Diamons··on Antisocial Coding: My Year at GitHub
The main takeaway should be a company has one obligation to you: a job to do and money to be paid. You as an adult bring your services to fix the problem in exchange for said compensation. Personal tesponbility is everything and Im glad she was fired. Individuals like her should be fired and removed from any workplace where they act as a menace to their coworkers.
Diamons··on Thursday night Mountain View power outage the result of a drone crash
Personal attacks not being allowed, I can understand so I'll be more mindful of that.

Uncivil" is relative. Discourse is healthy and prevalent in any society / forum. So is passionate discourse. You're making a statement / "accusation" of something encompassing a plethora of variables based entirely on one limited subjective interpretation. In short, you're wrong.

Diamons··on Ask HN: Which games are you playing in free time?
LoL, Overwatch
Diamons··on Alphabet claims Uber was hiding the self-driving tech that it allegedly copied
As any entrepreneur who believes in their own vision should imo.
Diamons··on McDonald's Real Estate: How They Really Make Their Money (2015)
Enjoyed the read overall but one line stuck out: "- I take one bite out of my cold Big Mac and eat one cold fries and throw it all out."

You have to be a special kind of asshole to throw away meat and food instead of just saying the food is cold.

Diamons··on Amazon, the world’s most remarkable firm, is just getting started
Because some believe this country won't last the next 10 years
Diamons··on Schneiderman: Spectrum-Time Warner defrauded customers on internet service
Seriously. It amazes me how ignorant some people are to what the Internet actually is.
Diamons··on Caching at Reddit
Because you're going to more or less make the same dumb decisions that the person you're criticizing made once you're in that same position dealing with a thousand different angles, people, and pressures your limited mind could not imagine before, and that's a fact.
Diamons··on Caching at Reddit
There's criticism, and there's not knowing what you're talking about. Unless one has run an online community like Reddit before, it's more than likely that that individual is playing armchair CEO.
Diamons··on Ask HN: What web framework do you use? Why did you choose it?
I've seen that line of thinking with newer devs who don't understand the right tool for the job. Unless your client specifically wants a custom solution for a custom purpose, you will spend the first week writing a CMS in Django and the next 20 recreating .1% of WP's functionality because you didn't anticipate the full list of client's needs correctly.
Diamons··on Excessive load on NTP servers
But then you need to manage a server and ensure that the time is running accurately. Why add such a large level of responsibility for little to no gain?
Diamons··on Girls' Life vs. Boys' Life? Magazine Cover Sparks Uproar
Just because you disagree with an opinion does not make it sexism. If anything it exaggerates your own self prescribed ignorance.
Diamons··on Girls' Life vs. Boys' Life? Magazine Cover Sparks Uproar
And for every Sheryl Sandberg there's 10 men. Being the exception != being the norm.
Diamons··on Kung Fu, Once Central to Hong Kong Life, Is Waning
Yes but BJJ instills confidence in you and your ability to handle a close range encounter.
Diamons··on Users Given Less Than 24 Hours to Decide Fate of Ethereum
The cynic in me is starting to wonder if all these articles about Ethereum are nothing more than PR releases.
Diamons··on Are women exiting engineering because men get the challenging assignments?
That goes against the intent of the parents though. If a parent wants a child to go into some other non-STEM field, I don't see how anyone has the right to go against that by brainwashing kids into doing something else.
Diamons··on Tesla Announces $2B Public Offering to Accelerate Model 3 Ramp Up
Twitter's been around for 10 years, and Twitter is mostly a fad. I wouldn't call it alarming.
Diamons··on Firebase expands to become a unified app platform
I use Firebase in lieu of running my own NodeJS server. I can use a backend PHP web server but still provide realtime capabilities to my app users by using Firebase as a pub/sub system.
Diamons··on NYC tech catching up to Silicon Valley, while Seattle flails
Why not? I like it.
Diamons··on T. Rowe Price Marks Down Most of Its Tech Startups
And so it begins
Diamons··on Can you fundraise in Silicon Valley while pregnant?
Yes. Nature and evolution itself tells us that its optimal to be raised by a mother and a father. To argue otherwise would be to argue against evolution.
Diamons··on Can you fundraise in Silicon Valley while pregnant?
I think women make better caretakers. A father can stay home and be the caretaker, but I think a mother will have a more positive nurturing influence on the child's life if she is there as much as she can be.

If you can afford a nanny, I wouldn't think you'd be raising funding.

Diamons··on Can you fundraise in Silicon Valley while pregnant?
A child needs all the nurturing it can get. Choosing to start a company and raise funding while a human being needs you more than it ever will is selfish as well as morally and ethically wrong.
Diamons··on The web's original sin
There are plenty of ways to make a living. If starbucks can sell you $5 coffee, you can make money from a website. But if your creativity is limited to create content + place ads, you have 0 right to bitch and moan about consumers using ad blockers.
Diamons··on The web's original sin
That's not my problem. You're not entitled to that hosting and bandwidth. If I wanted to, I could host a website off my laptop for a couple hours a day if I wanted to. There is no law of the internet that guarantees a user can be subjected to ads without their consent. The only rule is that any device with a browser can view your content across the world.

A user is not entitled to pay / reward a content creator for creating content. That content creator made the content of their own free will. A website is a tool that drives revenue. If there's something to buy or purchase, I can buy it. But a content creator cannot tell me I should not be using an ad blocker because it's how they make money.

Diamons··on The web's original sin
I don't understand. This article claims users feel entitled to free content on the internet and then goes into a rant about pricing and ad blockers while doing nothing to address the glaring fact that he himself thinks he's entitled to make money off of content.

The internet is for the people. It is a free and open service for anyone to use. The only one entitled is the content creator who feels that they have a right to make money for what they produce. Simply no. The internet is for people, not for businesses.

Diamons··on Is this prime?
I thought the same thing lol
Diamons··on Lesbians tend to earn more than heterosexual women
"LABOUR markets are hotbeds of inequality. For every dollar a white American man in full-time work earns, the average white woman earns 78 cents and the average Latina only 56 cents."

Study after study has proven this statement false when accounting for the type of work done.

Diamons··on 25 Civil Liberties Orgs Call for Open Hearings on Section 702 Surveillance
I wish there was a way to get involved with civil liberty movements like this. I strongly believe NSA spying has harmed free speech in America.

I created a very similar post not too long ago:
