Another one is nemesis, which now refers to a long standing enemy, as well as the older meaning of a Greek goddess of vengeance.

Don't imply or wink and nudge. Say what you mean to say. Your example is either a non sequiter like mine, or it's implying something while avoiding saying the actual thing you are trying to convey.

Anyone who would fund or build this is, in my mind, taxonomically evil. Maybe not irretrievably so, but YC would need to do a lot of work in my mind to not be "that form that believes the panopticon and dehumanization is good."

This isn't just run of the mill capitalism bad, this is truly exceptionally vile and staining.

What do you think the purpose of VC vetting is? It's right there in the name: Capital. You know the thing they optimize for is capital, right?

#1 reasonably high? We turn down plenty of Stanford grads. What's their GitHub like?

#2 degree basically never comes up, except if someone is saying they had an atypical degree path. And institution? Never, unless it's a part of someone's identity and they are a big "I am a college team guy"

Sure you do. The poster was polite, got an extremely rude response, and has no obligation to be polite afterwards.

Airing their shit out is a disclosure of a vulnerability, and it's important to do. Typically you reach out to say, "how would you prefer I do this?" And work through a common understanding. The company flipped the bird, so it got aired very publicly.

This assumes the genocide has ended, which it very much has not. In what year did Native American parents receive the right to choose not to send their kids to a boarding school?

1978.

Until 1978, Native American families were being separated against their will.

To say that no one currently alive screwed then over is absurd. This month, the President made motions to try and remove birthright citizenship for indigenous people.

No, there are absolutely people still alive who screwed them over.

I don't think it was lack of experts. I suspect the UI people are professionals.

I much more strongly suspect it was "we're going to hire one person to do the work of three" and the result was "get it working as quick as I can".

I agree, sold my car awhile back. It's not really needed.

Not in my industry (software engineering). Hiring managers barely care about what school you went to. It might afford you more career fair opportunities, but that's about it.

Now, some schools will give you more educational opportunities and better education, but honestly? The margins aren't that huge.

Bragging about where your kid goes to school is extremely common. It signals not only what can you afford (like a car), but also lets you buy and display a bunch of gear. (University name) Dad is like a super common apparel and bumper sticker item. And having, e.g., Stanford Dad is more prestigious than eg New Mexico State Dad apparel.

I mean, put some live shrimp on a plate and I'm sure people will not feel great about it either.

People have eaten bugs around the world forever, from prehistory to modern times.

Scorpions, snails, ants, silkworms, grasshoppers, bees, and yes, mealworms, all have long long long histories of being a part of human diets. See also Carmine and shellac.

You live a sheltered life that hasn't been exposed to this extremely normal phenomena.

Good luck to the people being held prisoner in these hubs. Hopefully they can escape the abuse and violence, and not just be trafficked to another hub.
