A "significant tax on goods from China" is actually precisely what Trump is saying. > Wouldn't that just mean less cheap useless crap being purchased by people who can't afford it anyway? More likely it would just cau

This piece spoke to me in a lot of ways. I’m not an adderall (or similar) user, but as a startup co-founder I can totally see the appeal of it that drives others—people much like myself—to it. The first thing that stood out to me was the no

You operate your business like a sexist byproduct of a sexist society. If it's a toxic misogynist culture that makes women feel unwelcome, so be it, it's the best measure you've (currently) got. (Except for, y'know, all

Do you have a hard time reading? "Sorry, but that is ridiculous goop." <- this is about as explicit and concrete an assertion of his opinion stated as fact as you can get. Also, you should really stop with the multiple cases of

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you should stop going out on a limb, as you're clearly very poorly informed when it comes to these matters. But here's a citation for you: http://economixcomix.com/2014&

“I can't believe that any woman” — stop right here. Whenever anyone on HN ever says this, they're really showing themselves to: 1) lack imagination 2) lack empathy (egregiously so) 3) generally be wrong about whatever follows next

Like I said in my original comment: there is a crucial difference between thinking harmful things, and acting on them. Actions matter. Thoughts that you keep to yourself? I don't care. Go nuts with that. (also I'm not a fan of the

You can be reasonable in many aspects and behaviors of your life, and be unreasonable in some that happen to matter more to the situation at hand. I think it's pretty safe to say that thinking some of your employees are lesser human be

I agree that it can quickly become murky with certain things. As I said though, actions matter. Being a libertarian is a very different thing from donating $1000 to an anti-equal rights campaign. If economic and social equality angles are o

It's not really a litmus test. Mozilla is an organization that prides itself on openness and equality, on being inclusive as an organization and a culture. This is reflected in its products, in many different ways—all of them good, gen

Something that actively reinforces the status quo by what it is, is unable to ever be “part of the solution” by its very nature. The very idea of meritocracy reinforces the status quo, by virtue of “merit” generally being defined by the p

It's disingenuous to argue that all genders need to "earn their strips and credibility through effort" when everyone who isn't male (and additionally, not white, and not straight, and not able-bodied, etc.) is actively d

Yes, being bullied for being a nerd is TOTALLY WORSE than being shot for having a different skin color, being raped for having a vagina, being murdered for being transgender, being lit on fire for being gay, earning as little as 56 cents to

Hey dude, here's a hint: perhaps these women are arguing on social media because guys like you fail to give them the basic modicum of respect as a human being, and they have to spend time fighting to be respected, which takes away from
