Are you working on making this a reality? Or do you know of people who are, that you can share with us? Because complaining about, or refusing to buy, Amazon's or Google's offering, is not furthering your desired outcome. The only

I don't know about the economy at large, but this will certainly be more than an inconvenience to many of the Kim family's wealthy and influential friends.

This is a trope and not useful for solving problems of culture, psychology, or addiction. It is the same as saying "when you ban guns, only criminals will have guns" or "everyone has a choice, so choose not to do drugs".

"Never before" is a very shortsighted statement. I know we in tech like to think that mass/social media is pushing the limits of the human psyche to think and do things our ancestors' primitive brains would never compreh

Saying (of business) that "connections only get you part of the way" is like saying of getting into orbit that "rocket fuel only gets you part of the way". It is technically true, and a massive understatement.

Neither Google nor GoDaddy represent "America", and neither has an obligation to protect all speech within their respective spheres of influence.

The actual article does indeed address most if not all of the exact issues you just raised, for example: Why aren't teens working?... They're being crowded out of the workforce by older Americans, now working past 65 at the highe

Are there statistics on before/after this law was implemented? It seems that kidnapping would become massively underreported as a result.

As the article mentions (and in my experience having lived and cooked in Chinatown for years) this is fresh produce from small wholesalers, not near-expired undesirables. I don't doubt, however, that mostly untracked/untaxed cash

Honest curiosity: is it fraud (in the US) to claim that you are a member of a profession that you are not? (I am not saying that is what he intended to do here). For example, if someone owes me money, is it illegal for me to send them a let

The entire top comment thread belies this statement. HN humor just has a particularly nerdy bent, in a way entirely unlike the bleeding sarcasm you'd find on, say, Reddit.

The difference is that the sea level rise happens over decades, and the city will gradually move inland and upward as its (newly) beachfront property recedes. China's river delta cities can't.

A world-changing book, to be sure; though perhaps better to understand it in its cultural context, than to read it literally. In either case, for mature audiences only.
