Whether that behaviour is good or bad have nothing to do with the economic system in place. Pure capitalism have obvious flaws. To me, a company being more powerful than a country is one.

I think the framing that "individual bad actors must be regulated for the good of the collective" is wrong here. In my opinion, what GP is saying is more along the line of "powerful actors must be regulated for the good of th

That's a common point of view, but when your disability is never someone else's problem, it becomes waaaaaay harder to manage. You should display more empathy to people that don't follow the norm.

Then maybe the easy solution is to make sure anyone showing up late doesn't disrupt anything? That accommodates everyone, is flexible, and does not unfairly punish anyone. _THAT_ is flexibility.

It really shows that you know nothing about sleep-related disabilities. I know someone suffering from idiopathic hypersomnia[1]. You can't just "choose" to go to bed earlier to wake up earlier in the morning. Sometimes it mig

You do realise this system is unsustainable, though ? We just cannot grow infinitely just because .end of life care costs money. We are way too many, and the #1 source of global warming is human activity. At one point we'll have to sto

You are saying > the thing so many of people with these views have in a common is they feel no shame about the harm they are causing. > If in your own opinion you did something wrong, you should absolutley feel shame It implies that

I think there is a huge difference between making something illegal for business (here: gambling in games) so that huge companies can't profit off of that legally , and making something illegal for people (war on drugs). Like many peo

And why should we maintain the population ? Have we reached the perfect amount of people on earth ? We could be a lot less humans on earth, it would be amazing for the environment, and I think we'd be as happy. The only downside I see

That's interesting. A little nitpick : you seem to imply that buying a book is having an influence on parenting skills. I'd argue that's its correlated but does not have a direct influence. As you said, if you're buying

That's an interesting idea. It would need some kind of tweaking for low values otherwise it would be exploitable to generate as much revenue from a 10 people sub then from a bigger one. > This would encourage people to participate i

I work for a > 100 people company where the business model is entirely based on donations. We are using stripe for payment and it costs us money, but you can still use our service freely if you want to. I agree it is not simple, but it p

Well, the difference may come from the language. "I am hungry" translates in french to "J'ai faim" using the "have" auxiliary. You "are" hungry in english, but I "have" the hunger, in f

I suffer from a disability and so does my girlfriend. Note that our main language is French and so there is a bit of nuance to how the terms are used. Disabled is usually said "handicapé" (this word means more "incapacitated&

I've seen this at least twice on the french websites jeuxvideo.com and marmiton.org. I may have seen more but do not remember. It think it's a gray area right now though.

That’s an interesting take. I would add that while you don’t necessarily need your life to have a purpose, having a job (or hobbies) that have a purpose is important. Whether the purpose is helping others, knowledge, money… just find s

I think the words "meaning" and "calling" are a bit strong. They all kind of imply the notion that there is one thing that will make you happy and that you have to find it. In reality, I think there are lots of differen

In France, for example, you have 4 months (and you can renew it 3 more months so 7 in total) probation period. If you need more then 7 months to realise you've made a wrong hire, then I think you can spend take a few more months to fir

Hi Michael, congratulations ! In what ways do you think your disability has been a force or an obstacle to your startup ? Also, combining your main job plus building a startup must have been very hard. Do you have an idea of how many hour

As someone working 50%, I can relate. I answered more than 100 messages last year on LinkedIn from companies/recruiters interested in my profile, and got to the end interview part twice (the answer was always 'working half time

Well they tolerate it because there is no other choice. You can't say f** all the apple users. Would you have the same argument if Windows took a 30% cut of all transactions that happened on "their platform" ?

And if I'm uncomfortable with Android, what should I use ? I have the choice between being abused by Apple, Google or having no apps because no one bothers developping apps for Linux phones.

It has to be a financial compensation during the period covered by the non-compete. I think it also has to match your salary (otherwise it would be easy to exploit), but I'm not 100% sure.

He actually arrived at the exact opposite conclusion: all apps should be reviewed after each update because not even (or especially) big companies can’t be trusted.

It is to you. Just imagine someone having a mental handicap or just tired and not paying enough attention. Terms should be easy to read and understand, that is one part of accessibility.

Considering the police officer is on duty and inside the precinct - which is aimed at serving the public, I wouldn't consider this "playing music to yourself". Otherwise, every employee in bars and restaurants could "pla

It's an interesting anecdote. I think a possible solution to that problem could be a universal basic income, itself funded on the likes of Amazon. If you had the assurance that you'd always have something to live with, wouldn&#x27
