Correlation is not causation, and the period of time that dual class has been used this way is not long enough to establish causation. Wait until there’s a real crisis that runs up against the dual class share issue. That’s when the wheels

“One company that probably won’t be bidding is Apple Inc., the people said. The tech giant has eschewed controversial programming that could damage its brand, and it’s wary of offending China, where it sells a lot of iPhones.” Did Bloomberg

I mean I'm at 20% in 2 cost centers (ill give you back 3 single digits but not a digit more), and there's more math on how you actually save money in a single payer system than just those 2 things. I don't know where the ave

So there’s the profits, and there’s the costs of the profit system. Which is why you have to look in places like administrative costs which are something like 17% in private insurance. Profit is the money over revenue - costs, so yes the pr

False statement of fact is not protected free speech, and has a long history of case law. So I'm not sure about hand-wringing over the constitutional impacts is really a serious concern.

Yeah that parent comment was highly delusional. That’s not Sr. Dev money in northern Virginia / MD / DC which is definitely above median across US.

I’ll take a shot at it, with the caveat that I too would like to not be downvoted into oblivion xD. So discussion for the sake of discussion is not exactly what I would see as a high need for the workplace. If you are trying to address thes

The text of the 1st amendment discusses the Congress not passing laws that abridge the freedom of speech. It’s origin is for a people’s right to protest the government without retribution from the government. It has nothing to do with priva

Actually I think you kinda nailed it earlier with “among them: ...the people themselves”. A company’s / managers job should be to maximize each workers productivity and comfort (because comfort will lead to longer service, and longer s

Get help. Seriously. I don’t know why you’re keying in on me for making a comment about how Apple can’t just magically relocate millions of jobs to the US as being some kind of bad person. I’m purposefully not discussing the moral side of t

If this is the most spineless and gutless comment you’ve read on hackernews, then welcome to hackernews and I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the first comment you read here. Jesus, what an overreaction.

Many ovens have proof settings but they are basically just turning the light on and maybe running the circulator fan. That’s basically all I’ve needed for the minority of recipes I use that kinda require that. Most recipes don’t need anythi

Is that accurate though? So I live in recent new construction, and run the house fan for long periods of time/overnight, and the power bills are still the lowest I’ve experienced. Fans take very little power to run, compared to burnin

So the scientific process actually is extremely accountable & includes ideas like pushback through processes like peer review. There are bad studies but this is the classic case of getting no credit for the good job done 99% of the time

Yeah, this is a super-weird anti-Apple flex. There’s a lot of problems with it, mostly that damn near every tech product is manufactured in China, or using majority components manufactured in China, etc. But here’s the biggest problem I ha

Big, big fat disclaimer — not a doctor, not a nutritionist, but I am actively enrolled in the school of hard knocks. Soda specifically is going to give you a nice big dose of sugars which your brain is just going to love. But what you’re al

Classic whataboutism. Your 1 event is nowhere near equitable to what is going on in China, but even if it was, so what, now the world must endure unlimited pain, because 1 time 1 person tried to? It's a dumb argument, as are all Whata

It’s pretty impressive that Disney would make a pretty penny off their Netflix deal, while Netflix did (IMO) an admirable job with the Marvel IP, and even then at the end the relationship gets described as “adversarial” — by Disney, not net

I do pay for cable still as part of an internet bundle, definitely not hundreds per month. The #1 reason is because the Orioles (maryland baseball team) are only available through cable packages — the games aren’t broadcast over the air, t

Yeah came here to talk about the same thing. Teachers have a 40 hour a week in the school job paired with a 10-20 hour wfh job preparing lessons, grading papers, etc. Those summer months are paid for by extra hours during the school year as

I would totally play into “frictionless standups” and specialize the hell out of experience. For one, I think it avoids a lot of “creep factor” that other commenters keyed into. Second, companies are paying for non-slack standup conferencin

In teams that I’ve lead and the work I do, I’ve tried to really make sure that 1 person is not solely responsible for anything. We are a team, at least 2 people are involved between dev/review/testing/deployment, and we own s

He doesn’t think water should be a human right, he didn’t make a direct quote and the parent didn’t put anything in quotes so I don’t think there’s a problem here. A snopes “mixture” score isn’t something I’d bandy about like it’s an argume

Then you’re trading patience for the having your freedom-years statistically decreased. A fine decision for an independent actor but not the kind of thing strong societies are built on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Irish_arrangement I agree with you in like an end-state kind of way, but this issue was super ridiculous & used by nearly every multinational company over the course of decades.
