Businesses don't charge what they think their product is worth. The concept of "thinking what its worth" is silly all by itself. They charge the profit maximising amount in the profit maximising way. If you could get one cust

People don't tend to want the law enforced just because it's the law. There are all sorts of weird laws still on the books in some places yet no ones getting outraged that people are fishing without a hat on or whatever.

They can do what they want. What they can't do authentically however is to try to claim hardship status. Which "cash strapped" does. These people had a backup condo to live in after selling their first house. You don't g

I'm surprised that you say that while referencing The Big Short because I thought it made it pretty clear that the people selling houses lacked education as well. There was the whole thing where the guy sees dudebros selling houses to

Businesses don't make purchases, decision makers do. A product/service might succeed if it's really good at operating as you describe but fulfilling the specific needs, often emotional, of the buyer is still very much a part

I believe people that would thrive in that environment would already be working as contractors or founders or at least in an industry where compensation is strongly tied to recent KPI's like sales or finance. Things might be different

This seems to me to be the same argument people use for boycotting companies that use foreign sweatshop labor paid cents on the hour to make clothing and it doesn't make sense to me. If working like a robot is cruel, why are people doi

And why would someone who espouses capitalistic ideals struggle to wrap their head around it? It's a pretty simple concept.

Every discussion on productivity on here is basically dominated by people talking about how 40 hours is even too much for high quality creative work and that much of the heavy lifting for ideas is done when not in front of a keyboard and th

Their CEO disagrees with you. >“If we are not tied for first, then the person who is in first, or the enemy that’s in first, then rolls out a ride-sharing network that is far cheaper or far higher quality than Uber’s, then Uber is no lon

It takes very little reading to stay far more informed than the average person on current events if you set out to have that as your goal rather than just casually consuming information. As for being a well informed citizen acting against i

Where is a strong punishment not solving the problem? Increasing it creates fear of consequences. Cameras are cheap. Hell, just a slap a bounty on footage.

No, you'd attach a strong punishment to public urination/defecation and then let people be their own judges on whether or not they can handle van dwelling. If it's a problem then keep increasing the punishment or ability to c

No I don't. The solution is don't live in a van if you have a weak bladder.

by Trundle 9y ago
You make it sound like having a weak bladder is a given. 'Don't wake up in the middle of the night needing to go to the toilet' is a perfectly viable option.

>So every tor ip is hostile to cloudflare sites? OP blog post claims 96% of the traffic going to their tor hidden service is hostile. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me at all that every tor ip is hostile.

There's an app that's basically IFTTT for phones. Let's you set your phone to do things like silence itself or disengage wifi based on location. For the life of me I can't remember the name but it's out there and ho

Given the shitposting on /r/wallstreetbets I'm going to say you have a decent chance of being correct.

I understand your frustration but I think you're being a tad unfair to chilli lovers with your gratuitous violence comparison. If all I'm getting out of a spicy dish is 'hot' then it's either a shit dish or I'm

It amused me last year when I realised that 95% of my phone use was the facebook app, tinder, and pokemon go. One a notorious battery drain, the next crashed regularly, and then the last was worst at both. I definitely think there are a lot

In the sense that moral relativism is a thing yes. A big difference being acceptance within modern western culture. I'd assume (hope) there is a minuscule amount of people for honor killings while it appears to me quite common to not g

Nothing about IP is basic right from wrong. He might have zero morals, you're the one that's worked in close contact with him not me, but it's entirely possible to have a strong moral compass and ethical framework and not car

Everyone dies. Savage humans at least had the benefit of a lesser ability to ponder and comprehend the permanence and inevitability of ceasing to exist.

So would I but I think it's important to avoid just using what our current selves want/would do in discussions on what would make happy humans. We're products of our environment. Modern humans would be fucked (and unhappy) if

Disagree. I think tribal warfare and fighting predators are things we are built for and desire to do on a base level, hence why we have (poor) substitutes in team sports, modern hunting, and the action movie. The lack of these things is a l
