Exactly! One important argument for Right to Repair is the environment. If I cannot salvage parts from a dead phone then it'll be e-waste. This doesn't help the consumer nor the environment, but it will definitely affect Apple&#x2

I assume OP asked because of the Flexport job ad on HN (currently #19) which says "looking for gritty people". Apply and let us know :D

The US already spends more per Capita for healthcare. I truly believe a tax increase won't be necessary, it's a matter of creating a sound plan that offers coverage to everyone using what we already spend on Healthcare. Regulate p

No, when someone posts something claiming it's a verifiable fact, it's their job to support it with citation. Until they do that, it remains an opinion.

Your first claim is an opinion rather than a fact. From my OPINION there are more people covered and are benefitting from medicare and medicaid because of those improvements. I don't have enough info to comment on your second point, bu

If I am not mistaken, there were still 70+ percent of all Americans that supported universal healthcare as of 2020.

Do we need automation more than affordable medicine? I'll explain.. if extremely expensive life-saving medicine did not improve things to the point those meds became cheap, then I won't expect "cheap labor" to bring me b

Universal healthcare will render the VA healthcare redundant. A soldier will have access to healthcare before deployment and after deployment, whether they got fucked up in a horrible situation or came back safe. I'll add: it feels lik

The bitter truth is that not every Democrat supports universal healthcare.

Except that healthcare is needed outside of work, by the worker, their spouse and children. It's needed for the person with the job and the one without. For the rich and the poor. Bad analogy, healthcare is a human right that shouldn&#

> analyzes press releases Yeah, that's public information. It's fair to everyone. We're specifically talking about "insider" knowledge which they take advantage of before anyone else knows.

I believe that to be true. In addition they'll be more corrupt in secret. A few things need to happen, reform political contributions and outlaw bribery, as well as enforcing laws, politicians going without punishment when they do ille

Not sure I agree. They're services. Uber is a car as a service. You don't pay monthly, but you use it as a service. I don't pay a subscription for Gmail or their productivity suite, but those are SaaS.

by Bilal_io 4y ago
I think you're looking at it backwards, other stuff as a service is the OG, and SaaS is the relatively new thing. Food as a Service: Restaurants, Cafes, Uber eats, Door dash, and other services that rich people use where they order foo

How can we say "if Palin hadn't run" when Republicans preferred her over Begich? Why didn't they pick him over the other two if he's the favorite? Begich only got more second choice votes because after picking your

The issue would be subscriptions if I am not mistaken. If I allow a user to pay a monthly subscription, I am obviously going to depend on Stripe or another provider to hold the information for me, and if they deactivate my account, then I a

40% Peltola 32% Palin 29% Begich Begich's votes split to 3: 50% for Palin, 29% for Peltola while 21% were exhausted. That adds up to: 49.67% for Peltola and 46.5% for Palin. And you said "52.5% of people preferred Begich to Peltol

This is very exciting. I'll start using it for my side projects immediately. Thank you! Any timeline on when Appetite Cloud will be ready?

And it's good that they're giving them time to transition internally instead of just laying them off. Now the hiring freeze makes more sense, if a team elsewhere is desperate to find an engineer, this is their chance.

Figma has a free tier, which doesn't exist under CC. On the other hand, Figma costs at least $12/$45/$75 per editor per month depending on the level, and they don't charge users without editing rights. Those prices are n

Big win for the Figma team. Big loss for consumers who have benefitted from the competitive market. I really hope this incentives Krita, Ink, Gimp or other OSS to focus more on UI design features. I think there is a value for Adobe to add F

I know AWS is the most used cloud platform among the many out there. But wouldn't you be missing on really talented people that have only worked on Azure or Google Cloud for say 10 years? Or is it the expectation that any OPs engineer

I agree, and I think your examples of Venmo, and liquidating your 401k are examples of where regulation is needed. Same goes for storing data, while many people hate the GDPR, I think forcing companies to delete personal data is an importan
