Well done you, for bringing your values to your culturally inferior employees, and teaching them the ways of "western style management".

I'd like to understand why organisations like the Gates Foundation / NIH aren't excited by this approach? I'm assuming they've rejected this, which would explain the need to crowdfinance the next part. If they haven't rejected it, why aren't they being approached for grants?

Also, where's the science? Having something in the FAQ that states "We're awaiting publication in a peer-reviewed journal" is, to be blunt, pretty lame. Is the data and research open access? If not, why not?

> The benefits of being a white male in this society are negligible at BEST.

That's probably going to be the funniest thing I read on HN today.

Why are you trolling, kid?

Stop projecting your emotional state onto other people.

My friend thinks your friend is a bit of a coward.

Except that it's only been removed from the App Store. I still have it on my iPhone.

Are you saying that Apple shouldn't let developers stop selling an app?

And this is precisely my point, especially in the US where so many people carry guns, presumably to be able to stop people who look like they might be a threat.

But to imply that it wouldn't be even worse for someone who looks like they might be Middle-Eastern would be pretty disingenuous. I hope that's not what you mean.

Would you run around a city centre in the US shooting at people with something that looked like a gun?

Would you do it if you looked like me? I'm of Indian origin, and there's no fucking way I'd do that, not in the US.

Given the prevalence of gun ownership and concealed carry permits in the US, this is a tragedy waiting to happen.

His edit wasn't rejected by mods. It was rejected by other users who have the power to review edits. A mod has a specific meaning within SE sites.

If he'd raised an issue on meta, I'm sure a real mod would have sorted this out, or he could have just used the same account to make this edit.

Wriggling?

What is the HMS Queen Elizabeth? When did the UK ever have the sustained ability to launch into orbit?

Go back to reading the Daily Mail, son, it's a safe place for bigotry.

> I am writing this from the UK where we don't have aircraft carriers or indigenous launch capability anymore.

What are you talking about? The reason you're being downvoted is that trite, inaccurate Daily Mail-ish opinions are just dumb.

The UK doesn't have aircraft carriers because it fucked up the decommissioning / commissioning cycle. HMS Queen Elizabeth will be operational in 2020 [1]. You seem to be implying that a choice has been made to no longer have aircraft carriers in order to prioritise welfare.

And what is Trident if it's not "indigenous launch capability"? When did the UK ever possess land based missile capability?

This from the person who can't comprehend that calling a customer a terrorist is wrong.

I have no friends on HN and I tell no one when I'm submitting something and yet I've managed to post things that get to the front page fairly regularly.

> I had used the same email and pw on that account.

You used the same credentials for a social networking site as for your Bitcoin account with Coinbase? And you didn't change them once your Twitter account was hacked?

You should probably call it a relatively cheap lesson in not reusing passwords.

This isn't adapting WordPress really - it provides a starting point for theme development, which is something different from adapting WordPress.

> In a few years this could turn into a really nice , secure app.

And that would be a better time to market it as "very secure"

Ah ok, you're trolling - I should have realised.

> I have a daughter who I instruct to dress in a way that covers most of her body.

Honestly, you couldn't make stuff up like this if you tried. Amazing.

Excellent display of sympathy for the "39% [of men] who have been led astray into casual misogyny". Those poor weak lambs, unable to think for themselves.

Anyway, congratulations on reaching the upper tiers of the HN victim blaming elite. Achievement unlocked and all that.

Prove it. Who do you work for?

Yeah, always those damn Indians and their crap code. Every other country's PHP developers write amazingly elegant PHP - it's just those damn Indians.

My hosts file always contains this entry:

This ensures that there is no possibility of my giving any traffic to this utterly repugnant shitfest of a newspaper.

I would encourage everyone to do the same.

As someone purporting to be a scientist I'm surprised you even contributed this anecdote to this discussion.

So, what's the point you're trying to make - that women are offered opportunities but turn them down, and therefore there is no problem?

Learning what? I suspect they already know that the world is full of angry, immature, entitled people.

Not sure why you need to be sarcastic. It made me laugh, so I was expressing thanks for bringing some humour into my day.

> Privatizing prisons generally reduce the financial incentive to incarcerate more people.

That made me laugh - thanks :)

> all native born inhabitants were leaving.

What does that even mean?
