Society doesn't seem to take issue with screwing over kids who go to law-school (outside the top 3) with asinine levels of debt and low salaries. All salaries should be subject to market forces.

If the keyboard weren't off-centered, and it's hardware played nice with linux (not sure on this) then I'd consider it.

It is probably a bit of an over-generalization, but let us not forget Wall St. did crash the economy and no one at the top was held accountable.

They aren't entitled to state funds if they ignore the state's wishes. If they want full autonomy they need to go private.

While this article seems to be a bit light on specifics, the automation of most legal practices is something that ML will have a great affect on in the near future (imo). Junior associates get paid insane salaries to do very meaningless gru

Uber's valuation is contingent on it becoming a monopoly or something close to it. That isn't going to happen w/o a pitbull CEO. Travis knows the business better than anyone else @ this point. A threshold of bad PR that is co

There is a plethora of issues that have to be addressed, to name a few: * The U.S. Government would have to be ok w/losing a ~1/6th of it's economy. * California has no military; funding such would be expensive. * All existin

This is clearly PR on his part; I'm not sure it'll play out the way he anticipates though, this basically screams carelessness to a bunch of people who will be (rightfully) upset about the bug.

I'd say so, I always assumed $~1 billion would get shaved off the asking price after the PR nightmare caused by the hacking.

I'm sure large corporations would love some cover to depress wages. The reality is the blue-collar jobs the article references had low barriers of entry, and provided good salaries. SE jobs with good salaries rarely go to boot-camp gra

While I agree that wrapping it in social stigma would help w/the numbers, it'd set a very bad precedent for the idea of basic income in general.

Not sure about this blanket statement, with Palantir being a shining example of why it's likely overtly wrong (DoD is most likely their largest source of revenue).

Aren't both of those activities more endemic in generally healthy people anyway (tend to live longer)? It'd be a bit of a stretch to say that it'll improve the genetic variables effecting your lifespan.

I'm sorry for the hassle you've had to face in pursuit of a better life (assuming that's why you're on a visa here). Unfortunately, immigration reform in the eyes of the ruling class isn't how the issue is presented

I don't think it's entirely that black and white. If an undergraduate degree from a tier 1 school didn't cost approx. a quarter of a million dollars, along with the fact that your "peers" with rich parents will have

Construction workers in the U.S. are decently paid (compared to the foreign counter-parts) and there are a lot of lawyers and consultants who all need a cookie out of the government contract cookie jar.

Couldn't agree more, if immigration policy for high skilled workers made them equals to their home-grown peers, it'd put upward pressure on salaries assuming there were reasonable limits on visas granted each year.

In fairness, it looks like they've somewhat compromised by hiring Ruth.

How you're treated during the interview is a good indication of how you'll be treated by the company if hired. Unless you really need employment, I'd stay away from Amazon.

There should be similar laws all over. In a global economy, if "regular people" have to compete with multi-millionaires and billionaires who can move capital wherever, whenever they want, housing where any decent paying jobs are l

No one can tell you for sure, if it's your passion do it, if you're hoping for a big payday, I'd reconsider.

While I'd love this too, let us not forget that Wall St. executives did FAR worse (created a scheme which crashed the economy) and aside from few low level execs, no one faced any serious prosecution. Conning investors of their money a

Why is the initial reaction to delete the sub instead of find a new owner?

Won't this attach a stigma to those hired (who aren't white/asian male)? It's quite literally a quota.

With any luck, the cheapening of solar and other alternatives will allow the transition from fossil fuels to be accomplished via market forces instead of political mandate(s).

Innovation is hard to come by from behemoths because it's easier to convince MBAs on squeezing labor costs and cornering markets vs. going to the moon.

The "gate-keeper" media gave us the Iraq war. Anyone who was skeptical at the time was dismissed as a loon or worse, censored via refusing to cover X's viewpoint. Vox's argument boils down to: FB regressed in area Y, the

620k subscribers didn't bail because they disagreed with Colin Kalpernicek (sp?), they bailed because ESPN is still acting as if cable channels still have a future.
