Not being a brainless cheerleader of the HN community and saying things that are true irrelevant of how "socially acceptable" they are gets you negative karma...
Welcome to "Hacker" News, where a business degree is more relevant then a computer science degree.
More business graduates gravitating to the "tech" field full of useless piffy advice peddling themselves and their shoddy unoriginal offerings. When will these people realize they are like chefs who can't cook, nobody cares what they think.
I know I'm in the belly of the beast here but you all need to hear it.
cool, now intel can be like IBM during the holocaust and pretend they had no idea what they were supporting decades after the fact.
A well thought out and written piece that butts heads with the hyper-sensitive "tech" marketers/bloggers that infect HN like a plague gets downvoted.

I'm not American, I don't live in America, and I can to a degree I can understand all this retardation coming from a country with such a rich history of overt racism. But goddamn the internet != america and these international tech companies having to pander to you delicate tulips is getting old.
Hell, why not go after Samsung for hiring too many Koreans.
No, your the problem. Hysterical social-justice-warrior making problems where there is none. There was a study done not long ago that shows the number of people taking computer science was predominately white and male. And the fact is any company that does not have a workforce along those numbers (pinterest for example) should be considered as having suspect hiring practises.
But hey it's only bigotry against "white" "males" and it hip to be ok with that nowadays, right HN?
although the account is new I've been lurking for some time. [deleted tirade] in short, no I would not and am not surprised. this article was a nugget buried inside a mountain of irrelevant shit.
I'm always humbled when I see other peoples soldering skills. goddamn. And I love reading this type of stuff, doing things just "because". I found a rusty usb under a overpass a few months ago, after some cleaning/soldering/tricks I was finally able to read it and it turned out to be some kids schoolwork from 3 years ago haha
on a side I would suggest posting this over at hackaday, the marketers-pretending-to-be-hackers crowd here won't appreciate this.
Idiots use click bait headlines on HN, you won't believe what they did they did next!
Link to an animated gif you didn't make to your g+ account full of stupid cat gifs? HN in a nutshell.
