They are lying because you've never made money daytrading? As per my other comment, this is absurd. Being a profitable daytrader is very hard, and it's not probable, but definitely possible.

This is absurd. You don't know my friends, and you say they are lying? Daytrading for a single account and managing a multi-billion dollar fund are completely different strategies and need completely different skillsets. You should edu

You only need one example to disprove that something is "impossible".

My friend recently got his sons a smartphone and he says their relationship has been irrevocably damaged because of it. Not because they are rude, etc. But when they used to talk, now it's complete silence and them looking at their pho

$20,000 per year is livable in many areas of the US, especially if you have a lot of savings to back that up. The point is that saying it's "impossible" is a lie.

Impossible? Lol I have a handful of friends that do this. It's hard work but they make 5 to 6 figures consistently per year. It's very very hard, and not everyone can do it. I tried and lost a lot of money. But it's definitel

Yes. If there was some uniform standard on how support workers were trained, what data they have access to, then social engineering attacks would drop dramatically. The leaking of data would not be as prevalent and it would be standardized.

Until about 30 years ago, California voted Republican and Texas voted Democrat.

California voted against gay marriage AND legalization of marijuana. So it's not nearly as progressive as you think. It took a court case to bring gay marriage to California and a second attempt for pot.

There MUST be some sort of ISO certification for support people. Giving first line, poorly trained support people access to people's PII and the ability to change passwords is something that needs to be stopped. Social engineers are co

Last I heard from some friends in YC when considering a position there, Wepay was handling less than 10^6 payments per day. Is that still the case and is something with such low requirements a good replacement for Kafka in the wild?

You misunderstand basic law terminology. A preliminary injunction is considered very strong. So it's not that "nothing is final here", it's actually almost pretty much final unless something comes out of left field.

One of the most important questions: What is the attrition rate for the manager and for the company in general. If a manager has high attrition rate, that's definitely a red flag.

Thank you, this is exactly the point I'm making. And in this specific case, it sounds like the MIT director attempted to conceal donations from someone he knew was banned, so his resignation is just.

The question isn't about legality. It's about morality. Is it morally wrong to judge people who decide to associate with criminals after they have served their sentence? That to me is the crux of the issue here. What it sounds lik

by docker_up 7y ago
I believe in your right to do so. But what about people who feel otherwise and think that by serving out his sentence he has paid for their sins? If those people associate with criminals who have served their sentence, are those people wors

I'm perfectly okay with executing rapists, sex traffickers, etc, if that were the sentence imposed. But if you don't impose a life sentence, but then believe a person should continue to pay for their crimes after the amount determ

I don't understand the outrage. He was convicted of a crime, and he served his time. In hindsight, the sentence was too light, but as regular people are we really supposed to understand all the details? If I met someone who went to jai

I guess OP's point is that beautiful women couldn't possibly be anything more than sex trafficked women.

Even worse. You are likely in this database if even a single one of your contacts uploaded their contacts to Facebook. The probability of your phone number not being uploaded to Facebook is basically 0.

I specifically mentioned GDPR not something nebulous or not well defined. It's a level field. It appears Google has violated the GDPR, willfully even. I have no problem with execs going to jail over that.
22.
by docker_up 7y ago
Yep. Privacy violations and leaks should be punished with fines and jail time. Period. End of sentence. Just like execs have to personally sign for and are accountable for their financial statements, they should do the same thing with priva

The executives should face jail time. That would certainly light a fire under Google's ass to finally "do no evil".

Why would they want to pay people who aren't actually doing work? That's the point if they are forced to take full-time employees, those employees should be working all the time, instead of at their leisure the way it currently is

No one forces anyone to drive for Uber or Lyft. If they don't like the money they're making, they can go work at a regular job. With sub-4% unemployment there are PLENTY of jobs out there.

by docker_up 7y ago
Because part of the equation for Uber is having enough workers out there to fill demand by random chance. If they have to pay a full-time employee, they can schedule the employee and force them to drive to a certain location, and do a certa

Can there not be a law that states that Google can't just say "Your account is suspended, and the decision is final, and we won't tell you why." This sounds like the type of monopolistic action that we need to break by p

Yeah I don't know how much more people expect to be paid. It's a completely unskilled job that almost anyone can do. Complaining that $21/hr isn't enough would be insane at this point.

2015 MBP was the last best laptop. I've been suffering with a 2018 MBP as well, and I'm done. The Touchbar and the arrow keys are killing me. I'm giving them one more chance to fix their mistake with the 2019 MBP which should
