That's an extreme example that I'm not really referencing here. Of course I feel sad when something extreme happens, like a loved one dies. A lot of people romanticize the idea of men crying over smaller things. For example, someo

To be clear I'm not saying that if you've ever cried then you're not manly. And I'm not saying I've never cried. But the times I've cried are for some exceptionally emotional moments. Loss of my father, for exa

As a male who identifies with this trait, why? Most emotions seem to just hold you back. Why cry about a situation when you should more likely focus your energy into finding a solution? For me it's not that emotions are so much "s

The HN response here is a pretty good demo with regards to why large scale companies have a hard time trying out new things, IMO. And why smaller companies are able to bubble to the top on occasion. This is clearly a pet project of some sor

Ah yes. When I let someone borrow my phone or computer I totally think they should be allowed to install whatever spyware they want. It's my fault I didn't have them accept a TOS.

Bull. Shit. "We got situated in the store, double checked with an employee that it was ok to shoot video" There was no consent to install software onto their computers. They just tried to find some consent loophole.

I don't know NYC in 2003, but that was nearly 2 decades ago at this point. A lot has changed in 18 years. Hell, 2003 was the first time the subway systems stopped taking coins.
