Government control of media could be on the way, Trump stopped speaking to mainstream press in the last few months of his campaign while also hiring Steve Bannon from Breitbart. Don't be surprised if Breitbart becomes (and perhaps also

I will never understand why this is such a point of contention on HN and why it isn't accepted that some people legitimately prefer open office plans while others prefer quiet. And even more practical and intelligent would be to offer

Except that's not remotely true. I have been a big twitter user for years and I am impressed at how unintrusive the change has been. Popular posts are at the very top but the timeline remains mostly unchanged. You're going out of

I can relate to this. Growing up poor and originally working in nonprofits out of college I experienced a lot of stress about money and about making the kind of mistakes you listed. Getting a parking ticket was a huge deal. Today I am much

This isn't nuanced, it doesn't add much to the discussion. It's "I think people of color commit more crimes" wrapped in an acceptable veneer.

Maybe this is true because I've only worked in a software boom in a large city but the only reason I've been out of work in the last 5 years since I switched from working in politics to coding full time is because I deemed the job

I'm black and I agree with you. I don't want bigots strong armed into accepting my money. Though I do understand how someone would feel slighted by race based discrimination and want to take action against it.

Doesn't capital also come with the expectation/pressure you need some sort of liquidity event in the next X years because the VC's fund depends on it?

It's "political" news. More important to keep the focus on new versions of Rails, rounds of funding and IPOs.

That's incorrect, at the Daily Show they have a large fact checking team because they want their jokes to be based in fact. The Daily Show has also done apologies and retractions when they were incorrect. It is a comedy show but they a

Jackson alienated a lot of people but objectively he did a good job. The team had been floundering and he turned them into a top tier defense. If anything he failed on soft skills alienating some of his players and failing as a manger. But
