I know that statistics can be found that in some way correlate "diversity" with some financial metric or other being better. But that still is not definitive nor does it address the fundamental issue which is "what really is

Exactly. The greatest problem with this article is its underlying assumption that "diversity" is good by itself and that companies should pursue it. The author makes the point that she is not "diverse enough", while igno

The title of this article is click-bait and a complete oversimplification. I'm tired of seeing shit like this in HN and can't believe people are upvoting it.

Another great essay by Paul Graham that spells out the idiotic state of the current US immigration system in a clear manner. It is fucking unbelievable that even in the comments here there are still people complaining about foreign programm

It's unbelievable that the US government is focusing on providing a legal path to citzenship to ILLEGAL immigrants, while legal immigrants who are highly educated (sometimes at Ivy Leage institutions) have to wait for years to get a g

It looks like the job of this article's writer is to create lots of bullshit.

I haven't witnessed a process that is more stupid and bureaucratic as the H-1B-to-permanent-residence application process. The full thing is based on farce and it makes no sense whatsoever. I still cannot conceive how going through thi

Some men are genuinely not very interested in forming intimate friendships with other males. This does not mean men "suck" at friendship. It just means they prefer to have intimate relationships with women, not men.

It is ridiculous that they're focusing on spouses of H-1B holders instead of fixing the innumerable flaws and pains embedded in the H-1B process altogether (six year limit, long wait time for a green card, the restriction an H-1B holde

Seriously, why do titles like this make it to the top of HN? Yeah, Lincoln totally outpwned Zuck, because the idea of a place to give updates about your life is so mind-boggling, and that idea itself is why Zuck is rich.

Then this is an argument for NOT overloading the right-click behavior, not for adding a "No thanks" preference. Then all users who want to right-click have to go through ONE EXTRA STEP just to be able to do that?

Why are you going to right click again? Do you want the browser's regular right-click context menu? Okay, that's a valid reason. But then what if you want the popup AGAIN after you click "No thanks"? Does the user then have to clear his cac

Why do you need to answer no and right-click otherwise? If you don't want it, you close the dialog; closing it effectively means "No thanks". You're not going to be right-clicking on that logo often like a mad man. The current solution make

Very interesting. I wonder how much power it takes to operate something like this.

Matt, What would you suggest I do in this case: I graduated in May 2009 and have been working in the industry for 2 years. I worked with a professor for my senior project. I recently emailed said professor asking for a letter of recommendat

As far as I can see, the script will print out a contact in both of these cases: 1) Contact goes from Online to Invisible 2) Contact goes from Online to Offline by signing off This effectively means that the script gives you no more informa

"No college will actually do this because transparency goes directly against their interests" This is simply false. Plenty of universities publish employment surveys with salaries by major. For an example, see the University of Pennsylvania

"For example, Finite Automata can add but not multiply." Can someone please explain why this is true? If it can add, how can it not multiply if multiplication is repeated addition?

The title of this article is highly misleading. Does the author really think she accomplished something significant by gaining admission to the General Education program of an Ivy League university by knowing someone? The truth of the matte

I think the fact that this made it to the top of HN is unfortunate. This was precisely what the author of the reverse job application intended. Yet, creating a reverse job application web site clearly does not take any significant skill. It
