There is basically 0% chance you will get in trouble for this. Worry about making your site good.

Does that say 75 feet? How on earth do you survive that?

Ok, thanks. (I think I shouldn't have used the word "just.")

I see the phrase "tone-deaf" everywhere and still don't get what it means. Is it just another getting-along-with-other-people thing?

It's a stupid headline, optimized for page views, intended for an audience of people who they think don't know better. No one's saying she isn't a clever, energetic, talented person.

Why don't adblockers work on these? Don't they just block elements based on CSS selectors? If so, why can't we collect a database of CSS selectors for the top 1000 sites, CSS classes used by popular modal popup libraries, etc

The critical question is, why haven't they charged him? It is disingenuous of them to bring up the evidence they currently have essentially in an attempt to demonize him. Their evidence is sufficient or it isn't; if it is they sho

As somebody who thinks messaging is everything, I must protest this name as bad marketing surrounding a potentially good product. Insects evoke in humans a visceral feeling of disgust and sickness. If my work tools were ever being audited I

People would still differ genetically. Right now we skirt that issue by saying that we can't control genetics, but we can control how society treats its people. But presumably someday we will have the power to control genetics, and we&

Dismissing this argument with "because women are undervalued" amounts to saying that every company thus far has been too obtuse to manage their biases and collect 23% in discounts. Say people do have widespread, subconscious bia

So is the argument that while companies can expect to save money on the whole whenever they hire women, not enough women apply? If so, women should have a much easier time finding work than men but get paid less. Is that what's happeni

The suggestion here is that even though companies can save a bunch of money by flooding their workforces with women, they are all too obtuse to do so. 77 cents on the dollar is a huge discount. Any company that exploited this would gain a

I wish comments were scored in a way that was weighted by the degree of bravery it took to write them. What a shame that most of the top comments here are boring, stand-up-for-the-vulnerable types agreed with by the majority— "women fa

JavaScript is not an object-oriented language, but a prototypical one. JS "classes" are really an attempt to use syntactic sugar to beat one concept into another. This is inherently ugly. For anyone convinced they hate JS, I encou

Secretly, I think Uber is doomed, but not so much because they fail as a business, or because they maltreat their employees. They're doomed because they're not truly building the future. Uber wants to be the world's transpo

I spent the last half hour thinking about this on and off, trying to shift my perspective. I feel sort of guilty. Advocating for objectivity and dispassionate truthseeking is the second easiest way to curry favor on HN, and it feels cheap.

Twitter always makes me sad after going on. It also makes me resent people I otherwise like, because I see them make nasty, jeering comments that they wouldn't on, say, HN. It's not because they're nasty people who jeer. It&#

Personally, I didn't find this disproportionately disrespectful. The driver makes a couple unsubstantiated claims (perfectly ok--it's a car discussion). Travis does the same. The driver starts making accusations ("you keep ch

Here's the conversation that took place: Travis: So we are reducing the number of black cars in the next few months. Fawzi: It’s good. Travis: You probably saw some email. Fawzi: I saw the email [that says] it starts in May.
