You have a point about "you" being a personal attack, I don't see a button to delete though. Should have said, of all the causes we could take up

I mentioned in my edit the reply button disappeared. I could have appended the edit instead of changing it inline. No ill will, just trying to refine my analogy as you kept insisting false equivalence (ultimately analogies aren't equiv

Alright, you call false equivalence, I call petty fogging if you need your analogies to be perfect. So to make it a proper example: what if your employer had a job benefit to reimburse gas & electric car expenses to visit clients, and t

It never started. The employee's wages can be used however they please.

If you mean "rights" in a legal context, nowhere does an employee have a right to be reimbursed . The closest governing law here is fair employment, and this isn't anywhere close to that. edit: so long as work-related expens

No one's going to get sued for a reimbursement policy. They don't have an obligation to reimburse, and this falls so far outside of fair employment laws. HN is going nuts on this one.

A lot of comments seem to be missing the facts: - WeWork isn't forcing employees to be vegetarian (it's not like a hiring requirement) - most companies have restrictions and rules surrounding their expensing - WeWork has decided t

That doesn't weaken the argument, it just calls into question the argument that employers should pay for abortions.

What if your company said that they are starting a program to reimburse solar panel installation, but that program doesn't cover reimbursement for gas. Would your argument be that most of the world consumes gas, so they're "f

Re: why not "animals that eat other animals," the burden of proof here is with meat-eaters (those against killing people at least). There's a special status we afford to ourselves as humans, so why do we so easily accept the

Haha, even as an occasional meat eater I liked this comment. If this sort of comment is annoying, maybe time to inquire into the defensiveness. Maybe you have too much "skin" in the game?

I know this is off-topic, but does anyone know if these interviews are scripted? It feels like their reading their back-and-forth banter to each other. (Nothing wrong with that.)

I guess science has always been this contemptuous of both its ancestors and the religious. > The Buddhist finds his answer in a toleration for what he may neither understand nor alter. Huh? There is a rich spectrum of buddhist philosophy

Why is the first cohort from the 1960s? Is that a good baseline for determining whether the divorce surge is over?

I've worked in a lot of coworking spaces where inevitably someone starts a group to talk about the harsh realities of starting a business. It sounds like Gambler's Anonymous. Surprised to hear only 70% fail. Those odds actually so

If you want to cut to the root, you have to get rid of the "I." There's no suffering without an I who suffers. My grandma used to say "stop starring at your own belly button." There are many saints, sages, gurus (al

lol Blue Apron. "Kind of in the middle" is right. Bootstrapping well enough to pay the bills, but not so well to hire and grow, or compliment missing talent. Okay, thanks for the feedback!

Chat bot was terrible UX to begin with, because while you're at the screen, why not have a visual interface to show you all your options? Voice interfaces hold the promise of releasing us from the tyranny of screen time. I imagine walk

Don't be upset or quit, but I think it's also good to wonder why. Perhaps it's just not a VC opportunity; are you okay with growing a more organic company with smaller revenue? Maybe you're not a clear communicator; do y

In response to the environmental backlash argument, isn't the lightning network supposed to substantially mitigate those concerns?
