Lenovo," even though the statements are mirror images of each other. There is a "right" opin

Only because vendors other than Microsoft have control over what's shipped. If Microsoft wants to include something, they won't describe it as crappy.

Well, in the case of Lenovo you can download those drivers. It's challenging because most people can't install an OS.

No more than any other vendor. They apologized about Superfish, not that it matters because such apologies are free. Superfish was pretty stupid, but I wouldn't use the preinstalled OS on any laptop anyway just for reasons like this wh

I will continue to order as many Lenovo machines as I need. It is more important to me that the vendor serves my needs than what HN thinks about them. I'm not buying something crappy for my purposes because HN is mad.

What standard are you training them to meet? In this thread we are already struggling with "innocent until proven guilty." I don't think the problem is that juries are too stupid.

The general complaint is that this isn't transparent, but it's fully within the law.

You don't really know why I'm wearing a suit, though; maybe I like it.

Only if that employee has the time and money to waste on the lawsuit, and has any evidence in hand to make it go. How is that employee supposed to discover this? By fraudulently pretending to be a prospective employer?

If you are asking me to start a negotiation and I give too high a number for your tastes, that isn't my fault, it's your fault for not just offering what I'm worth to you. How am I supposed to know what you consider to be a m

Would someone mind very simply explaining how this relates to (or differs from) Angular?

You're okay with the rules because you live in the clubhouse. The fact that you are pulling up the ladder to keep other people out unless they roll over and pee themselves to acknowledge your dominance speaks volumes about what life is

While it is certainly informal to say "guys," I have heard both men and women use it in a definitely gender-neutral sense for my entire life, including in workplaces, and informality is not impolite in an informal setting like an

It's simply false that companies do not validate anything beyond dates of employment. Supposedly all companies are so terrified of lawsuits they won't do anything, but actually there is no mechanism which will allow the candidate

"If you are skilled you will get a job" implies that the only people who aren't getting jobs are unskilled, and that is very much false.

Watch someone march into an unrelated Mac thread, announce they only use Thinkpads, and get downvoted straight into the gray. Some opinions are allowed on HN, others are not.
