Neurodivergent folks often need a little extra time to learn or for somebody to sit down and explain things to clearly. We do not need a carte blanche for decades of sexual harassment. That's just somebody being an asshole and using us

Yeah I agree that catching things in the moment is also great. It's all just tricky.

Author here, wasn't advocating for this. Proving intent in court is an extremely high bar, and means that a lot of stuff, such as fraud, goes unpunished. So, I'm not sure that this is appropriate for many issues, especially ones l

Customers will probably be less upset if something leaks internal to a party during a primary than they would be if something leaked to a different party.

Support doesn't have to be voluntary, and often isn't. If you are coerced into supporting the status quo, that doesn't mean you aren't supporting it, it just means you lack the freedom to make this decision.

It is possible to run into more than enough trouble with data without being a data broker.

Going to especially second that last bit. Not everybody is expressly data science, but most companies start running into some sort of data at one point or another. Campaigns aren't wrong to be concerned about who has their data. There

A really core question(/assumption in many comments) is "is a computer science education only for SV job prep?" As usual, we could stand to remember that the world doesn't revolve around us. People learn to program for a

Yeah, but there is no denying that the external structure is helpful and the dedicated office hours can be a real lifesaver.

Another way to view it would be that speakeasies thrived where the police didn't bother (or accepted discouragement) to go. Police resources are financial and political, and often stretched thin over poor or minority neighborhoods. So

...you think MC Hammer predates SV? We started out as the site where transistors were made. That is also why the ground is so horrendously toxic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Semiconductor

In a world where you have a massive backlog of good content, yes. Unfortunately, I struggle to find content which is both high quality and easy to learn from. Do you have suggestions?

This guy is nuts. Basically every article I look at I wind up reading multiple times and get new information each time. If I had the attention span to keep reading them I would probably keep learning too...

I don't think I'd ever do an embargo in a cold pitch. My experience is that cooperation is best assured with an incentive structure, and you don't really have the power in a cold email to assure any kind of incentive structur

I am not a lawyer. We operate very very differently than Chez JJ did. Because of our community focus, the vast majority of the residents in the house at any given time are long-term, and here much longer than 30 days. Even if this was not t

Didn't know how to handle this, so question merged to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14809337 Short version, we spend one long day a week on the house. There are also checkins.

We were honestly looking for advice here. I appreciate your interest, and would like to speak with my mentors before responding on the price. The first year we only operated half of the space for the first two months. The second half was de

If the company was still owned by us I do not believe a $90K salary is a given, especially prior to that person going full time to run the company at a higher efficiency. We have reason to believe our lease is good indefinitely. We think th

Another fan of Toastmasters here. If you're local to the Bay Area, my friend runs a kind and impressive chapter in Mountain View. They are called the Sierra 49ers.
