They have gone one step further, and explicitly ignored the request.

What are the odds this suddenly actually gets attention when it hits the front page?

Do you really have to publicly shame a company into action?

Stress (and being a founder is a very stressful time) is a very big no-no during pregnancy and can influence the gene expression of the baby.

"Systematic reviews have generally concluded that standard working conditions present little hazard to maternal or child health. A woman with an uncomplicated pregnancy who is employed where there are no greater potential hazards than those encountered in routine daily life may continue to work without interruption until the onset of labor."

I agree his comments were taken out of context.

I don't see where "the guy made clear he was uncomfortable" but I could guess he probably was. And again, it probably was taken out of context. However,

I don't see how his reply, in any shape or form is common sense. And it explicitly not the reason you give. "( ie: most women aren't entrepreneurs, thus there is less women wanting vc money)". He actually says, the reason is women are being mothers. That's why. But he's just old fashioned. And then guesses that most women prioritize that "[my wife] would rather be a mother and be with our kids" with respect to # of female ent.

And she took offense to that -- and so do I.

Where is she playing the victim, exactly?

I'm trying to give your comment the benefit of the doubt, but I can't help but read that as "well, beggers can't be choosers so just deal with it".

I suppose that VCs can compare you to whomever and whatever they like

Generally true of all people, not just VC. Is it not, therefore, reasonable then to in turn judge said person for that behavior?

when they have money that you are professionally begging for.

Which is cool because they are in the position of power?

Could you clarify? The author did not take the money. Politely declined and moved on.

Rebrand until it sticks?

He graduated from MIT in 2009 ... he may not have the slightest idea what else he could possibly do instead.

There's endless ways we could speculate about why he's doing what he's doing, but is being six years out of school one of them?

He spent "his entire professional career" (5 years!!!) in home cleaning. And before that it looks like he spent four years at MIT majoring in chemical engineering.

very juvenile view here

What an absurd characterization. I get that you don't agree with this person, but what -- if anything -- did this person say that was juvenile?

I use and like both python and go. The presentation mirrors my own experiences, though I haven't come back again yet.

The implication being that you did not complete your training. I'm curious -- if you don't mind the derailment -- why not?

My spouse -- an md -- cringed a bit when I read your post. And not because it's not well meaning, or important, but because without qualifying what "comprehensive health check" means, that check could very well do you more harm than good.

So, yes. Please find a good primary care physician you trust and visit on an annual basis. Make sure you update that phsyician with what's going on in your life. That includes any family history, pain, issues etc. When in doubt, see another physician. But please don't go out and get a full MRI of your body just because (which, you are not saying, but does happen). There are enough VOMITs[0] in the course of normal defensive medicine. Don't go looking for problems because -- although they'll definitely help you look -- you might not be better off for it.

Miami officials allowed them a place to go: Brickell. But in the 1970s, it began attracting small banks, and in the decades since has boomed into the “Wall Street of Miami."

The reason why Miami has "avoided gentrification" is multifaceted and complex. But it wasn't due to some top-down city planning, I can assure you.

Painting the "history of Brickell" as some sort of strategy to avoid gentrification is comically false. Brickell and those small banks therein were largely built with laundered drug money. The -- mostly commercial & real estate focused -- banking sector in Miami is not what the author would have you picture. While the cocaine cowboy days are long over, Miami feels less like a mini-wall street and more like a sofa to shove money under if you happen to live in a less stable nation; and the investment capital flow in this city represents that.

"Although we are sad to see Andrew leave, Tor is entering an exciting period of growth. "

Why not stop at Andrew is leaving? The whole "exciting period of growth" thing feels tacked on and forced. Reminds me of the type of stuff managers say after a layoff.

tl;dr - I'm upset because the raison d'etat for Go's name doesn't exist.

Correct, no -- practical, probably. No matter how many gophers swear that {searchterm} + go returns just as good of results as {searchterm}+golang, it just isn't true.

Maybe I'm just bitter because the reason Go was named Go was because -- and obviously I'm paraphrasing here... "we thought Oogle would be a really cool name for a debugger."

Years later, here I am stuck searching {some search term} + GOLANG and step debugging with GDB.

The worst part though is hearing people tell me, "Oh you know what, I realize how powerful printline statements and unit tests are for debugging! I don't even miss a debugger!" Or-- "have you tried GDB? Go Supports GDB! I haven't used it -- but it exists!" GDB is a god damn hate machine. And the chorus of "print statements are good enough" is motivated reasoning at its finest.

edit: This wasn't a productive comment.

