I suspect that you're deliberately missing the point, but I'll tell it to you anyway. It's not about the percentage of visitors that were abusive. It's the number of people who were abusive when they thought they were ta

Sounds like you're answering "What strategy may work to solve poverty?" or something close to that. OP said there are "known good solutions for poverty that work reliably and consistently well". I'm interested

>I think that the problem is simple. No. Poverty is an extraordinarily complex problem. Its root cause isn't even fully agreed upon by those who have studied it. The example in your link is not even remotely comparable or analogous.

Really nice work on this. Does it support pie charts currently? If not, any plans to do so in the future?

I've been with Amazon for four years and have never once seen or heard of someone taking their laptop to the bathroom. I have difficulty believing that's true. He's right about not enough bathrooms, though. It's really

OP's submissions appear to comply with all of the site guidelines. What does it matter if they also happen to send traffic to his startup?

He's referring to earlier comments in the same letter where he talks about answering a question from someone about what Day 2 at Amazon looks like. At Amazon, one of the company mantras is "It's still Day 1." That's

I don't understand the 17 to 24 age range for the college degree statistic. Isn't the percentage for anyone under 21 practically zero? Seems like that would be skewing the statistic pretty dramatically.
