I can only assume that you have failed every economics course you have ever taken, because if you left without understanding the concept of supply and demand orthe concept of value, then there is really nothing I can say to you other than a

You misunderstand. Minimizing margins and maximizing revenues are not mutually exclusive. Also, saying an entity is publicly traded irrelevant, as you are suggesting we know every detail about a company simply by reviewing their financial

Not really, best buy and any other company of its size are more concerned with tax filings (which should be an "Ah Ha" moment for those of you at home), which generally gives companies an incentive to jack up costs and consequently decrease

Its actually better this is happening out side the US. Simply possessing CP in any format, with or without knowledge or consent is illegal. A handful of smart people have written about the situation (and its been featured on HN in the pas

I gave you +1 for middlebrow dismissal, you ignored the point I made and simply compared government to the private sector. I don't care how great the private sector manages their business, that is not the topic of discussion. Maybe you sh

I think what nugget is getting at, is there are many government programs that are mismanaged (welfare, social security, education to some extent, and others). Who legitimately feels good that they pay taxes only to see other Americans livi

The reason for this is minor's can't be held liable for any contracts they sign, that and companies have boiler plate legal speak that is intended for 99% of their customers. That being said, there are plenty of ways to get around that limi

I would agree that there is grey area, but I would compare this to some guy walking up and commenting on your grey hair, then you, offended, punch him in the face. If we take that to the extremes then maybe it would be harassment or distur

After having a "sales" (read: 95% telemarketing, 5% Misc tasks) job this past summer I can agree with much of what your saying. I gave it a couple months, then I quit (for various reasons, not really worth listing). The thing is, as much I

I would have to disagree that, this sort of crap is exactly what happens at small companies. When the person who manages a small company and is also a sole owner of it; its pretty common that they look at employees successfully blogging as

"If there's one thing I wish I could do to improve HN, it would be to detect this sort of middlebrow dismissal algorithmically." 3 years ago, HN was great. Amazing in fact. What's changed in 3 years? Certainly not the system. The user b

Some of the best GPA's in my college graduating class (class of 2012) were known cheaters. They went on to prestigious jobs at companies such as [large american aircraft manufacturer] and [large american defense contractor]. Those of us t

I'm sorry but how is it sexist? I would agree that it is a poor article with little reasoning behind it, but I have no idea what sex the author is nor do I think it is sexist. If anything it seemed like the author was discrediting her becau
