If you think limited freedom cultures are good for our work go on ahead ignoring this stuff. I exist outside of HN. HN though is where I want to see technology articles and discussion, not politics. From the guidelines: Off-Topic: Most s

What in god's name does that have to do with the article that was posted?

Since I can't flag the story, I'd like someone to explain to me how in the hell they consider this "Hacker News". Seriously, this article, and all 22 comments of this discussion belong on reddit.

In Canada withdraws and deposits are separate. Most employees are paid via direct deposit up here, and it's been that way since like the early 90's.

An article like this makes you wonder how many different diseases (answer - over 200) get lumped together under the large "cancer" umbrella. One wonders if we are doing ourselves a disservice maintaining a term more inline with sh

What motivates web designers to tell stories by repurposing the scroll mechanism instead of, say, using video? I can only speak for myself, but I rarely, if ever, watch website videos, especially at work. I made it through this entire thi

Ah, the web was invented to keep military sites in communication (presumably so that they could keep killing people) while the rest of the world was dying a horrible, nuclear death. So it kinda was.

No, it's called focusing on a particular topic at one time. You cannot concern yourself with politics all the damn time any more than you can concern yourself with anything else exclusively.

>The politicization and militarization of technology is undeniable You make this statement as if it was some sort of new happening. This is as old as technology itself. Finding new ways to kill each other has been the number one driver o

Agreed, although the top comment here was actually quite interesting. HN has made an exception for all things US gov't spying related. I even lost my flagging rights for flagging all the snowden stuff (which I thought was exactly what

There is no substance in this post and it shouldn't be here. The first post was okay, this one is basically writing for the sake of writing something.

The irony in your comment is kicking me in the face through the computer screen.

Somewhat oversimplifying, you can think of hierarchical individualists as akin to conservative Republicans, and egalitarian communitarians as liberal Democrats. Somewhat? That's like saying that black is a dark colour like navy blue

If a deer walked though a field it would stand to reason that it would encourage pollination. Bees are some of the best pollinators, but they aren't exclusive in this regard.

I made the parent comment. I also pointed out as to why employers offering extended services works in the very next sentence. You are providing no real evidence to the contrary other than the fact that Australia doesn't do it. Apples t

1. I'm in the industry. It has more to do with pooling of risk than bulk processing, but same idea more or less. Insurers can and do rock the boat all the time, but around the core players their nature is to be conservative. Check out

You should look into this, because although it isn't advertised, you can in fact opt out of your employer's plan in a large majority of cases. There could be exceptions if your employer is smaller and/or several people have a
