Re:You Can't Have Denmark Without Danes on Saturday February 24, 2018 @11:20AM (#16453887)
I see this point raised a lot but the stat is fueled by Western immigrigants—not non-Western immigrants.

You can’t count a bunch of blonde German & French doctors and engineers as disrupting the fabric of society.

Denmark has less than 4% non-Western immigrants while the US has nearly 25%.

And I suppose the opposite would be useful: who are the investors you love?
Re:I Got Paid $0 from the Uber Security Bug Bounty on Sunday December 24, 2017 @03:51PM (#16001255)
This Uber company makes me so angry. I go to the Hacker News and I always see bad things about them. I just want to scream! What are they even doing for society—aside from employing hundreds of thousands of people and reducing drunk driving deaths. Doesn’t this stupid company realize that there are 500 angry journalists and technologists who don’t care about those two things.

Re:Martin Shkreli is found guilty of securities fraud on Saturday August 05, 2017 @02:19AM (#14934461)
I first met Martin over a skype call and he was very humble—his identity online is just a brand.

2 years later, I stumbled into him again and asked him for advice on affording a cancer drug for a relative. He helped me find the charities and also introduced me to a contact at the pharma company.

The internet prefers headlines over reality.

lol why are you talking about this 10 years later? aren't there bigger atrocities...
This is an absurd accusation. I've seen plenty of VCs try to recruit developers of companies that they've met with or even invested in. The Valley is tiny and it happens all the time. Moreover, not all this information is communicated to every partner, especially as it relates to seed deals.

Just pre-pend outline.com/ to any Medium link to remove it.
Re:Real name policies and ruling the world on Sunday June 18, 2017 @03:19PM (#14582346)
The real irony of these threads on HN: no one has ever run a social network. If they did, they would realize that mixing pseudonyms with real names is a formula for disaster. It’s probably the easiest way to continuously bother someone and troll groups to no end.

Pro-tip:

Add outline.com/ to the front of the article's URL. Much faster and works nicely on mobile.
