'An action that intentionally hurts other people' sufficed for me. Why do so many HN commenters have trouble reading this simple idea?

You completely lost me here. Violence can happen through a variety of mechanisms. There's no body that can insist that only the physical tearing of flesh or bone is encapsulated by the word 'violence'.

I found the author's usage of the term eye-opening rather than myopic!

Because neighbors are scared shitless of their property values decreasing, and our society legitimizes this fear.

This looks great! I'm particularly thrilled about the export-to-PDF option.

What a situation. I can't help but marvel at how so many Google Docs users don't understand they're looking at a not real example document. Maybe they should've used a common-but-famous name instead ("George Washi

One point from the article I found most interesting: > Pages that contain Facebook "like" buttons enable Facebook to track visitors to those pages. Facebook tracks Internet users that see "like" buttons, even users wh

As someone who can relate to the parent post, I will admit that if no one is actively listening to me then I absolutely will not speak. But I'm on the quieter side of personalities and don't enjoy talking for the hell of it.

I'm trying Ghost, hosted on Openshift. Free. For less personal content, I'll probably use Medium.

I subscribe to tons of newsletters for my enjoyment. I started using GMail filters and labels for this purpose. I have enough types of newsletters that I filter them further by type into nested sub labels. I don't happen to use Inbox

Seems like you haven't had any exceptional drivers! I've had drivers on Uber-like services offer water, mints, candy, magazines to read. Definitely makes the experience more pleasant, but adds to the driver's overhead cost. I

it's _not_ given to you 'all in one shot' though. the 'top' comment is first, along with all of its responses, then the second top comment, and so on. you'll still miss many good responses because you won'

I wish there were more jobs. The 30 results here are a bit underwhelming...
315.
by thex10 11y ago
Agreed. Even some basic sorting/filtering on the jobs table would be great. Also, is it just me or do pages of 15 results seem quite short nowadays?

Interesting perspective of gentrification from somewhere I know little about (an Atlantan suburb). The neighborhood I grew up in (Lower east side of New York City) is gentrifying these days as well. It's a bit disorienting for me to th

Why are we jumping to the conclusion that the whole internet would follow the same rules though? I imagine some sites would want to cultivate certain kinds of humor (it might allow abuse, but at least not everyone's walking on eggshell

So unics, how would you rate your own comment in terms of civility? Say 1..5, least to most. I'd rate it 4 for civility, 1 for quality of argument, then downvote you since you haven't read the article.

This. PLENTY of normal people know how to use it. Many normal people can even use Twitter better than the engineers who work on it - "normal" people created some of Twitter's core features! [1] For me (a non-famous Twitter us

Really stoked!! I love what I do (front end, design, occasional dalliance further back the stack). I taught myself HTML and CSS in my earlier years of high school and kept building upon those skills through university. I actually studied an

If you have to read between the lines to squeeze out a weak example of discrimination then is it really discriminatory? I'm sure all the boys who get plenty of encouragement to pursue computers/tech elsewhere in their lives will n

Is it really true that reselling a MacBook machine is possible at a decent price? I've had a lot of trouble with this.

Yep. In my day the fees at the more elite schools were about $70, which was entirely too much money. The effort required to waive the fee was enough to incentivize me to apply to fewer schools (thereby also incentivizing me to accept the fi

I wonder if it's more the other way around... the brands that want to woo the moderate to higher wealth / suburbanites / what-have-you will hire more able bodied whites. Effectively shutting the other candidates out to work a
