I'm with you 100%. By coincidence I made a site to direct people to various charities on HN when this post came up - it went nowhere of course. If you're looking for an option to support other charities w/o feeling like you&#

OK, so to be nice and avoid haha jokes about logical flaws, I'm reading that your argument is this --> that the article is "fundamentally a self-serving and dishonest narrative". The only point you offer that relates to yo

hey look, an appearance from the amazing mr. strawman, capable of ignoring an argument's essence in favor of contradicting lesser points to appear correct, yet totally out of context! Amazing!

no mention of inflation in your link, only PPP. The article author also goes on to state that this isn't enough / as meaningful as you're making it out to be... "And making sure everyone's making at least $1.25 a da

Yeah I see "PPP" in the picture but nowhere is there an explanation of how they accounted and adjusted for inflation on a yearly basis. A link to the actual study would be a lot more informative. At any rate it doesn't addres

It doesn't seem like this chart takes inflation of the $ into account either, making it irrelevant over time. $1.25 was a lot more valuable even 30 years ago than it is today.

nonono read the rest I love the VIM! But... there's an abundance of internet quotes like "No other editor stands next to vim" (see parent comment), so I wanted to make sure the reader didn't think I was proselytizing.

One thing I've never heard from a manager at an in office gig - "my team is ultra motivated and always, without fault, executes on time. No problems there!" My point being that with software development, even in an office, yo

This is a great idea. The technical interview is indeed a skillset (on either side of the table) and it's great to see more efforts focused on educating people to do well with them.

So the "vetting" aspect / value add for companies was the fact that you get to ask 3 technical questions w/ the initial job details. This is somewhat buried in the copy but... does it help to assuage that concern at all?

Take the "How it works" section of your Medium post - _Particularly_ the excellent screen caps - condense the text, and then make this your homepage. Reading takes more time for me to understand what your product does than looking

This is FULL of hateful rhetoric. Please remove this HN. That said, I'm glad the Venn diagram of ignorant gamers and racists have a lot of people in common.

Pretty useful ruby gem if you're using Pixlee. My lack of notable open source contributions kind of makes me self conscious; hopefully I can get over that one day!

While buying votes is probably illegal, I've had the same thought but instead of crowd funding to buy votes, we crowd fund to support politicians in elections, with one MAJOR stipulation - Taking the money crowd funded means you can accept
