Disney/Pixar movies are supposed to be feel-good movies for children. Of course they don't represent reality, and they shouldn't.

"I've found the best employees often have let go of the fear of being fired. They can speak truth to power, stand up for what is right as opposed to what is expected, and they generally leave the place better than they found it. I

Gratitude? OSS is supposed to be about donating your time, without asking for anything in return. Othetwise, you are just as bad as your perception of silicon valley.

"and that's a valid point in a country where blacks, for example, are much more likely to receive the death penalty for committing the same offences." I would really like to see these statistics from a legitimate source, beca

I think the issue is that many times, 'misinformation' boils down to perspective and personal views, unless it's a straight fact, which is almost never the case. It ends up being used as a way to stifle dissenting views and c

This sounds exactly like what is happening right now. "All lives matter" gets you harassed and possibly fired.

I actually can't wait. As soon as I can, I'm going to wear a body camera at all times and record all footage. Why? Privacy doesn't matter anymore and in this day and age, it becomes one word against another. People are so e

It's in Singapore, so I'm not surprised. A business colleague of mine lives in Singapore and paid $100,000 for a driver's license. This doesn't include the 100% tax on the car and the black box that he needs to have in

I think the bigger issue is just relying on an app. Most apps are a few dollars. You will not be able to sustain a steady paycheck with this kind of business model. Apps should be a freebie (not literally free in all cases, but cheap) tha

We shouldn't be lauding Twitter. They have done everything in their power to stifle free speech and promote hate speech. The last straw for me was the hit squad of special interest groups they enlisted to search out and remove opposin

It makes sense just based on statistics. Americans have more access to pain killers than any illegal drug and just based on this, will result in more mis-use (and death). If illegal drugs were all made legal tomorrow, we would see somethin

This will only hurt the inner city students. I know a few teachers in some really poor areas and many teachers have to fight against unearning at home. Homework helps with this. I also don't think a student can learn enough in the cl

Many are poor due to their own choices. I know many millennials that spend way too much on the newest gadgets/cell phones (I spend $30/month and get a cheap phone as opposed to the hundreds of dollars many pay on a plan and a new

If race is just a description of a person, why does it matter that there only 36 blacks and 73 hispanics at Facebook? Employment should be based on merit, not race. To say otherwise is........ racist.

This is why we need to completely get rid of health insurance in the US. If Hospitals could only charge the actual value for their services, and not the inflated insurance prices, the prices would be much lower. One of my friends is a Doct

The US already has a countless number of welfare programs. When I was growing up, we had lots of neighbors that continued to have children (and couldn't afford them) only because with each new child, they received a boost in welfare.

Some folks might think that donating money to an abortion clinic amounts to something just as bad, so it's really all about political beliefs. It's ridiculous to me that a group that is supposed to be against oppression, bigotry,

I've never seen a group so ready and willing to destroy their chances at future success. Ads are pretty much the only way to make a living when you are bootstrapping. These blocks, like all of the other silly things in this community

Why is this a good thing? Shouldn't we be striving for a merit based system and not a system that benefits the few people that are able to get through the YC interview process?

Whether you would like to believe it or not, it's pretty well known that the weapons were moved. There are top-level military leaders that have described it in detail. I'm really tired of hearing this. We could also blame Bill

I disagree. For me, personally, I will only use Airbnb as a cheaper alternative to hotels (everyone I know does this too). The results are mixed. I've had people outright lie in their listing or do completely inappropriate things whi

Why would a company give another company so much power over their hiring practices? Hiring is an important skill for every successful company and the more you use these centralized services, the more you will be dependent on them. At some p
