I feel you. Once again I'm finding HN's culture very reminiscent of the "techbro" epidemic that we are only pretending to be against. Can people here just not imagine what it would be like to be gay and also be working f

> I really think the most important part of maintaining the success of a social network is being "cool", or rather, being the social network that cool people use. Facebook hasn't been "cool" in almost 10 years. T

But this was true when Steam decided to start accepting bitcoin. There has to be some kind of profit motive behind making this decision at this point in time. I could only guess that they've forecasted a significant decline in bitcoin&

There are people who would slap you in the face for talking about their work like that. You're completely ignoring the immense R&D costs that go into creating innovative, original products.

Sexism isn't real. Men actually have it twice as hard as women, because companies hire women just to make them look good. Here's a link to one source that proves this forever. Norway hired men more often than women with genderless

Smart idea. I get a similar effect when I logout of sites like Twitter and have to face a login page when I revisit. It breaks me from my unconscious loop and lets me decide that this is not actually how I want to spend my time. Do you thin

It should be enough to raise a flag for someone at Apple to thoroughly review the app before approving it for release. Not to mention that software worth $5,000/yr isn't often, if ever, paid for through an app store.

If you have a workplace where women and minorities cannot discuss their issues without a white man butting in to whine "but what about meee?" then yes, that is a toxic work environment.

> I'm not a minority, but I think you should be asking this question to everyone, not just minorities. Everyone deserves a non-toxic environment and it's an issue everyone has to deal with. Hey OP, these are exactly the kind of

"a $1,500 USD bike that can be connected to smartphones via bluetooth and track rider statistics, such as route and speed, in real-time." So it's a bike with built in GPS? That connects to my phone, which also has GPS? What t

Am I being cynical or is this just an ad? Every other person is cancelling their subscription to NYT from a piece that went up yesterday, and now this shows up on the front page of HN the day after?

I've kept my account because I joined a local music gear buy and sell group, and the experience blows craigslist and kijiji out the water.

Modularity is a fast horse. The current state of external GPUs is like phone blocks, and I'm waiting for the iPhone. A gpu enclosure with power costs about $300 USD. An Nvidia 1060 6gb gpu also costs about $300 USD. From my perspective

This doesn't seem to be a popular idea but I think it makes a lot of sense. The issue with the idea is that you're now halfway there to an all-in-one, and I think manufacturers will just keep adding components until they get there

There is a missing product in the market right now. These high-end GPUs are all designed to fit into decade old computer cases. The pcb and chips are tiny and thin, you should be able to throw the actual guts of a GPU like a frisbee. GPU ma

It's difficult to get a good sense of 'longevity' with life expectancy stats, especially when in this case they only take an average. I can imagine that this group of people does not have modern tools and techniques for child
