NYCHacker··on Mozilla to Develop Comments Platform for New York Times and Washington Post
My point is that it's a ridiculous sum of money over a long time frame for something that's not very complicated and of questionable value.

I don't care about internet points.

$3.9m over 2 years? Give me 2 years and I'll build that for $3.8m.

NYCHacker··on The 33-year-old virgin: Life without sex is only torturous if you let it be
I'm not saying it's not an issue. I just didn't find the article informative in any way.

And I was jokingly poking fun at the HN community, which obviously seemed to hit home to a lot of people.

I think it's a fascinating issue. Personally I would never move to the Bay Area mainly due to the huge imbalance in male/female ratio.

Not that NYC is heaven in terms of dating/sex life. I definitely don't get laid left and right. But at least the opportunity is there if I so chose to pursue it (which unfortunately since I'm a dude, involves work. I wish I could just set up an OkCupid profile and filter out a maxed-out inbox of requests).

NYCHacker··on Sweden’s proposed six-hour workday
Seriously want to move to Europe now. As a U.S. citizen and web developer, how hard is this to do? Can I just get a remote job here and then move? What are the VISA issues?

My biggest concern is that my salary won't be enough to pay my ~$1k/month student loan debt.

Are there a lot of virgins on here or something? Why is this on the front page?

First off, all these things are terrible and no woman deserves to be treated like this. But the last part of #5 really has me questioning the validity of the author.

"A coworker invites me to his home under the premise of getting a few people together. When I arrive, there is no one else there. We watch TV and I go to retrieve my things to leave which are in his bedroom. His 6'4" frame blocks the door. I tell him I don't think it's a good idea for us to date. He sits on his bed, pulls me onto his lap, and sloppily puts his tongue in my mouth. He follows me home every day for four months “to hang out”. He makes me responsible for his crippling insecurity. He tells me I need to tell others we are in a relationship. He tells our boss. I resign myself and tell my friends. We live together for four years."

After all this, you lived with the guy for four years?

NYCHacker··on Can someone :help me?
Can someone explain to me why people still use Vim and Emacs? Is it more efficient than GUIs like Sublime Text?

I only ever use Vim for quick edits and fail to see how one can be more effective in it when you can't click and highlight text.
