This "rings true" to me. That getting rid of formal managers and formal management just lets "petty office politics" rule more than usual.

After 9/11 we learned of "chatter". I have wondered what the NSA etc. can say about chatter in recent weeks. What the NSA might know. And if the NSA doesn't know, what that says about NSA efficacy.

The tweet is verifiable. That a porn party took place at that residence seems likely. There is no verification this occurred over airbnb. There is no verification that the tweets were by anyone other than the resident or owner and no verifi

That's not actually a response. You are just restating the premise. And exercising your right to be snide. What is the ample verifiable evidence in the post?

Can someone explain why we should think this tumblr post has any credibility?

I have found I often agree with Michele, but I think she makes some basic errors in this piece. 1) That most power is in the hands of a few people, who at this moment are primarily men, does not generalize to mean that most men have any pow

In the future, you can reduce your diatribe to what you actually believe "patriarchal misogynist assholes" and that will help everyone out. Your supporters as well as those who would disagree with you.

I've never understood what problem XML solves. Does XML make a file understandable by a developer in superior ways to other formats? Not especially. Does the use of XML make error recovery from a partially borked file possible? Not rea

In my limited experience it seems that torrent clients were all trying to migrate towards this and be a media browser first, torrent client second. The end result was user flight to the next upcoming torrent client. So was this a torrent cl

It seems as though China is undergoing a Keynesian expansion. So I'm probably wrong about that. I'm going to watch to see if I can figure out the difference between what they seem to trying to say is a problem due to massive gover

You and me both, brother. The coffee infused taste of cream and sweetener and vanilla is what makes my morning. Thank you for having the honesty to say what I've been ashamed to admit all these years.

This should be seen as an argument for choosing your venue, not an argument for refusing to debate. Scientists (anyone) that demands some policy be made or changed have no leg to stand on if they refuse to debate opponents. Science can take

I am somewhat pleased to learn this isn't a post about the importance of enthusiastic consent when it comes to sexual advances ( http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2014/02/27/robyn-urback-... ).

It's not foolproof. What's more foolproof is a big platform, huge megaphone, and lots of social amplification. Lots of blogger complaints, twitter campaigns have gone nowhere.

Yeah, we had that for a few years during the 90s. I forget when we lost that, but it wasn't good.

The last mile. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_mile ) Most places are wired with one phone line, and one cable line. That phone line is generally owned by one specific phone company, and that cable line is generally

As an interesting data point, watch the settings and backgrounds crowds in Dirty Harry movies to see what San Francisco looked like in the 70s.

Of course he was. He was saying that Dave Winer was "whining" about Google et. al., shifting away from RSS. Bullshit comment that I hate seeing on HN.

Ha Whiner, I see what you did there. No actual argument, just making fun of some guy's name. Very nice.

That seems completely unreasonable, but in fact, one reason I like my Galaxy Note II is that it supports a 64Gb card. (It sure ain't TouchWiz!) It is mainly the large screen though for me, but the 64Gb card holds my music collection an

I was about to change my password, when I saw "delete my account" was on the same page. On the one hand, that's a gutsy and convenient UI. However, I immediately chose to delete my account.

So to tie this back to my original question - why are we asking women to put information on a form that has no use other than to let us know if she might be a potential mate? If you make a new form, limit salutations to Dr., Mr., Ms. Wh

Looks good, though I wish it had emacs bindings to search back and forth and move through paragraphs and lines. I also wish it had support for various markdown extensions like table of contents and in page anchors. But certainly looks terri

What I am interested in is data regarding users (renters). What is their breakdown by age, sex, ethnicity, and success at booking? I am not an ugly guy, but I am 50. I tried to use airbnb twice to book in San Francisco, and each time, for v

One reason I stopped editing wikipedia was because I had some good faith edits immediately reverted by bots.

Thank you for the explanation, because the reply link wasn't there, and I said my say, AND THEN IT WAS THERE, and I felt kind of dumb. Or dumber than usual. So truly, thank you!

If I see a company engaging in any discriminatory activity, I have a reason to suspect that sort of discriminatory attitude runs rampant throughout the company right through the executive offices.

So an outreach program for women speakers can't address systematic discrimination -- you have to fix the conferences themselves for that. You can reach out to more women, and invite them to apply, but it is sexist discrimination to off
