Is there any cost not enforced by the government? What stops me from killing and eating my local venture capitalists for their protein content?

You’re using “pain in the ass” as a euphemism for “has labor laws and higher wages” which is a longstanding PR move that’s been going on forever. They prefer to setup factories overseas because they like paying lower wages. Productivity in

Yes of course. An architect is a well established job on any large scale construction project. Do you think all construction workers are unskilled laborers? If they were practicing architecture in the US without proper work visas it would b

I mean it says something about their work. It says they were in an active construction site. What do you think they were doing there? Having a 300+ person “business meeting”?

I have absolutely zero respect for ICE these days and their ability to be honest about anything. But with that caveat there are straightforward allegations of violations of well established US law here. The comments about breaking nitpicky

That's not obvious at all. The image in the article you're linking to shows people with hardhats and vests that say "mechanic" on them. Not only that there's a long history of asian high tech conglomerates taking sh

Is your theory that they were handcuffed for violating union rules, or U.S. laws?

What do you suppose the answer to this question is: > Why would Hyundai ever open another American plant if that's how their people get treated?

The fact that many were wearing hard hats and hi-vis vests in the photos of the raid seems relevant right? They raided a construction site, not an office building. What do you think they were doing there?

This is an insightful comment on what is apparently a multi-billion dollar charity known as Hyundai, and their desire to improve the state of Georgia. I had mistakenly confused them with the multi-national Chaebol of the same name that is k

> An ESTA or B1 visa lets you attend business meetings. How do you draw the line between “work” and “meeting”? This is a construction site. Do you have a tool in your hand? Then you’re not in a fucking meeting. This isn’t that complicate

When they give lavish amounts of money to executives or VCs do you also call that a tax?

That’s not the full story at all. No argument that this administration is a disaster on hundreds of metrics but it’s not clear what’s going on here. At a glance it’s at least possible that this was a pro-US worker policy. The Asian high tec

The idea that all decisions under capitalism are value-neutral is ludicrous. By your definition, selling arms to dictators and using the money to buy a yacht and private security qualifies as "service to humanity."

The best way to serve humanity in your professional life is serve humanity in your professional life. In other words, be useful. You don't have to worry about "being good" or "doing good" though many do and it'

Is it clear what the actual restrictions are here? I have a couple of diskstations and like them and was about to buy another. How does this actually affect me as a practical matter?

For both of these examples who the fuck cares. I just evaluate AI writing people send me the same as any writing. If they’re using AI to speed things up and deliver really clear and on point documents faster then great. If they can’t stand

It’s all this but don’t underestimate predictability. If you own a home with a fixed rate mortgage you know what your payment is and it doesn’t change. You know where your kids are going to grow up. Sure you might need a new roof and insura

It’s clever but shouldn’t it be “read criminals rights”? Or is it even more clever than I can parse?

I don't think any serious tech company with somewhat competent leadership would have any bit of trouble raising that much cash to buy Chrome if they had an accepted offer and ability to close.

We don't actually know that. If we had that level of understanding of how exactly our brains do what they do things would be quite different.

We absolutely do have laws that are the equivalent of “no one is allowed to sell their used car for less than X". These laws take the form of transfer and registration fees for vehicles, taxes, and especially inspection requirements. W
