If our patent system didn't exist, the drug would have never been developed in the first place.

That's a lot of businesses. The local liquor store "injects themselves" between you and Budweiser when they sell you beer. It's not inherently evil or unethical to act as a middleman, especially when you provide addition

So what? Then the restaurant doesn't have to pay a fee. If the problem is that the delivery services are charging high fees to restaurants, then terminating the relationship with the delivery service solves that problem. If the deliver

24% of people choosing not to get a vaccine that doesn't even exist yet is significantly different from what was alleged in the parent comment, which was: > People think that vaccines have killed more people than they help A lot of

Haves and have notes is a divide that has existed for nearly the entirety of human history. It's not usually what people are referring to when they talk about the extent of the American divide currently. It's really more in refere

This makes your original complaint that they were ruining streets look even sillier. They've agreed to reverse all the damage they've done. I'm not sure how you're angry about this.

I don't even live in Europe and these policies have still caused significant harm to me. I can only imagine it's even worse for people accessing the web from Europe.

One can only hope that is the case. Otherwise, this ruling is basically a decree that journalists must give away their work for free.

No, it didn't. It worked horrible for television. Every hour of television was filled with over 15 minutes of ads. It was horrible for the consumer.

Restauranteurs opt-in to their relationship with Uber Eats. If they feel they aren't getting compensated fairly, they can opt-out. It feels quite condescending that you think you need to protect restaurants from Uber when restaurants a

I'm not sure what the Uber/Lyft apps look like from the driver perspective currently, but they could theoretically be made to accept those parameters. For example, the app could show drivers a list of nearby requested rides (picku

If they have so few options, why do you think it's a good idea to make it un-economical for them to work as taxi drivers? Uber and Lyft are already massively unprofitable. If you require them to give drivers expensive benefits, they ar

The patient presented with the exact symptoms of the virus, tested negative for other diseases that cause similar symptoms, and had two separate labs report the sample as positive for Covid. I'd say it's far more likely than not t

This is a ridiculous stance to take. If true, then open sourcing any form of software is morally corrupt since the government could then use it for evil. Quite frankly, I don't think any reasonable person would consider selling softwar

Yours is the worst of the bunch. If you have a gripe with some comment, reply to it and explain why it's wrong.

Then quit and find a job with better pay. My guess is most of them can't because they're already getting the market rate for unskilled labor.

This assumes many employers will consider him a "man of moral" for doing this. I don't think that's cut and dry. The business owners I know frequently complain about how difficult it is to fire underperforming employees.

I would guess the chance of finding any other summer work right now, let alone another technical internship, is below 50%. The way you handle this is to take the internship and be happy it didn't get cancelled entirely.

Agreed, somebody who is willing to commit a crime to advance their fringe political views is not somebody I want anywhere near my company. I can already imagine the headaches this guy will cause if he discovers the meat in the cafes was not

It's not degrading the Tesla brand though. Tesla is the second largest automaker in the world by market cap. Toyota, the only company larger than Tesla, was founded 65 years before Tesla. What Musk (and all Tesla employees) have built

Yup. Sadly, our politicians care more about getting re-elected than doing what's right for society.

Your focus on the virus spread while ignoring the tens of millions of people who have lost their jobs because of this is selfish and egocentric. I do not believe there is room for an alternative viewpoint to that.

People aren't going to be able to pay their bills regardless of whether they're locked down by mandate or by choice. However, if we allow the low-risk population to continue working, they will generate tax revenue that can be used

+1. Continuing a lockdown of this severity makes no sense. San Francisco has only had 22 Covid deaths. A city the size of SF would be expected to see 5x as many cancer deaths as that in a normal month [1] and 7x as many heart disease deaths

This seems like fitting the facts to support a narrative. I don't see how having tax-payer funded healthcare would have helped us. There are numerous countries that do have tax-payer funded healthcare that are in the exact same situati

One of the biggest risks voicing any political viewpoint is that your opponents will demand you be fired from your job because of it. If you wear a mask, it becomes much more difficult for onlookers to identify you and contact your employer

Can you explain more about why you think they would need an excuse to re-structure? If they thought their senior engineers were getting paid too much, what was stopping them from cutting their salaries before the pandemic?

That seems pretty disingenuous given that the Great Depression was the lynchpin for World War 2 which directly resulted in the deaths of 75 million people.

"Threat" is a one of the biggest weasel words I see used by the media to influence their readers. If the subject of the article is meant to be sympathetic, the media will instead use the word "warn" which is more neutral
