I'd just like to share, for those who didn't study psychology and don't know of the sex differences (ON AVERAGE) between men and women, it IS a scientifically established phenomenon, ev…

I know nothing about the "CEO should be fired" link (nor does it sound like something I'd want to read). But I can wholeheartedly agree that this is one of the deepest, most emotional d…

I think the inconsistency I see, is that those who wrote letters of complaint about him did so out of a political agenda. I see this argument being used unilaterally. You could just as easily say to t…

I think the author doesn't understand the small-function-philosophy (at least not the same way I do). Let me clarify how I see it: - Build a ton of small functions that are reusable across any pr…

I have no idea what you're saying. You're arguing that because it is simply designed it's not brutalist? The whole definition of brutalism is minimal distraction/complexity. The …

Pretty sure HN is brutalism (along with CL, and possible even google). I don't imagine a designer was hired at all for the process.

This is nothing short of a potential revolution. There are a wide number of illness in humans we don't understand, and have been making almost no progress on. For example near-sightedness. We kno…

I'm not going to read any of them, because I looked at their titles. Not saying it's fair, but I'm just done with "How to make your team inspired in love you!" stories by peop…

So... let's be reasonable here. If our goal is to protect those individuals, wouldn't you simply use those questions anonymously...?

Sounds like an excuse to me. At least I don't see what online criticism has to do with having a town-hall, by moving the discussion in-person it prevents online sniping, no? Edit: All that said, …

People are rightly criticizing this study, but for the wrong reasons. 1. There is no establishment of causality, but the article pretends there is. People who use marijuana may use it because they h…

What the hell. What possible good for Cuba could this do? (Don't answer that, none, it's time to accept the post-war era is here and you should get your power-game urges out in a video game…

I'm a little confused by this. Here is how I'd summarize what I think I'm hearing: 1. Tolerance isn't a moral value, but is a pragmatic value [why?] 2. Therefore, only people who a…

You perfectly exemplify the problem with that remark. Imagine if pro-life people said that "No your pro-choice belief isn't an opinion, it's institutionalized murder and it triggers me …

Is your argument if you take a statement and alter it fundamentally to make it about race and the new altered statement is offensive then the original statement was offensive?

This is an incredibly well-written article. I wish I had the emotional distance and mastery of english express myself with such grace. Unfortunately for me (and everyone) it takes me a lot longer to f…

Here's the writing on the wall that I think is being ignored: google has thousands of employees, with all types of opinions. I guarantee you some of those people have controversial opinions, and …

Maybe he felt very strongly. Nobody thanked Rosa Parks when she made a big hubbub on the bus, but she believed in something, and history eventually proved her right. Regardless of whether you agree wi…

Imagine this AI had access to the internet (after all, it'd be using cloud resources). Suppose it was smarter than the smartest human ever. I'm not that smart, and here's some things I …

I find this article long and if anything seems to detract credibility from a meaningful and well-considered academic topic ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existential_risk_from_art…

I guess that's a fair enough explanation of the original question being downvoted. However that same logic couldn't really justify the downvoting of my follow-up "could anybody who down…

Well then I don't understand on what basis he's saying "It always feels optimistic and silly. It always feels like spin." If you tell the honest truth "We may fail, I'm n…

Well, if your model of company behavior is the Gervais principle (imho a great model) aren't you conceding that it's not a meritocracy? >>> I'm not even sure what you mean by t…

I wasn't implying it was against the community guidelines. What I was suggesting was that new hardware always comes out and it's always bigger/faster (and even 2x improvement isn't…

Well I'm skeptical, but it was a genuine question. I am doubly skeptical that the best response to skepticism is downvoting rather than articulating a response.

I'd also like to point out the above question got downvoted to -4 as well.

I don't understand what you're saying. It sounds like you're saying the solution to corporate dishonesty is quitting? I don't mind companies that try to make money, I like to make …

>> They are entirely about trust: How much does the company trust you to be able to act in its best interest and derive ROI from your org? No, not really. Here are some example counterpoints: - …

What? I don't understand what you're saying here. It sounds like you're conflating negativity and honesty. Honesty may or may not be negative. If you're Tesla, you can stand proud …
