Kind of rich for a company which pays hardly anything (if anything T all) in taxes to ask for tax revenue.

This isn't just startup culture though, it's capitalism in general. Startup culture is really just the embodiment of everything wrong with capitalism.

No the rich and powerful have choices of how to act, while the poor have very little. Additionally, the rich and powerful are the ones who have structured the system in such a way that the proletariat have very little choice in the matter.

All employers cave to labor action.

Only very recently and many haven't even raised all the way. But I agree that it's not going to solve the problem, only a maximum income can solve that.

>My guess is that while your anecdote may infuriate you, the effect of investors who don’t rent out their homes is negligible on housing prices. No that's actually a large part of housing problems. Like a third of Manhattan real est

>And that doesn't count the lifetime pension, health, early retirement some of them get. That website explicitly includes benefits, what are you talking about?

What do you mean traditional car companies not taking EVERYTHING IS seriously? Volzwagen is switching all their cars to electric.

I doubt they're trying to prop up a single tech journalist. If I had to speculate on intelligence agency motivations I'd speculate that they're trying to attack SuperMicro.

It's also possible Bloomberg's sources are lying to them. It's not unwarranted for intelligence agencies to leak things to the press deliberately to create a story.

Much of the maintenance of Britian's infrastructure is still done by the government. Rails, for example, are government maintained but we just don't get the profits anymore.

So how many chances are we going to give billionaires? Three? Four? One hundred? Most people get one mistake.

Isn't that more telling about the nature of "value" than the advice though?

You don't see discussion on that because you're on a tech industry website, not a janitorial forum. And the percentage of women in janitorial work is nearly twice that as the percentage in tech per BLS: https://www.bls.

How the hell are you targeting ads with "bicep mass"?
17.
by rrcaptain 8y ago
Biases are rarely knowingly done, that's why they're biases. The proof is in the pudding though. The model Amazon came up with was biased against women. That suggests that female candidates in the dataset were discriminated agains

Yes. Software engineers taking ethics seriously and not letting technical enthusiasm blind them is news, not normality.

The media has always been about narratives.

While this is a good thing, it's not nearly sufficient to stop climate catastrophe.

Citation needed. Elon trashed his name well enough on his own.

Elon Musk has evaporated the public's trust in him.

That's a poorly phrased warrant canary. Aren't warrant canaries intended to be for FISA-type warrants?

Mom & Pop, by definition, refers to the ownership of the medium. Not how many people work on it.

by rrcaptain 8y ago
Niche yes, but mainstream (like mom and pop) refers to the ownership of the medium. And HN is owned by one of Silicon Valley's most powerful firms.

Once again Stallman shows that he was right all along.

by rrcaptain 8y ago
"Clumsy and ham-fisted way" is a weird way to say "white supremacists".
28.
by rrcaptain 8y ago
Are you joking? HN is owned by YCombinator, one of the most powerful companies in the Valley. If it's Mom and Pop, than so is Mitt Romney's hedgefund.

Didn't they already do an Over-the-Air update to fix the braking time in response to a bad review?

AC should be considered mission critical.
