I'd hardly call it propaganda, it's merely a folk tale that reflects the cultural context within which it was developed. Sort of like the founding of Rome.

Imagine the opposite case; her brother is wildly successful, but still has a drinking problem. In this instance, she and her parents would probably shower him with love and affection. "We will get through this together!" Pretendin

It isn't; it just seems like a really shitty thing to do to someone you care about. If indeed she does, but the conditional love of women often works out this way.

> Why would you think that women are looking for something to get offended about? Clearly, not all women are looking for something to be outraged about. However, there is a vocal minority that loudly takes offense at friendly gestures, l

If you actively look for something to be offended about, you will find it. I don't think it stems from ignorance so much as forced, willful ignorance to reinforce your own cognitive biases. It borders on delusion if you get offended by

Clearly, both outcomes are suboptimal and inefficient - for retail traders. Both are actually instances of phantom liquidity, where the tape doesn't match the actual price that is being executed. One also has to keep in mind that retai

I'm surprised literate programming[0] never really caught on. Rather than have separate documentation, the paradigm is completely different. Source code generation is interspersed with the abstract flow of thoughts that one usually has

Don't forget cuckolds. There is actually a whole group of people who enjoy the thought of their S/O's cheating on them.

It's the same game, there are just different players and rules. Sometimes the best choice is to not play at all.

Technically, everyone has a say in the direction of a large, free software project. It's called a fork.

Depends on the strain, not sure if I'd go into one of these after smoking a sativa-dominant strain.

Most corporations operate essentially like a cult. You are expected to drink the Kool-Aid and tow the party line. Pay inequality is just another symptom of a systemic problem we have in the tech industry. Labor is fundamentally not respecte

Larry Wall is a great guy. Perl brings me back to the days of my Pentium 2, tinkering about with my primitive IRC bots.

Seems like an interesting premise. However, I don't know how I'd feel about being introduced to a potential romantic interest by a female friend. I don't claim to be an expert on dating, but I intuitively understand how socia

Cannot ++ you enough. In my experience, people prefer to surround themselves with those similar to them. The same holds true for any software organization.

How does any CEO get selected? I'd imagine it has something to do with knowing the right people. I wouldn't necessarily blame Pao entirely for what transpired, but it works both ways. Nadella, for instance, has been attributed wit

Can you elaborate on the experience? I assume the burn out comes from the time constraint. What would be the antithesis to the burnout you experienced working on an MMO?

That's really bizarre. A person's political views have no bearing on the validity or usefulness of what they write.

I don't think the parent was trying to apply pejorative labels or there was any malicious intent behind their post. It was more along the lines of being unable to parse the title, IMO. It's also good practice to critically examine

Legally, certain people were considered less equal than others. That doesn't make the law just in and of itself. As for having a right to drugs, every man has a right to do what they please with their body.

As I stated much earlier (I believe it was during pre-trial), Ulbricht was convicted in the court of public opinion, even before he went to trial. Some may hail this sentence as a victory for justice or some similar nonsense, but there is a

I think you are completely missing the point of this article. This isn't about whether or not one should carry large amounts of cash with them. Rather, this is about an abuse of power by a large government entity that doesn't seem

I'd argue that making the changes you desire in an open-source project and forking the project is immeasurably more productive than complaining about it on HN. (IMHO) There are many cases where project forks become more popular than th

This advice is easy to give but difficult to follow in practice. Krishnamurrthi wrote from a position of pure arrogance, because he was told his whole life that he was a special person. He's not special; he's just repeating what o

I actually disagree with the entire premise of this article, and the sentiment of that premise. This seems to be a thinly veiled attempt at censoring free speech; "you hurt my feelings, therefore you are not allowed to talk." Fran
