What else would you call students voting for loan forgiveness? Point blank the candidate is effectively saying, "we will give you $xx,xxx" in the form of loan forgiveness. It is the same for healthcare. This is a literal voting fo

Fundamentally, it is disgusting we are forced by government to buy insurance products (e.g., car, health) provided by for-profit companies; however, I do not support universal healthcare either. The government has zero ability to control it

Neat product, we rolled something similar to this using Slack where we manage the phone system, etc. I especially like how you can reply within Slack and text back the customer. Seems like your major problem with this startup is usage costs

There's no need to fit the post into a larger narrative; it is what it is. Seems more like you may be projecting your psychology or fears onto the article. It's just a list of pricing psychology tricks. And it cuts both ways you k

It's you. Your last question is loaded; it assumes maximizing profit is bad. In practice high profit margins are often a reward for being first to market. Maybe those high margins are a recompense for R&D costs. Plenty of answers t

Except the Regressive Left is doing a good job proving they aren't all that open minded. The new liberal coming out of college campuses from safe spaces is not open minded at all. So perhaps in the past Liberals could make the claim of

Yep. I received a similar score (73% liberal) and consider myself in-between Libertarian and Conservative. The test is totally bogus.

Then we can argue about the definition of safe, or the reasonable expectation of safety. But it seems that Hacker News would rather point to one example which apparently "invalidates" the claim "handily". What do you con

Your comment shows the level of misinformation and reputation damage done by media and various social movements. America is safe for all law-abiding persons. Not only do I disagree with your comment, but I find it offensive that you would p

One of the last consumer-facing, blockbuster level startups outside of SV (or California) that comes to mind was Groupon. But I don't consider them to be that great; kind of a fad that took off for a while and is now lingering. When I

Snapchat obliterated Facebook's news feed with the younger generations under 25. Status updates are now Snapchat stories, and news feed items on Facebook are more like life milestones. So I think it changes the way younger demographics

Silicon Valley hasn't released a blockbuster app, website or company in a while. Particularly social media companies that upend the rest of the world and the way it functions. The directly consumer facing / social companies really

Sorry. I understand the sentiment behind this but disagree with advisory or demands to speak a certain way. It's blatant political correctness and nobody has an obligation to set another person's expectation regarding coding. In c

If this were to actually happen I would consider it bad news for independent journalism and dangerous for some political viewpoints, even in the United States. Google already owns one of the largest social media platforms: YouTube. Both Twi

It's true. I'm inclined to vouch for this so any unfamiliar get a sense of the culture surrounding cryptocurrencies. There is a religiousness to digital currencies. They almost have to be this way, because their initial value depe

Well, I enjoy the doomsday economy predictions. Probably due to holding a negative view of fiat currency. He was one of the few pointing out systemic issues before the 2008 crises and is consistent ideologically and politically. If you don&
