It's not a bad idea, but it leads to weird situations where a job generates $11/hour for the employer, the employer pays $10, the government pays $5, and the end result is that society is paying this person $15/hour to do wor

That’s a common misconception. The supreme court has ruled that free speech applies to places that act as a public square. That’s why, in some areas, malls aren’t allowed to kick out protestors, because they mall is considered a public squa

Why shouldn’t it? Youtube has hundreds of millions of users and most of them don’t care the slightest bit about human moderation. If you only want to use platforms that have extensive human moderation systems, they exist (HN is one, I belie

Uber drivers are not paid very well, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the money Uber is willing to pay you to drive for them isn’t enough to survive. However it would be a mistake to assume everyone who lives paycheck to paycheck is doing so b

Why would you prefer he say nothing? As long as he’s not misleading people I don’t see what the harm of commenting is.

I wonder if the accusation is that they were trying to mislead people into not understanding that bankruptcy is an option, in the hope that they’ll be less likely to default? Still doesn’t really seem that serious to me. Nobody who was unde

If they want to use Rust, wgpu-rs is basically a simpler and memory-safe version of the Vulkan API. Obviously the overhead will be unacceptable for some use-cases, but it's a good way of learning the core concepts of Vulkan and 3D rend

Without commenting on Singapore, many countries have no minimum wage without negative consequence. It can be substituted with strong unions or social programs. In fact minimum wage is kind of a blunt instrument. People often say that everyo

Why would it change language semantics? Haskell’s polymorphism to my eye seems about the same as rust’s, and it doesn’t need to worry about object safety

That is definitely true, but I think there’s an effect where citizens of a democracy are less likely to be willing to go to war against another democracy. It would be easy for americans to justify war against china, because americans value

Are you saying the campaign cost multiples of their yearly labor expenditure, or the whole plan multiples of the yearly pay for one employee? If it’s the latter I don’t see how it makes them rotten. That’s an incredibly small expenditure, m

Free speech isn’t a concept that was invented or defined by the United State’s first amendment. What kind of logic is that? When foreign governments kill dissidents, do you say “don’t worry guys, the first amendment only applies to the US g
