Etrade has always been doing this though.

I discovered her twitter account during the uber trial. She is hilarious and worth following.

I entered the work force in 2009. This year is the first time I feel like I know wtf I am doing.
kelukelugames··on Google to Sell Zagat to The Infatuation, an Upstart Review Site
I first heard of the infatuation when they made the news a few years ago for being tasteless. It's the same people running the company, but it's possible they've changed.
kelukelugames··on Dirt Poor: Have Fruits and Vegetables Become Less Nutritious?
I hope it's not too late to change the title. A yes/no question is against HN guidelines.

I have no idea what surf the voices mean. Or voices that we did not hear until recently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
kelukelugames··on Moral outrage in the digital age
I've never been seriously sexually assaulted or had my classmates shot in front of me. So I don't know how I would respond nor can I tell someone what is the appropriate reaction. I don't think anyone can predict how they would react. It's like Trump saying he's run into the classroom to stop the gunmen. Nobody believes that.

I fetched the quote from wikipedia. I didn't even realize Godwin was still alive. I assumed he was some long dead Greek philosopher.

>On December 2015, Godwin commented on the Nazi and fascist comparisons being made by several articles on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying: "If you're thoughtful about it and show some real awareness of history, go ahead and refer to Hitler when you talk about Trump. Or any other politician." On August 13, 2017, Godwin made similar remarks on social networking websites Facebook and Twitter with respect to the two previous days' Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, endorsing and encouraging efforts to compare its alt-right organizers to Nazis.

It's hard to say they have a huge voice. Perhaps louder than we are used too. At the end of the day, Trump is still President and the Republicans run both the House and the Senate.

Yes, it covers everything. But in the US the term "identity politics" became popular during the Civil Rights Era. So it has been used to describe issues impacting African Americans. They vote overwhelmingly Democrat, so Republicans use the term in a derogatory manner.

Well, there was the tea party.

My question was about the original Boston Tea Party. Can we claim our country was founded on outrage?

kelukelugames··on Moral outrage in the digital age
May I suggest the wikipedia page? The term has historical significance. It's usually applied to underprivileged groups and associated with democrats. For some reason no one calls it identity politics when Trump divides us into patriots and sons of bitches. Or real Americans vs coastal elites, etc.

Would you argue that dumping tea into the harbor is an act of outrage?
kelukelugames··on Moral outrage in the digital age
I have a hard time understanding why anyone thinks outrage is an inappropriate reaction to Harvey Wienstein. Guess people have different thresholds for empathy.
kelukelugames··on Moral outrage in the digital age
I feel this is what happened with protests and marches. They are much less effective today because people are used to them.
kelukelugames··on Moral outrage in the digital age
Do you have examples?

"left wing, unauthoritarian" news papers preaching xenophobia, ignorance, and bad science.

kelukelugames··on Why Women Choose Differently at Work
I prefer my reality to be based on facts. But hey to each his own!
kelukelugames··on Why Women Choose Differently at Work
Lol we are laughing about it together. Or do you mean the poor omnipotent Kings? In all fairness there is probably some poor gal out there mocking my bad tinder lines too. One even sent me a reply asking if my stupid line ever worked on anyone. That may have happened more than once.
kelukelugames··on Why Women Choose Differently at Work
The type of women I attracted tend to be type A and career oriented. I think they are the ones who want to be with someone with aligned values. Maybe they see material wealth as a signal for career success?
kelukelugames··on Why Women Choose Differently at Work
As someone who grabbed coffee with women who churned through a lot of coffee dates with dudes from Amazon, I concur. My current partner had 3-4 coffee dates lined back to back every weekend. Other girls told me similar stories. I could tell when someone tried to slot me into one of her slots and I didn't appreciate it. My buddy in SF went through the same thing. Single women are so efficient in tech dominated areas like the Silicon Valley and Seattle.

PS one of the most entertaining things to do is grab the girl's phone and read through the messages on her dating app. We men write some hilariously shitty messages. None of us are becoming an omnipotent king anytime soon.

>universities and tech giants all embrace liberalism and feminism to an extreme degree

I would say that's a bit...extreme. lol.

kelukelugames··on Why Women Choose Differently at Work
Hmmm, not even anecdotal evidence.
kelukelugames··on Why Women Choose Differently at Work
Whenever people want to discuss nature along with nurture, I'm reminded of what Neil Degrasse Tyson said about biological influence on gender roles in science.

>Except there’s plenty of evidence for the former, and close to none for the latter

> Sure you can point to a couple of ‘bad apples’

> you can point to a couple of ‘bad apples’, but you can point to far more examples where those ideologies drive organisations decision making from the top down.

I sure would love to see some citations for those opinions.

kelukelugames··on Ask HN: Why did you choose to have children?
I didn't want to because all of my worst memories were with my parents. Now I have a baby I always think about ways I can be a better parent than mine were.
kelukelugames··on How to Get Hired: From a Developer and Manager Point of View
Managers with her attitude annoyingly unrealistic, but there are some truths to it. It's difficult to convince a brand name company to hire you if you just graduated from a no name school or some bootcamp. I went to Berkeley and MIT and worked at Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. I never have to convince anyone about my passion. This article isn't for me. People with less attractive pedigrees need extras to land interviews and jobs. I give the same advice to my friends who are new to programming.

kelukelugames··on How to Get Hired: From a Developer and Manager Point of View
I recently came back from paternity leave. I talked to all of the hiring managers about my baby, because I'm one of those new parents who really likes talking about their baby. :)

Most of the managers really liked talking about their kids. One even just got back from maternity leave. But another one didn't even pretend to care my baby. That one didn't give me an offer, but that's okay because I wanted to work on a family friendly team.

Someone should write a service to see how fast posts and what kind of posts get flagged off of the front page.
kelukelugames··on Ex-Google recruiter: I was fired because I resisted “illegal” diversity efforts
Pay attention to what people do more than what people say. People vote with their feet. A senior engineer at Google can easily get a high paying job anywhere else.

A supreme court justice was asked the same question. I don't agree with it completely but think it's an interesting opinion.

>Rosen: Why is it good for men—as you said recently, there should be nine women on the Supreme Court …

>Ginsburg: No, I didn’t say there should be. The question was when will there be enough, so there’ll be enough when there are nine.

>For most of our history, except the times the court was less than nine, and the one time there were 10, they were, until Justice O’Connor, all men. And nobody thought anything was unusual about that.
