learningram··on An effort to ban caste discrimination in California has touched a nerve
I hate both sides of the aisle here. For fuck sake, I am mentally burnt out by these topics.
learningram··on Apple fires leader of AppleToo movement
I think you do not hate corporations just for the sake of it. There is money in the outrage business. Every movement can be sabotaged by people who have their own self interest t the forefront. It is easy to hide bad behavior under emotional issues.

learningram··on Ask HN: What is your favorite CS paper?
You really improve your persuasion skills.

>Sadly, it seems like the HN crowd won't upvote a paper that's the CS equivalent of breaking the speed of light:

Comments like this will turn people off the rest of your post.

learningram··on As a Woman in Tech, I Realized: These Are Not My People
Yes, you completely misinterpreted the who argument and twisted it to suit your view point. I think it would have been more dignified if you said you disagreed with the article. Some heights of passive aggressiveness in your comment
learningram··on The Google Memo: Four Scientists Respond
I am not sure what you call this style of arguments ? You are deviating from my point and intention.

Lets take GPA for example. Do you think 2 people getting a GPA of 3.0 are of the exact same knowledge level ? Is it possible that one has the equivalent score of 3.13 and the other has 2.87 and that they were both normalized to 3 ? Same thing with the jobs. Maybe you see this at your job too. There are going to be people more skilled at what you do and people less skilled at what you do but still pulling the same salary. The salary you earn is an approximate estimate of your skill measure but not an measure of your exact skill.

learningram··on The Google Memo: Four Scientists Respond
Capability to do work does not mean you have the same qualifications to raise your level and become the cream of the crop...ie raises or promotions.

You are the one digging the wrong rabbit hole here.

What part of application is that for ?

learningram··on I am an Uber survivor
>My paycheck is 18% less than my less qualified male colleagues.

I stopped reading after this line. Not because it cannot be true but because it reeks of agenda and made me doubt her credibility.

learningram··on Introduction to Cyber Security
What about machine learning is relevant to this textbook ?

Read this article.

learningram··on Major Investor Sues Theranos
The examples you are comparing are not similar at all.

Musk should be collecting money for the situation to be similar.

>being preternaturally competent as a fundraiser.

Why are you trying put a positive spin on this whole mess like a PR agency ? What would you describe Madoff as in that case ? A man of great persuasive ability ?

learningram··on Microsoft .NET CoreCLR is now running on FreeBSD 10.1 (amd64)
You like cabbages?
learningram··on David Horne's 1K Chess on the ZX81 (2001)
I think the analogy is wrong...

Maybe making an oscar winning movie with great CGI on $1000 is more appropriate

learningram··on Update on Julie Horvath's Departure
I think there is whole chunk of story missing.. Some context/information is missing from her allegations. The wife's behavior doesn't make sense.

Too many red flags in Julie's version. But I will wait for the complete story.

learningram··on [dead]
As a recent member(11 months), I can clearly see that shift in the kind of articles that gets posted(or upvoted to the top) on HN over the last few months. A bit too much NSA, Snowden and Bitcoin these days. Not sure what the right word for it is but "tech activism" ? Not necessarily bad but usually not something I visit HN for. The telegram thing..that is more like it
learningram··on Sent $10,701.03 to Coinbase. Still missing bitcoins.
Bitcoin news...

I have no interest in Bitcoins. Is someone gaming HN ?
