The article says "The social network has not given an explanation for its actions." Banning is fine, but it would be nice if they can actually say in writing, citing reasons and evidence, why they banned them (even if lots of evid

Not trying to defend the president (or anyone else), but - how else can one get elected? If voters carefully consider facts before voting then it makes sense for candidates to stick to facts and tell the truth and tell what is possible etc.

What would be awesome is some kind of a test (15 mins or so) that can actually test the levels (math, programming etc) of curious folks and then make suggestions based on what they score. I've seen Udacity do such quick tests, not sure

I don't disagree but there are lots of sub reddits without drama and toxicity. Opendata, datasets, babyelephantgifs etc etc. If you choose to ignore subs that have anything to do with politics, religion etc, Reddit can be quite enjoyab

instead of being focused on escaping the rat race This resonates. How would it work in practice though? Many people want to contribute, but they are stuck as they have to provide for their family. Also, how do we know what to work on? Som

One thing that worked for me was volunteering. I didn't volunteer to meet people, I only volunteered because I had time and wanted to do something useful. I met very interesting people this way, which was a surprise (to me) side effect

why not something like this: Every domain sold would be for the same price (10 per year or whatever), no secondary markets or private deals.

How does one get started with this? I suppose a lot of people who hang out at HN are competent devs good in programming and databases, but probably beginners in math, ML, AI etc. How does such a person get started and find a job in this fie

Thank you. I'm going to check it out. Both TinyMCE and CK work well if we have a handful of these on the page. But anything more than that, it becomes a mess and drags the page down :(

How does it compare with TinyMCE and CK Editors?

Make it easier for them to change jobs This is the most important of all. Also let them be free agents and even work for themselves if they choose to. That is how it is in other countries like Canada, Australia etc.

Same case here in the U.S. Not just recruiters, even the job sites are slimy. In addition to what you mentioned, I've noticed this - job sites keep changing the date. So a job that looks like it was posted "today" was likely

A small example of public's attitude can be seen in prison rape jokes, both in real life casually and in media/movies. Most people just look at cons as less than humans, even the non-violent ones. And then we have media "pers

it's only a matter of time before Amazon has a recruitment problem that it can't fix. That is to be seen. There are lots of horrible employers who are still around (EA for example). Supply of workers is much greater than demand