I'm going to try and not come off as frustrated, but as someone who really enjoys and sees a place for both languages, I'm getting a little tired of the rust vs go zero-sum game thing here on HN. And at least you end your first paragraph with the acknowledgment that it's really "Apples to oranges really though." But -- since you did write that paragraph I'm going to address your points.

Rust is an epic and amazingly rewarding to learn

I liked learning it too because it filled a pain point I've been feeling for years when it comes to systems programming. Can you specifically explain a bit why its "epic" and "amazingly rewarding" to learn?

Rust is far and away the most modern, state of the art and most important programming language of our time

Holy guacamole that's quite the assertion by someone who, by their own admission, is still learning the language, how do you feel qualified to make such a ... well.. hyperbolic statement?

Go compiles easily (pay for it later!) By easily, I assume you mean quickly. How do you pay for it later?

there's a lot of guarantees

Like what?

After picking up Rust I feel like Go just offers nothing.

Why?

Why not use Java or .Net instead of Go? Highly unlikely Go will be more performant than the JVM.

It already is, in some ways. Can you be more specific?

Want something less safe and easier to write in, why not use Python, etc?

Go is less safe than rust?

You can't write real time systems in Go and you never will be able to. You probably shouldn't write "systems" programs in Go.

Why do you personally think that? For example, I'd say that Rust gives you more control over memory. And has smaller binary sizes. But still, I've been frustrated by the overall size of binaries in both languages. Go in particular makes embedded programming near impossible (I was hoping to write software for my MIPS router in Go but was unhappy to discovery a nearly 12 MB binary file)

Go has a couple built-in features that other languages can and will get with library addition. Go is a 1-trick pony I feel sometimes. It's an "in thing" that doesn't serve much of a purpose overall I feel. It looks like C but lets face it, it's nothing like it in terms of performance and never will be. It isn't a replacement for C.

Why do you get the impression that is Go's purpose?

Is it Google looking at the same strategy as Sun/Oracle and Microsoft? Who knows.

Which is what, exactly?

it feels like a regression

From what? Why?

Developers, developers, developers!

Oh my god, you are a troll bot.

I feel like Meteor has been floating along for along time without significant traction beyond toy-projects. I remember seeing (I think?) Meteor at Djangocon and being impressed, but feeling like using it was an all or nothing decision given the pace of how quickly front end development was -- and still is -- changing.

A year or two later I looked at it for a small project but saw it was still exclusively tied to mongoDB.

Are there any major sites or businesses using meteor?

Sure! In order:

A Debugger.

Better IDE options.

Binary sizes small enough to use for embedded programming.

Pauseless Garbage Collector.

Less awkward variable declaration.

which means a lot of copy and paste

Again, I don't think Go is perfect but on my list of wants, generics are not in the top 5. Can you qualify "a lot" in a real project you've worked on? Because after writing a good chunk (over 50k lines) of Go code, I haven't felt the sting as much as I hear it complained about.

the lack of idiomatic way to deal with dependencies(no defacto package manager

Again, is this really a big deal? There's plenty of options, and if you are shipping any-type of commercial product you are going to want to be vendoring your dependencies in-house anyway. In which case, depending on something like NPM/remote maven repos is not a viable options anyway.

You know, I've heard this a few times recently and it strikes me as motivated reasoning. Yes, built in unit testing and tooling is great. Vet and fmt are helpful. Static typing rocks. But... I would definitely welcome a proper debugger.

I agree. And not for nothing, I'm shipping production code, at a real company, with real customers, with real revenue (250m+).

Here's the deal -- all programming languages are just tools. Go's great because it's small enough to keep in your head, and simple. It's fast. It promotes composition. And it has sane concurrency. And quite honestly, I am more productive for the things Go left out then it includes. That's not to say Go is a perfect (e.g. a 'real' debugger option), and it doesn't have to be. If you love Rust, or Ruby, or whatever, great. The programming language landscape is not a zero sum game.

tl;dr Go's a fine tool to get stuff done for a large set of problem domains.

Heaven forbid you read the comments section before the actual article. His point:

The bubble today comes from private investors who are investing in apps and small tech companies. ... Why ? Because there is ZERO liquidity for any of those investments. None. Zero. Zip.

Is he wrong?

Where are you reading into that?

The cash prizes are inconsequential compared to the liability a physician would take on. There are exactly zero insurance carriers that would cover any malpractice claim as a result of consulting on this site. Despite what the FAQ says about this "not constituting a doctor patient relationship." Good luck with that in court.

Bruce Lee was pragmatic.

How do you handle professional liability for these expert opinions? Medical malpractice is a very real thing.
