LOL Stoppelman's response sounds like something you'd hear from Trump - at the very least it's his platform of choice (twitter).

It's good to incentivize companies to look after their employees. This rule doesn't seem to complicate the system very much.

I was thinking the same thing, it's hard to judge this article without knowing exactly how much code duplication the author thinks is appropriate and in what circumstances.

I could see that being the case where the little guys aren't able to get the word out about their product, but keep in mind that big advertisers like coke use the "brand awareness" aspect of advertising to get their brand in

I agree 100% it is good for people to speak their mind, but I'm just saying in some cases you really can't.

Careful, sometimes people don't complain because they are afraid of the retaliatory consequences if they do. Seems like a very dangerous assumption to make. I've talked to many people who just feel like they can't speak up in

Does the article bother you?

Craigslist has always been a sleazy company and didn't get serious about the violence that resulted from the postings on their site until massive public pressure. Craig Newark seems like someone who will put profit ahead of everything.

Did you read the article? "Emerging in its place is the mostly white, male-dominated, monied monoculture of the tech industry and there appears no end in sight." Seems like he's complaining that SF is losing diversity.

Oh well I'm sorry but your feelings don't dictate whether or not someone lives next to you. Go live in a subdivision that has rules about what sort of people you like to be around. Just because you're intolerant doesn't

It is quite a leap...I don't think Ferlinghetti or the author of the article was complaining about racism at all, I think they just don't seem to like the tech people. I'm not really sure why but if I had to guess, I would sa

'He complains of a "soulless group of people", a "new breed" of men and women too busy with iPhones to "be here" in the moment, and shiny new Mercedes-Benzs on his street.' So he can't tolerate p

I think that the only way that these protestors will be happy is if people who work at Google or Facebook just curl up in a ball and die.

I would agree, talking with the co-founders is the best route to go. Come up with good examples and/or comparisons for why you think the business model won't be a success but also propose a solution to what route you think the business shou
