"Onsite" and "remote" are not sufficient, unfortunately. Remote should be obvious, but a lot of companies say "remote" when they mean "you can work at home a couple days a week"... rather than really

I think salaries should be required-- if not by rule, then by convention. Companies have been asking candidates to give their salary up front ("expectations" or "history") without ever justifying it when it's obviou

OMG, the famous Abbot and Costello "Who's on First" skit is replayed in that vimeo talk (from NDC) about Monads. Love it. But it's a good video, thanks.

I'm being brigaded. It's not just this one comment, it's comments on other threads, non-political and non-controversial ones as well.

Here's something you didn't mention in your excellent list of motivations: Money When you're a politician you raise campaign chests, and when you retire, you get to keep those contributions. So, running for president puts yo

afarrell-- in the early days of the 1992 campaign I felt exactly the way you do, about Bill Clinton. I was a Paul Tsongas supporter then. We all know how that turned out. After losing twice in a row, the Republicans know they have to chan

I agree. Libertarians are the original Gay Rights and Abortion Rights supporters, going back to the 1970s. When Obama and Hillary were still anti gay-marriage (in 2013, before it became something they couldn't ignore) and when Bill C

Doing distributed systems in Elixir/Erlang is dramatically easier/more logical than in Go. Go is advertised as having "Concurrency" support, but that's nowhere near all that makes up OTP. I think people don't s

I've dealt with unfair employers as well... but labor laws don't really help you. The cost of taking someone to court far exceeds the likely result if you win the case... so the risk reward, even when you've really been wron

Are there good management and orchestration tools for Xen (or other hypervisor)? One of the things about Docker is that I'm having trouble finding good tools for managing an infrastructure of Docker containers. I know this is being

I really thought Dylan was a wonderful language back in the day... and I see no reason that with some effort this couldn't be a fine OS for maker/hardware hacker mobile devices.

Companies tend to accumulate multiple product lines. It seems Avago's strategy is to buy companies with high growth products, then sell off the less high growth product lines to others (which probably helps finance the acquisition to s

Your opinion is a data point, I'm not arguing against you below, because that would be futile- your opinion is a fact of how things are from your perspective. Amazing to have gone from the one and only minimalist design company, standi

You mean the generation that remembers what the USSR was like? I'm not being flippant, I'm being serious. The entire leftist political agenda, including Basic Income is basic marxism and the arguments for it are the same ones we

Yes, I forgot about the magical money tree. You know, social security, "war on poverty" and all that counted on the magical money tree too. And you know what you got? More poverty? When are you guys going to stop making the sa

OMG, at this ant the other responses. Because you didn't have to pay it in taxes, you can buy food with the pieces of paper you... didn't pay in taxes! Ok, I'm out. I think you guys don't care about the poor at all, you

I can assure you, it's not just you. To me, this is more of an artistic style than a design. A designer needs to communicate usability to the user. You need to know what's a button and what's not. You need to know the bor

My MVP is to eliminate federal taxes on the first $50k a year in income.

Do you think on $1,000 month people are getting out of the trailer parks? There aren't a lot of $500 a month apartments out there-- and if there are, they will disappear quick as everyone can now more easily afford them, so prices wil

by MCRed 11y ago
Why don't we just cut taxes for everyone who makes less than $50k a year? Cut them to zero for all of those people. At least federal taxes, but it would be nice if there was a moratorium or movement to do it for state taxes as well.

I lived outside the USA for 6 years. There's definitely a cost to doing so- for instance, not having Amazon or the inexpensive goods we often have. But that cost is less than a doubling of my taxes. A basic income as proposed in the

Currently the government is spending via inflation far more than it takes in from taxes. So, if you want to add $3.6Trillion to the budget-- more than doubling it-- in order to give everyone in the USA $12k a year, it's going to have

The competition will not need to undercut to make bank... there is increased demand relative to supply, causing prices to rise, and the competition will like the higher prices as well. If premium breadco sells for $2.10 a loaf now and gener

Yes, it's called demand. And inflation is an example of it, you increase the money supply, then there are more dollars chasing a given commodity-- more demand for that commodity per dollar, or looked at the other way, more supply of d

When you raise the minimum wage, you don't change any of the other aspects of the business affected by it. So, say you have 15 employees making $10 an hour to keep your company afloat. (Just to keep things simple ,this is about the log
