To be clear, this article is advocating forcing people in poverty into gig economy jobs where there have been issues of low pay, terrible working conditions, and few if any employee protections. As a civilized country we should not demand t

I think it has to do with the whole 'explicitly focuses on renting out 2nd homes' deal. To me, it makes more sense to allow people to rent out properties that they own rather than units that they themselves are renting. I'm f

Buzzfeed is having a pretty rough time transitioning to an actual journalist enterprise though. They've had a few editors lately fired for outright plagiarizing a majority of their listicles, including ripping directly from Yahoo answe

When your livelihood is based entirely on your security clearance and your ability to keep working in the security industry you make it a very big point to not talk about this stuff outside of work. I had a friend who went to work for a 3-l

You just answered your own question. It is generally accepted that Facebook and Google derive a large source of their revenue from advertisement, which is in such high demand at these companies precisely because they control so much of your

Is it just me or are a lot of the comments on this post getting greyed out? I thought that was only for flagged/sufficiently downvoted comments? What the heck is going on here..

Stuff like this is great. It's like watching kids who grew up in the Twitter/FB age rediscover anonymous internet forums and imageboards like 4chan. People like anonymous services because you literally don't need to filter wh

Anybody else think the header on this page is too big? If you scroll to the bottom and take the footer into account the content is almost restricted to 1/3 of the window.

It's just a response people have built up, and they don't really think about it. When I started my current job, I had absolutely no javascript experience at all. My team lead is great, and I learned a ton from him, but he definite

I think the point is to recognize that some people, like the person you are replying to, my have an issue with drinking as a social activity. Not that you shouldn't have that as an option, but you should be aware if someone in the grou

Right. I wonder if Silicon Valley types will ever be able to move away from the faux-altruistic mindset and just acknowledge that they are interested in making more money than a single person could ever comfortably spend in 10 lifetimes. An

One point - take a look at the copy on your pricing slider. 'You Earn' makes it sound like that's all I'm going to get out of this deal. It took me a second to realize it was the difference between the dealership and ins

Having a portfolio website is necessary to get a job at the place most HN entrepreneurs are interested in running. For better or worse, a portfolio or an active github are almost necessary to land a position at a top-tier company or a start

How do they actually go about converting Dogecoin to Dollars? Evertyhing I've read and heard about Dogecoin is that it's kind of a novelty thing, so are there actually people out there who are paying to convert dollars to doge?

The problem with that is that you are then putting the onus on your users to act as your net-sec team. Basically, if your user base is unskilled to begin with (old or economically disadvantaged) and the sites that are targeted to them break

The issue that OP is concerned with is that those who are displaced don't necessarily have the means to relocate to an area and remain in the same living situation they were previously in. When you uproot lower-income residents from th

Is Portal considered more mainstream than a straight-up shooter? I would think that most run-of-the-mill COD or Battlefield players would stay away from the quirky, puzzle-y nature of Portal.

Can you actually do that? Up-convert from a lossy source so that the file reads that it's 320kbps or whatever, but sounds like its coming out of an old telephone?

Not sure if that's the route they'll want to go, seeing as how this is supposed to be limited to 25 Hours.

I think it's really disappointing when company heads do this. If you work there, you should be treated as a professional, not some little kid who gets overly excited and tries to break open the coke machine because hey - PayPal. If you

I thought the same thing on first glance. However, maybe the use case for this is rather to filter entire blocks of solid color text. One complex (red) sentence every now and then is perfectly fine, but I would rather see a whole paragraph

Perhaps someone a little more vulnerable in general might be a good idea. I think I remember reading somewhere that she basically has that seat for life.
