Are they the ones choosing first? I think it's completely the other way around. Consider the common Tinder/OkCupid situation where a man sends out hundreds of messages to only receive a few replies, while a woman has hundreds of m

This isn't how it works in the real world at all, though. People want to optimize for their own pair, with no regard for "maximizing the sum of all compatibility scores." In other words, I don't care about anyone else&#x

Ironic, how you disparage the original comment by attacking him and his character through a comparison to reddit. Please attack the content of the comment rather than its tone. Using big words does not make your perspective more valid.

I like my beard though, and I'm not bending over backwards to conform to some security agent's bigoted views. Fuck 'em. My mom called me frantically when I was in college once and told me to shave my beard because she didn&#x

If they're really concerned about privacy and security, their machine would be air-gapped and the web wouldn't even be available as an attack vector. What it really is though is a superiority complex fulfilling their need to be &q

And if you talk to Americans, many of their parents would not accept if they came out as gay. That doesn't mean human rights are not advancing in the US, it just means that the previous generations have a hard time letting go of their

Unequivocally yes, MS, Google, and Apple are all deeply unethical. This is proven in their business practices as well as their manufacturing practices. The problem is we live in a society that values money over all else, including human suf

7-12 (5 hours sleep) 12-2 (2 hours chatting around fire) 2-5 (3 hours sleep) How are you doing the math here? I count 8 hours of sleep.

Then quit it with the lie that any person in the US has the same chance of success. It's obvious that the only thing that matters is who your parents are and how much money they have, let's accept it for what it is and stop praisi

Are you implying that racism/bigotry is a solved problem in your country (assuming it's not the US)?

Also Best Buy sells "As seen on TV" products, which clearly indicate they can be purchased elsewhere. Apple wants their cut, and they're not taking no for an answer.

We're talking about someone getting something they don't deserve due to their birth alone. That kind of injustice doesn't last long in society without someone calling it out.

Because the police only exist to protect assets and asset holders. That's why they were established so don't be surprised when they don't protect and serve the people.

You know no-one is forcing you to play CS in your browser, right? Why is it so offensive to you that this exists and someone else is finding joy in playing it? Why does HN love to rag on web technologies so much?

Can you please point me to the comment in this thread that implies that "all incidents that involve different races can be blamed on racism?" Or are you just interjecting with a non-sequitur for no reason?

It's ok, from the figures it looks like we don't really need your respect. Continue ignoring the pain and fear that your fellow US citizens live in, and continue defending the actions of the stormtroopers who beat them to death in

You'd be shocked if you looked into how little (read: nothing) Obama did about police overreach and lack of oversight. Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump... when it comes to police brutality they're all the same. This isn't a partis

I love seeing these opinions on HN, it means my job as a qualified JS dev is very, very secure. If you work at a place that has problems with npm deps, just understand that the problem is your team, not the ecosystem. Choose which tools you
