   You’ve posted enough info here on HN for anyone to dox you (I won’t). Just thought it was relevant to your comment.

   If this is true and Canada has not arrested O’Leary then they’ve already shown how weak they are to naked sedition and it’s only a matter of time before something terrible happens.

   I haven’t been following the news recently. What is the talk of annexation? First I’ve heard of it.

   A guy I worked with was fired for sending this to a woman we worked with that he had a grudge against for some reason or another. Apparently he sent it from his work computer, which wasn’t the brightest idea. He sat in the next cube over fr

   I was on Twitter from 2009 until it turned into Xitter. I never saw much of that hatred for straight, white men (e.g. me). Sure, if you went looking you could always find something to be offended about, if that’s what you desired. I never f

   What you said does encapsulate conservative vs progressive ideology pretty well. One seeks to cling to their ancestors norms and one seeks to write their own. I don’t think it’s trolling to point that out, but maybe I’m missing some subtext

   Almost no one knows if a project/business idea will be successful or not, so it's not much use asking. It's more productive to ask smart, experienced people how to best validate and execute an idea. People generally give usef

   If anyone is wondering, the infamous “they” in this case is The Entomological Society of America, not the USDA or WSDA. You can read the press release here: https://entsoc.org/news/press-releases/northern-giant-hor

    I’m not going to look for stats but as someone who’s been in the startup scene for a long time, it’s true and the stats are probably even worse than that. It’s totally inefficient for the entrepreneur but very efficient for the VC. One of m

    I think maybe you’re running afoul of the same thing you’re accusing me of, which is being too vague. There are plenty of examples such as the lavish gifts given to SCOTUS justices with the expectation that they’ll behave the “right” way. A

    There are absolutely social, political, and economic consequences. Those in the political class don’t exist in a separate bubble from each other. There are natural consequences for breaking from the party line, especially on the right, whic

    That’s a legal remedy not justice. Justice wouldn’t let Jones potentially buy back the company using money the siphoned off and hid from the court.

    There’s a reason most business and technology tools target enterprise and not SMB - the economics don’t work to target SMB. It’s much easier to convince a middle manager at some bigco to buy your solution for 100k than it is to convince 100

    Is this a problem you have or ideation? Tools to help small businesses efficiently manage government RFPs and bids exist. I remember a few years ago startup in my local area got a good bit of funding and press for this concept.

    If you look at who is claiming espionage, I don’t think it’s intended to be a plausible explanation - just an excuse to further agitate.

    This is probably orthogonal to the conversation but I’ve found (later in life) that networking is the single most important thing you can do if you want to find success in business. That’s how I advise younger folks to see the world too. As

    I believe the implication isn’t that he’d be fired. Rather that doing the bidding of the far right (as instructed) was the deal he made to get the job. I look at it as payment for services rendered.

    This isn’t about politics, it’s about justice. The only reason politics is even in the equation is because Jones has made his living as a political blatherskite.

    I stopped caring about that when companies started using Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to evaluate resumes based on keywords and other silly criteria without ever having a person actually review it.

    Are you saying that the violence is caused by the immigrants directly or indirectly? I can’t say for Sweden but in the Texas immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than citizens[1]. There doesn’t seem to be a good source of data for the US

    Personally, I don’t care for the images on the articles. I find them distracting from the information I actually want, the headline and content. It seems that their purpose is purely aesthetic in this UI, but not a pleasing one for me.

    From my perspective all that chart shows is that it’s been pervasive issue for at least the last 2 decades. I don’t think that homelessness is any more or less visible now than it has been, at least in my lifetime.

    The results of the last election tell a much different story. If the economy was soaring for the average person then I don’t think control of the government would have changed or at least not as dramatically.

    “Half of Americans are facing housing insecurity” is probably closer to the intent but I don’t know if that’s actually true.
