Same here - it's an easy agenda to outrage about that's destroying the quality of discourse here on HN

That is a wilful and bad faith misrepresentation of the Susan Fowler situation to such a degree that I am skeptical of everything else you've just written.

With remote teams, there's no end to the tools we can use to be more efficient, productive, motivated... you get the drill.

But time-off tools are almost always an afterthought — that is, until information gaps and unplanned absences wreak havoc on project plans.

When you use all-in-one HR tools and spreadsheet hacks, some pretty hair-raising stuff happens:

1) When applying for time off is complicated, teams don't take a break

2) You lose track of who's in and who's out, and plans start to suffer

3) Overworked teammates start feeling burnt out and unhappy more often than usual

4) Too many features overwhelm your team and the pricing makes you cry.

These scarily common problems hamper the well-being of high-autonomy teams.

We've been there — so we decided to built a product internally last year to solve this.

It worked so well that we started slowly sharing it with other folks and now, more than nine months later, we're really excited to announce that our product's finally launched on Product Hunt and is currently at #3 !

Pause helps teams:

1) Take time off

2) Know colleagues' availability

3) Create transparent policies

4) Plan better together

We've built Pause to integrate with some commonly used work tools like Slack and Google Calendar so that it's easy to use and you don't have to switch contexts too much.

We're looking forward to answer any questions you folks might have!

Very interesting. The Oculus is quite a good deal at 299 USD given its technical specifications. I suspected that they were selling them below cost and subsidising them through stuff like this.

The issue is that, as a data-driven organisation I am certain that they would have assessed the likely impact of including ads on turning away users and made that the decision.

You've pointed out that you have to absorb information to be able to get to a point where you can engage with a topic - but also, there's value in having beginners discuss and analyse stuff, because they're not set onto the paths that other experts have and would be more able to connect disciplines or arrive at an insight that others might not be able to think of.

Here's the photo of Palmer Luckey with Bannon. He claims in this tweet that he was flashing the sign "ironically" as a hoax in this reply: https://twitter.com/PalmerLuckey/status/922575384817950726

> What we see for prominent conservatives, however, feels very unfair to me

I find this extremely ironic given that the slogan "facts don't care about your feelings" is attributed to conservatives in particular

A "free market" is literally defined as - "a system in which the *prices* for goods and services are self-regulated by the open market and by consumers" - all goods and services have a monetary price in such a system.

It is both inappropriate and in bad taste to call this a free market solution when it is clearly not.

> The left thinks their ideological enemies are war criminals who should be executed without trial, or even better be defamed into unemployability and homelessness and hopefully commit suicide, the ultimate triumph for the far-left mob.

This is.. false on so many levels

> many white men in general, feel they are being treated very unfairly and realize that far-left activist employees are basically being allowed to frivolously hurt them with impunity and full company backing, even if their activism hurts the other employees ability to do their work and thus the company

This is also false.

This entire comment is full of delusions of victimhood and rants against an imagined enemy. It's telling that you used a sockpuppet or a throwaway account to write this instead of an actual account. I honestly feel sad for you.
