> Each side feels it had a fair shot, regardless of outcome

Yeah, but the calm fades away when a big enought amount of people realizes that they are not actually part of neither side and they get angry about it.

Some of you are forgetting something; that even if you had some form of "stadistical fairness" (whatever that may be); you still have the biggest problem of most democracies: Uneducated people; people who think an atheist shouldn't be president, people who like to reinforce their biases more than they like to have deep discussions about the nation's issues, people who were never taught to do critical thinking... and without doing exceptions for their government, their parents, their religion and the law.

No contest for "Undo send"; but lets be honest; in almost all applications undoing is the most used feature.

> I really don't think that Google cares about Outlook users (why should they).

Because they want their users to be able to communicate with Outlook users?

You are talking nonsense, they obviously need to play nice with other email hostings/clients; and with this new way of sending files it let their users know that they are two different ways of sending data; that is not really an email attachment but a link to your file in the cloud; a distinction that many times matter.

And they can't give the amount space they give in Drive to every gmail account; why would they do that? Better to be a different service that only the people interested in that kind of big cloud storage will take.

Use Redis man; I heard is really good.

How do I know the most upvoted article of the year holds that position because the sexual nature of its content? What a tought question.

I'm sorry JS master; but well, at least "Jash Kenas" sounds really cool.

Biologically biased doesn't mean it can be changed; for example we are biologically biased to be polygamous just like most mammals; but we are socially configured to be monogamous so most of us are.

They don't "have" to be told; but its sometimes a healthy reminder... and it was just an example.

The majority of secretaries are female (not all); and is no secret that sometimes people hire based on looks instead of actual skills.

Not the majority; wish is usually what is implied with the word "average."

> a) the universe is extremely large"

After seeing this answer there is only two possibilities; you are either trolling or have a psycological condition that makes you take any statement way too literal.

When people talks about a "dent on the universe" they usually mean people in the same time and age in the planet earth.

I actually am suspicious if you are being serious or just trolling, but lets answer anyway.

Lets talk about Google.

Productive in absolutely all possible ways. Cleaner? Yes Safer? Yes. Happier? Happiness can't be a metric because its way too subjective.

Cleaner? People don't need to go to a public library for any question they have; so yes. Also many people used to print before they know they could find anything anytime on the internet; so studying required a lot of printer ink and paper.

More productive? In the term that you search absolutely anything related to your field and you find it instantly; sometimes you don't even have to click the page because the summary already answer your question. The pages saved in cache are awesome feature.

Safer? People relies on their own gut much less than before; instead they do a quick search in Google about how to do something wish usually includes safety recommendations about the task.

I know I am giving Google properties that are part of overall internet; but if a house doesn't have any entering door It is useless doesn't matter how full and complete is inside.

Google and Facebook. Like it or not those two are already in the double-digit percentage.

Wish is weird, because they copy pasted from the list of Jash Kenas where it is included: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-lang...

Yeah, that is why I said "average". The average reader here is a white straight male engineer who is not interested in putting things on his rectum.

> I find it hard to believe that an equally detailed and well-written post from a male perspective would not be received in much the same way.

I can only assume that you are very naive; for the average male is impossible to read this article without imaging a woman using the device; wish does not mean that there aren't legitimate and interesting discussions in this thread; but is clear that the exponential popularity grow of this article is strongly correlated with that fact.

We have completly different definitions for that word then.

For example If a boss needs to hire a good secretary for one of his employees; and assign him the task of finding one and then tells him "Don't let your hormones decide for you" is pretty clear what he means; that sexual attraction and gender should be irrelevant in the selection proccess and he should focus in practical skills a secretary should have. And there is nothing sexist about that; because sexism is discrimination based on gender and this is an enforcement for the lack of that kind of discrimination.

May be, but it lets luck play a bigger role and looks like an abusable feature.

I like yor attempt at emotional manipulation, labeling as "awkward" people trying to have a civilized discussion about a strong bias and doble-standard; also calling it sexist when if anything we are asking for gender neutrality wish is the opposite of sexism for all I care.

Being biologically biased is not "bad faith", is just a well known human trait.

It has everything to do with gender, a man hacking a fleshlight would get none or almost none upvotes, I bet it would even get flagged by a few. Its a predictable fantasy of the average reader of HN, the equivalent of a photo of a pretty woman doing charity with a cat in reddit.

Is not only the fact that she is a woman, is the surrounding context of a sexual stimulation device that provoque so many upvotes. Personally I would downvote this if I could, I don't like my tech articles biased by hormones.

That is not sarcastic, I bet most Americans would like to see her naked, for curiosity or/and hormonal predisposition. Maybe the word you were looking for was "comical".

Decriminalization for all substances but legal production only for the ones that do not severely harm the body in short-term (not heroin, crack, crystal meth and similar ones)

The correlation with institutions is also a very useful to figure out someone's economic situation. For example if all your friends are in Harvard chances are that you are not poor; and that ads about expensive/luxury services will convert better than for most people.

The quality of Facebook ads is so shady that I fear this will bring nothing good for the users.

Speaking of wish the most common ads I get in Facebook are those where they trick people into agreeing to get expensive and recurrent SMS messages; like a parasite of your wallet. That should be illegal.

A more transparent internet where all the sites are abusing their knowledge of the algorithm to improve page ranking.

Yes; is happening a lot. But I don't think it matters too much because after they inform you the natural response is to try again; and then it works.

No; is extremely easy man; specially if you have experience using Javascript in browser; I will post some tutorials in the future about how to be efficient debugging and developing in Node.JS

New start up idea; propose the same deal to everyone that is likely to not fight in court.

What I don't understand is why people don't get ready to take the hit; use a cached static version, use varnish, get more instances; just don't let it go down.
