Maybe he was missing a couple things, but it's not far off. Go to college for a major that has high economic value. Continue building your skills after college. Live below your means. I'd like to see data on people who do all of t

It's all about incentives! They make money on ads, the more the better.

Thanks for the response! This really shows the lack of clarity in your thinking. We can review each item quickly: 1. He could honor people doing racial justice work - Does not doing this make someone a racist? Silly. Also, here is a direct

That's literally exactly what happened. Why even ask? What response could you have possibly gotten that would have changed your mind? I have seen a ton of examples where people think trump is being racist, then I see them, and he'

See this is what I'm talking about. Can you not see your confirmation bias? 1. Ask for proof 2. Get proof 3. Call it "lip service" This means that no matter what Trump says, you will say its disingenuous. Do you see how that

This is the real question :) Of course it will be by some far left leaning person. Zuckerberg said they have content moderation and consult with many many groups and the interviewer asked for ONE example of a conservative group they consult

Get as many internships as possible. All that matters.

It's a good question. By garbage here I mean their entire existence is based on wasting people's time and then making money by showing Ads. Their entire incentive structure is to get people as addicted as possible. They are not tr

...... what? This is an example that capitalism does work. If someone wants to live in Random City A then Facebook will still have to compete with the local wages there to get people to work for them. The labor market is supply and demand d

+1. All the snowflakes will cry about "unfair" whine whine. And ignore reality. As per usual! There is no logical reason why they wouldn't pay based on location.

"should". Why? Their job is to be as profitable as possible.

by bbrree66 6y ago
Your pay is a function of supply and demand here, not value provided. Working for a company is an opt-in choice, so it's not theft. If you want a better agreement go work somewhere else. And when enough people do that, pay will go up t

My response that got flagged was "This is the only reasonable response in this entire post." Clearly it was being flagged for disagreement to the HN echo chamber. There is nothing offensive or personal in that statement.

You'd have to define that, but I think it's a great and practical solution. As more people find out about factory farming and think through the implications of their purchases, they will continue to switch over.

Please show me the ad hominem. I said I think you may be purposefully misunderstanding, that is not ad hominem Where did I avoid the fact that people eat meat? And where did I avoid the fact that there are rough deaths in the wild? I addres

by bbrree66 6y ago
Stop eating meat.
22.
by bbrree66 6y ago
This is a red herring. Let's start with the suffering that we are purposely creating, in mass. The numbers of factory-farmed animals dying dwarfs anything else.

by bbrree66 6y ago
I'm not sure if you're purposely trying to miss the point or not. Yes, there are no good options for the bad situation we are now in. My point is that we can avoid situations like this in the future. I hope your snarky comment abo

by bbrree66 6y ago
Yes, I am speaking generally that we can avoid situations like this going forward by not doing it in the first place.

by bbrree66 6y ago
Let's start with the human-created suffering then we can discuss this question.
26.
by bbrree66 6y ago
I'm not sure if you're purposely being silly or what.... But I will spell it out. If people stopped demanding meat, then factory farms wouldn't breed these animals, and the suffering for them would end.
27.
by bbrree66 6y ago
Animals in the wild are not animals that we created. Your argument is irrelevant.
28.
by bbrree66 6y ago
That is illogical. That's like saying: I chopped someone's arm off so the only humane thing is to shoot them. Maybe don't do the terrible thing in the first place (breeding them to be slaughtered), and you won't have thi

by bbrree66 6y ago
This is a crazy thought so please keep an open mind........ if we didn't mass produce animals to kill and eat them.... we wouldn't have this issue in the first place.

by bbrree66 6y ago
Please define humane. Killing an animal that doesn't want to die is not humane.
