I don't. Property that is held (which can be held in a variety of ways by a plethora of entities) is targeted separately, just as income is, just as capital gains are, which property can also generate.

I don't understand how your views on cost-value are related to my views on the user interface and experience.

Windows user from 3.1 to Win 7 here. Once I saw the MacOS experience in 2012, I never looked back. an engineer might say the juice isn't worth the squeeze, but to a consumer, and a power user, the swath of UI and UX inconsistencies is

What an odd hill to die on. The article doesn't mention lobbying efforts at all, and I'd be very curious to take a look at the money trail - there's got to be one. This isn't a strong enough idealogical position and both

Agree that well-rounded time management skills are required, or are essential to learn. My spouse, for example, has some of the worst time management skills I've ever seen, unless she's bounded by the confines of an office working

Very much YMMV.12 year remote engineer here, and I absolutely work less on the whole, versus my past in-office gigs, due to far more focused and efficient stints of development, etc. Perhaps some folks just aren't the type that should&

I'll happily contribute to a GoFundMe for the defense. I haven't made it through all of the comments, but I wonder if this isn't a case the EFF would be interested in.

I don't know anything about the situation, but what is evident is this is some of the worst of Twitter on display, and why I shy away from the platform more often than not.

The same exists on nearly every social media site, sadly. Natural progression I would assume. On Twitter, in dev circles, we have "Junior Dev Porn" where the same poll/questions are asked, the same anecdotes are recycled, and

I wouldn't classify the comment I replied to as egregious. I can't find in the guidelines where it mentions not discussing downvotes. Perhaps you could cite that, specifically.

Experienced the same in Florida. We had to relocate while our home was being cleared of hazardous material. I had Spectrum at that location being worked on at one price. The temporary digs were about 3 miles away and the price was 1/3

I downvoted this because the guidelines [1] specifically state "Don't be snarky." There are plenty of outlets for snark. I like HN for thoughtful replies, even when I disagree with them. [1] https://news.ycombinato

This was really cool. Thank you for taking the time to put that together.

If you're going to downvote, at least provide objective reasoning for it. Otherwise it's just petty disagreement, which violates the spirit of HN.

Who else recalls the self-flagellation that was required in order to get any kind of help in #cplusplus or #programming? Took a lot of humility and you had to eat a lot of crow back in those days. ah, seeking help on EFNet - the old rite of

This is always inevitably thrown out there as a straw man whenever capitalism is discussed online. A variation on Godwin's Law for post-modernists. The typical response is that "They're not, they're free to work as much

when it comes to word-games, you're putting on one heck of a display. Capitalism isn't a vague ideology - it's literally defined as: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlle

Don't be so obtuse. we aren't talking about individual aspects, the author clearly suggests a fundamental change of the entire system. flawed child labor laws, or a lack of thereof, do not define capitalism.
