You clearly and literally do not seem to understand how strikes work.

My personal belief is what will kill (and is killing) Hollywood is what (effectively) killed TV: Scale, and blandness. Hollywood had a hard enough time being interesting when it had to appeal to a broad swath of Americans. Now they want to

I can smell a favored executive's pet project stink from all the way over here. And I'm not even pooh-poohing Dropbox - I love them and use them religiously.

Long-term companies in the south bay that have no (or virtually no) SF tech presence. Just off the top of my head: Google/Alphabet, Facebook, Oracle, Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, Intel, AMD, Applied Materials, Apple, Yaho

San Francisco isn't Silicon Valley. It has never been the center of the tech world, and to whatever extent it's tech-heavy now that's less than 20 years old. These pictures act like SF was churning out silicon and code starti

I like how "our duly-represented governments ignore the will of the people and their own laws and constitutions to effect illegal searches of citizens who've done nothing wrong" as "hacking".

Wastefulness of government is fairly uncontroversial, yes. But you're acting like that's all he claims - he's claiming it's both wasteful and that it cannot be fixed . It's a slightly more eloquent version of &quot

You're making a case for government action, not coroporate. (I also happen to agree with you)

It's disappointing to me how many comments still refer to concerns by Trump or Brexit supports as essentially optics. "They blame immigrants", "they see immigrants coming in at the same time as things being bad and make

Yeah, his whole argument can be boiled down to, "No but seriously they're racist you should ignore them."

> Uber owes its drivers more. Why? Not trying to be snarky; why do they owe their drivers anything but incentive to work for them (which seems sufficient, or we wouldn't even be having this conversation int he first place). Expectin

I'd argue in most cases both the federal government and the various state governments have largely stopped governing. They make lots of noise about social issues and do some day-to-day stuff but I don't really see them as doing th

You're referring to only one aspect of common carrier status. There's a whole host of regulations that apply - or not - if you're a common carrier. And I'm sorry are you honestly claiming that those cost 20% of an intern

That you're trying to tie this in with SJWs and such is just sickening. Not every dispute boils down to entitlement, and there's no evidence of it here. Just smart people differing opinion and one side taking it too far. You can d

Yes, but it's easy to calculate out the results for everyone (drivers, Uber) if vehicles are x% more utilized, and at no point does it become sustainable for anyone - let alone profitable. As the Naked Capitalism article points out the

Put snarkily: Paid subscription models don't lead to hockey sticks. And investors are only interested in hockey sticks. There's so much in our world we could do if we only demanded profit, rather than 20+% profit YoY from every co

That... Doesn't match history at all. Mergers have been far more dominant in recent years than bankruptcies, but you ignore them completely.

That is a very unfairly misleading metric, then.

You act like the DOJ is just shooting from the hip here. Yes, it's believable, because the DOJ said under penalty of perjury in a federal court that it's happening. Hand-wavey "not believable" replies are ridiculous.

Because some of us live in the real world and see this literally happening every single day?

The title alone is so disgustingly marketing-speak as to make me not even want to click on it. How arrogant does a company have to be to think that they're the ones who are going to unlock "deep, meaningful conversations"?

If your effort to learn how systemd functions took you ten minutes it's unlikely you're involved enough in the internals of it to understand the debate.

My opinion is because modern development is all about squeezing every single last dollar out of that development. That involves things like the illusion of open spaces while still using every last square meter of ground without wasting anyt

I'll say this is even worse because whether or not to bind to localhost, all interfaces, or something in between is often highly dependent on how the software works - which you're less likely to know when just trying it for the fi

You're basing a whole lot on one study of 50 chronic users in one city. You're going to have to cite more than that if you want to rest your entire argument on that basis.

As conservative ideology becomes more and more unmoored from reality how do you propose we keep conservatives participating in academia? I'm not just being snarky - it seems to me the increasing liberalization of colleges is inextricab
