Vastly? Like the vast reaches of outer space? Wow... Because things are laws is the reason the US has been able to maintain its democracy (constitutional republic) for as long as it has. So yes. Picking and choosing what laws you want to fo

You fail to see my experience (as anecdotal as it was) as relevant and yet, you compare what is currently happening to Jews being gassed in Nazi Germany. I really don't understand you leftist. Godwin's law...try listening to some

You all are aware that the past 6 U.S. presidents have done this sort of thing...right? Obama last did it in 2011. The hypocrisy here is that because Trump did it, it is wrong. We are a nation of laws and in order to maintain law and order,

How do you expect us to take Ycombinator and the tech community seriously when you have a large number of persons within the tech community organizing grassroots initiatives for the purpose of having California succeed the from United State

+1 For Huffington Post nonsense. That is your first problem. Stop reading that garbage.

One reason why I believe it won't matter is such: Companies require a real name. Most require social profiles or a website. If you refuse to give your real name and supporting materials, you will be passed over.

"I had heart surgery when I was 18. I was virtually uninsurable. I now have health insurance. Why we need the ACA is no more complicated than that." I am a bit confused by this story. Was Zach not covered under his families'

I am a current OMSCS student. Your situation is anecdotal at best. You are critiquing an in person experience to an online experience.

It strikes me as odd that the parent used a throwaway as well. What are they trying to hide?

>> It is not the same degree that's awarded... This is just inaccurate and a falsehood.

Yes, yes, yes. I anticipate your comment will be down voted because HN is predominately liberal.

It is my assumption that white males living in these countries are old enough to hold leadership positions. One can safely assume a 12 year old is not immigrating to China to live / work.

This problem is not limited to the US. China, India, and the rest of the world has and have had the same problem here.

It is inaccurate to use the total 5.6% here. What percentage of the 5.6% depicts Asian males who are an appropriate age to hold a leadership position? I am certain the percentage is drastically lower; 0 - 1% perhaps.

No need for a throw away here. The US has been far too liberal / progressive for too long. The scale will tip back to conservative for the next 4 - 8+ years I predict. This is natural. Also, take a look at Canada (a 3 party system). An

Take a look at Milton Friedman's thoughts as well. I believe MLK's stance was largely influenced from what he knew about Negative Income Tax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtpgkX588nM

Will you please speak to my GF! I am afraid we have different values and any time the ring conversation comes up, it ends in an argument. The last argument ended in her telling me that we shouldn't talk about it anymore.

This doesn't work. I have tried it. She (my GF) just argues with me about any purchase I try to make that is around the ballpark of what she is expecting me to pay for a ring. e.g. Her: So you want a new MacBook Pro, but you can't

I told my girlfriend (5 years) how I feel about diamonds and that I reject the very notion of buying a diamond engagement / wedding ring early on in our relationship. Several months ago, we landed on the marriage conversation, again. I
