"They're not usually focused on CEOs specifically, but the main argument is that wealthy people use their wealth to give them political influence, which helps them pass laws that "unfairly" benefits them. (Or, if you don

I see bigotry, stereotypes, and generalizations are alive and well on HN. This is not an argument.

"This is terrible, and must be stopped!" Grand theft is already a crime, how else do you 'steal wealth'?? "Do CEOs create or steal wealth?" CEOs don't 'steal' wealth. They are paid to do a job th

"Yet the rate is a fraction of what it was 30+ years ago" ...yet the US is now the most prosperous nation on earth and our poor still have cell phones, a basic roof over their heads, and aren't eating rocks in the dirt. A 90

The US already has the one of the highest corporate tax rate in the world and the wealthy pay the majority of taxes. There is no inequality here. We shouldn't de-incentivize prosperity. We need to create more tax payers, not less (or

What you really need to look at is how did they grow up?? A household that values education?? Plenty of immigrants from early 20th century that came to the US now have successful kids/grandkids because they valued education. Computers

The state is neither corrupt nor incompetant? Really?? If this is the case, why so much interest in black lives matter?? There seems to be this spread of misinformation (especially on HN) that evil business owners aren't paying their

My wife does all of the the financials and product management, while I Concentrate on the tech side of things. It really made our relationship stronger. We also see each other 24/7, which could be a problem for some couples.

There isn't much you can do, besides slowly re-writing the codebase until you get to the point where new changes don‘t take as long.

by bobby_9x 11y ago
You need to figure out why you arw coding slower. Is it because you don't know the code base? Is the code base terrible?

I always hate a job after a year, when a manager or boss eventuallu forces my hand and we do something that is stupid or leads to failure. High salary and perks could never fix this for me. So, i startd my own company about 5 years ago, and

Exactly my point. Taxes don't need to be raised.

The top 10% pay over 80% of the federal taxes in the US. This, combined with one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world means they are already paying more than their "fair share".

Talking about anecdotal temperature data, which isn't climate, isn't helping the climate change movement. To me, it's like saying that the temperature is below freezing today, so global warming isn't true.

Well, this is the direct result of rampant music piracy over the last decade. It brought the perceived value of a song close to 0 and made ot so the only people that can survive are big name artists.

I've seen products marginally succeed with major conceptual and technical debt. But in the long-term, it's always bad news. It's more difficult to compete because you can't easily move forward without breaking a bunch o

a new domain will be worth more in terms of skill set than an new language, as long as you already know a modern language that companies actually use (IE: python, etc).

by bobby_9x 11y ago
The only think that has really worked for me is a combination of flash cards (Spaced-Repetition) and actually practicing the language. Many of these apps seem like gimmicks to me.

Who said they are static? "The general idea is that you can increase overall productivity with education" But does this general idea actually work? Unless you just give everyone a diploma, the problem will just be pushed further

On top of the fact that the US has one of the largest corporate tax rates in the world, free tuition won't allow the poor to get better jobs. It will merely set a new bar that everyone will need to adhere to, to get a job. IE: a bache

The current academic environment is not conducive to a startup founder. I started one a few years ago and it not only takes huge risks, but the ability to stand up to people all over the place that will try to bring you down and only hinder

I honestly don't think the officer had time to find out or use non-lethal force. Anything besides a gun would not have had the range nor the stopping power in this situation. To me, the moral of the story is to think twice before aimin

A tragedy, but a fair outcome. The officer had no idea if the 12 year old had a fake gun or a real gun (the orange tip was ripped off the end of the gun). In an article here: http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014&#x2

See: detroit. 5x was spent for 30 years until the entire system collapsed when enough tax payers fled the city. This is the result of your plan.

I agree with you here. We shouldn't be taking away money from our public school systems. We should be fixing the current situation and making people accountable for the wasted money. My parents grew up near detroit and they told me a
