Probably a better title would be "It's okay to be an employee, too."

This sounds similar to feedback I just got on my dissertation's conclusion section. They told me to rewrite it, noting that it should be different, but they weren't sure how. Asked for more detail, they said, "Make it punchier."

Because plagiarism is stealing ideas or words that someone worked hard to create. It's dishonest, among other things. Also, if you're interested in why we quote and cite sources, I recommend reading Anthony Grafton's history of the footnote!

You can totally repeat excellent wording verbatim! It's just that you have to add quotation marks and cite your source.

SUCH a great idea. Is the platform also open to broader art and craft forms (beyond traditional "art") - say quiltmakers or knitters/other fiber artists?

Canadian west coast! Vancouver & Victoria.

Yes, I do carry a travel mug - specifically one with a removable filter for loose tea. (I actually also have a model where the internal loose-tea-holding-pod can be retracted from the water with a little lever! I think that one's made by Aladdin.)

The university campus where I work, and the city I live in, are both extremely pro-reusable cup, and most places give you a small discount when you use one too.

(ETA Ugh it looks like this thread got killed, annoying.)

I'm a big tea drinker and would love to see more high quality loose teas available for grab & go. However, I would not be as likely to use TeaBOT if I couldn't use my own reusable cup. Do you have any plans to produce and/or market reusable cups to work with the machine, with the (seemingly) popular filter lid?

(I'd also rather be able to control the steeping time, but I get that that's hard to manage in a to go situation.)

I have noticed this too, find it deeply frustrating, and concede that it's a major reason why I find myself feeling less welcome here and less interested in being part of the HN community.

The answer about the McLaren is my favourite of the bunch.

I think the point about higher education being just a means to an end these days is spot on. The product plug at the end is not especially well-integrated into the otherwise interesting and reflective article, though.

I recently learned (via expensive vet visits) that some cats do need to have their teeth brushed daily, or else they risk decay and tooth loss. It's not just vet bs!

Are you asking whether the existence of a group for people who identify as female and are interested in Go is evidence that "tech diversity has gone too far"?

I think the answer is no.
