Disney/Pixar movies are supposed to be feel-good movies for children. Of course they don't represent reality, and they shouldn't.
"I've found the best employees often have let go of the fear of being fired. They can speak truth to power, stand up for what is right as opposed to what is expected, and they generally leave the place better than they…
Gratitude? OSS is supposed to be about donating your time, without asking for anything in return. Othetwise, you are just as bad as your perception of silicon valley.
"and that's a valid point in a country where blacks, for example, are much more likely to receive the death penalty for committing the same offences." I would really like to see these statistics from a legitimate…
"This has left artists frustrated, desperately searching for ways to stand out amongst all the noise, and furthermore, find sustainability amongst a fickle social landscape." This entire article reeks of elitism: A…
I think the issue is that many times, 'misinformation' boils down to perspective and personal views, unless it's a straight fact, which is almost never the case. It ends up being used as a way to stifle dissenting views…
This sounds exactly like what is happening right now. "All lives matter" gets you harassed and possibly fired.
I actually can't wait. As soon as I can, I'm going to wear a body camera at all times and record all footage. Why? Privacy doesn't matter anymore and in this day and age, it becomes one word against another. People are…
I think the bigger issue is just relying on an app. Most apps are a few dollars. You will not be able to sustain a steady paycheck with this kind of business model. Apps should be a freebie (not literally free in all…
We shouldn't be lauding Twitter. They have done everything in their power to stifle free speech and promote hate speech. The last straw for me was the hit squad of special interest groups they enlisted to search out and…
It's been down for weeks. This is news because......
It makes sense just based on statistics. Americans have more access to pain killers than any illegal drug and just based on this, will result in more mis-use (and death). If illegal drugs were all made legal tomorrow,…
Well, if we all start feeling the Bern, they won't have to worry: silicon valley will be gone.
This will only hurt the inner city students. I know a few teachers in some really poor areas and many teachers have to fight against unearning at home. Homework helps with this. I also don't think a student can learn…
Many are poor due to their own choices. I know many millennials that spend way too much on the newest gadgets/cell phones (I spend $30/month and get a cheap phone as opposed to the hundreds of dollars many pay on a plan…
If race is just a description of a person, why does it matter that there only 36 blacks and 73 hispanics at Facebook? Employment should be based on merit, not race. To say otherwise is........ racist.
Because it had a very disjointed user interface and most people just didn't see the point.
This is why we need to completely get rid of health insurance in the US. If Hospitals could only charge the actual value for their services, and not the inflated insurance prices, the prices would be much lower. One of…
The US already has a countless number of welfare programs. When I was growing up, we had lots of neighbors that continued to have children (and couldn't afford them) only because with each new child, they received a…
Some folks might think that donating money to an abortion clinic amounts to something just as bad, so it's really all about political beliefs. It's ridiculous to me that a group that is supposed to be against…
I've never seen a group so ready and willing to destroy their chances at future success. Ads are pretty much the only way to make a living when you are bootstrapping. These blocks, like all of the other silly things in…
Don't let the facts get in the way of a good discussion. These facts have been out for at least 5 years now and nobody cares.
This works well...unless you have physical problems and can't actually ride a bike or are elderly. Norway has long winters and short summers: http://www.expatarrivals.com/norway/weather-in-norway This is a really stupid…
"The main reason people take offense at the ALM slogan is that it seems belittling of the (very serious, and more to the point, seriously unequal) threats to their physical safety that blacks (and other minority groups)…
Seriously? Getting down voted for merely asking a question and trying to provoke actual thought? I've come to realize that the HN community is void of intellectual thought and discussion and is mostly an echo chamber. I…
