I suspect it wasn't mentioned because any criticism of capitalism or neoliberalism here runs counter to HN groupthink and gets downvoted. But my dick is still six inches long regardless of how many downvotes I get so…
Alan Turing, a hero murdered by his own country because he liked a good stiff one up the arse.
Sure it can, but you know what? I think "traditional family values" as defined by USian conservatives are abject nonsense and the only "meaningful" relationships are the ones you create for yourself for no other reason…
> You are going to get more people to see your post if you put it on Medium. You are going to get more "friends" if you are on Facebook. You are going to interact with more people if you are on Twitter. That's the whole…
Why am I not surprised that Kay Hymowitz, author of Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys, is also responsible for this reactionary screed that blames the loneliness epidemic on the decline of…
IMO, every browser should handle JavaScript the way it handles cookies. The user should be allowed to: 1. run all JS regardless of source 2. reject all JS from sites other than the ones they're visiting 3. run all…
Will Bruce Wayne sparkle in sunlight?
If you don't want poor people to have kids, then conservatives need to get off their high horse and accept that they must help make reliable fertility control cheap and accessible. No matter what you believe, think, or…
Fair warning to anybody thinking of using Librem Social: it's a Mastodon instance whose management seems willing to tolerate speech that most of the rest of the Fediverse finds objectionable. Don't expect that you'll be…

Diversity in tech is a joke, and will remain such as long as businesses can hide discrimination behind "culture fit".

Telegram is spyware, just like WhatsApp.
Ten bucks a month? For instant messaging? Did you think this through?
They might not see explicit advertisements, but they're getting exposed to a metric assload of product placement.
I'm not surprised. Advertising is nothing but private-sector psyops.
If Kickstarter will not voluntarily recognize the union, then the union should go on strike and remain on strike until Kickstarter recognizes them.
> Can we not make it illegal punishable with the death sentence? I think all spammers should be dealt with in the manner Vlad Tepes used to deal with Turks, criminals, and people who talk at the theater. However, we're…
We could just get rid of our telephones. Let's be honest here: when was the last time you were actually happy to make or receive a phone call? It's time to KonMari this tech into the nearest dumpster.
I guess you're one of those passionate techies that founders love, rather than a mercenary.
It's not a "windfall". They did the work. They made that wealth possible. They earned every bit of it.
> They learn / don't learn that skill from kidfluencers on YouTube. Thanks for giving me a new excuse for being a misanthrope.
I only chose college because the pressure from my family was such that I had only two "valid" choices: 1. Go to college 2. Enlist in the military I would have preferred to have gone to a decent trade school and learned…
I've made secondhand optical media my fault because I'm sick of paying rent.
It's easy to measure workers by how many hours their ass is in their seat per day, so that's what gets measured and that's how we're judged. I'm tempted to say I'd rather be paid per bug/feature, with the pay rate…
