Figures.
You owe Merritt an apology No way. Meritt clearly attempted to shame her for writing about something that, for whatever reason, she didn't confront immediately. He's a censor. He's shaming her for protesting outside his…
No. what Merritt said that if you don't say something right there and then you should never be allowed to say anything. He's an asshole and a bully. If a victim doesn't protest withim his designated free-speech zone he…
I'm not dumb enough to try to change the stripes on a proudly bigoted jerk like Meritt. I just want anybody who sees his spew to know that his opinion is not the only one. I want any human who is harassed to know that…
> Your cause is hatred of white men and you find solace with others of the same persuasion. You are part of the reason tech is a shitty place to work.
Meritt absolutely made blaming statements. Even the most charitable reading of his post is him complaining that she decided to make clickbait. He tried to shame her and degrade her for having shared her story instead of…
I think it's absolutely disgusting that you criticize the victim for documenting what happened to her. It's despicable and downright fucking evil that you basically accuse her of sharing her story solely because she…
I sincerely doubt that a company as unethical to the bones as Uber would ever consider firing them.
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe you lack empathy for the challenges faced by women in Silicon Valley because you're a white male whose local culture is globally famous for being tolerant and inclusive? You…
I've been involved with several country/region specific immigrant entrepreneur conferences. For example, the famous video of Guy Kawasaki speaking about the Art of the Start was filmed at TiECon, which is run by The…
Such a simulation would reveal a lot about the creator's beliefs, and essentially nothing about reality.

why don't you move to a more reliable hosting, like AWS? As a fairly heavy ($x00,000/month) user of AWS, this is the funnniest and most-misguided thing I've read in a long time. AWS is horrible. It's extraordinarily…
DRM is not slavery.
> you should not be okay with DRM. It's as simple as it's: DRM is the form of slavery. Sorry Ivan, but voluntarily agreeing to access encrypted content is not comparable to slavery.
There's a difference between using legal tax structures to reduce (or eliminate) your bill, and simply not paying your taxes.
I've heard of other scenarios where the government prevented competition, but they nearly all boil down to the same core: the constituents want X, but some sort of market failure is occurring (or likely to occur) and a…
"Is anybody else genuinely annoyed that sites such as angel.co use these as legitimising signals of worthiness?" Absolutely. AngelList is all about institutional brands, and that's kind of sad. Teams are summarized by…
The government regulations aren't there to create or protect monopolies. They're there to control monopolies that were likely to occur anyway, so that the monopolists can't use their position in an overly extractive…
I strongly suggest that if you're going to espouse these opinions, you do some math first. In this case, I suggest you model rural America's density, and the cost to lay down a wire, or fiber, or whatever in a town,…
For future reference: there is a small downward facing arrow that can succinctly express your opinion.
Can't we both agree that corporations and governments abuse their power as a matter of fact? All people and institutions that have power sometimes abuse the power. Sometimes the abuse is knowing, sometimes it's…
Absolutely. Corporations do nothing but good. They bear no responsibility for their purposeful misuse of the funds. And government does nothing but bad. Swear on your stack of Ayn Rand books that the world would be…
There's an over proliferation of all conferences, and this includes niche conferences. The answer to her headline question appears to deviate from Betteridge's law, in that she concludes that some of the initiatives…
Punditry is not journalism. Journalism is not punditry. That said, I find it morally repugnant that 001sky seems to want to quash the right of either to engage in public speech, simply because said speech calls some…
If the companies didn't want you to do this, then they wouldn't let you do this. They do not want you to do this. What your friend did is considered to be a form of return fraud and abuse. The industry term for it is…
