I avoid reading the Guardian on principle. The HN discussion is more intelligent than whatever was on the article.

So cry me a river then when Meta asks for the money owed (so far Meta did not). I would expect someone motivated by the truth to put this out on a blog or podcast for free.

Reporting crimes is protected by law. See the whistleblower act.

She could have started a blog if she was motivated by truth. But she chose the book deal. Quoting from Casino: “It’s always the dollars. Always the %$!@ dollars.”

Because whatever Sarah reports in that book is probably not an actual crime. Look up Whistleblowers act for reference.

This liability would most likely prevent Sarah from getting a new loan (for example to move away from it all). And in theory bankruptcy means not being able to fulfill existing liabilities-which Sarah is most likely not able to. But practic

Reporting crimes is protected by law: see the whistleblower act. What is being hidden here is some dirty laundry.

Cry me a river. The person who wants to get rich here is Sarah. If she was motivated by exposing some dirty laundry inside Meta she could have started a blog or podcast. But she went for the book deal.

This is a false (and dare I say dishonest?) analogy. Reporting crimes is protected by law [0] If the author would report a crime she would be protected. The author is just airing some dirty laundry. She was paid money in exchange for not ai

Thanks for the trouble to read the article and to give a summary. I avoid reading The Guardian on principle.

I preface my post by saying that I do not drive one of these cars that use touch screens to input car actions. So maybe what I am describing below is already done. I reject the idea of touch screens for car functions because it takes more t

I do not trust anything coming out of Tesla. If you have a third party report that would be more credible (i.e. a report not made by car companies or their customers).

Your point is very difficult to understand. I answered your question even though I did not understand its relevance.

Huh? To answer your question: yes, I absolutely volunteer myself and my kid to be alive as long as possible. If possible I would volunteer you and your family to stop getting medical care when all of you get old. Fair?

Are you volunteering yourself and your kids to not taking medication and seeing doctors in your old age? Or are you volunteering "other people"?

In the world of 6% interest rates it is expensive to pre-pay. So definitely an issue. Prepaying also takes away some of cloud computing's financial flexibility .

Someone will have to take the risk that the customer will walk away from the deal. Insurance companies maybe would pool different customers in some insurance pool? An alternative would be to ask the customer to pay in advance for 3 years. T

Re: "Look at tax receipts relative to GDP. We've never taxed harder than we do now. " - would you mind sharing some data sources for this. Thanks a lot!

Bowing your head in church and keeping your mouth shut when the pastor says something silly is very different than behavior in an advanced math class (I do not know about powerlifting gym). In the advanced math classes I attended discussion

Has anyone seen the movie Idiocracy? Because the whole premise of this movie is exactly what you wrote. Watch the first 5-10 minutes of the movie if nothing else.

It is hilarious :) "Idiocracy" is where the "only sky deity worshippers pro-create" movie ends. I happen to have religious friends. They invited me once to a Christmas dinner - about 5 families. My and my wife were the o

I think you need to go out more often:). But seriously: this type of social connection works for some people and does not work for others. At church you are not allowed to question. When people pray you are supposed to bow your head. You ar

How does the congregation chip in for new babies? Does the congregation provide cheap daycare? Or cheap college ? Lack of both was the main reason me and my wife have only 1 child. My religious friends also have 3 kids for each family. Coll

This approach could create a black market where,say, high school seniors would buy these tokens and resell to high school sophomores/juniors.

I stopped reading the Economist a few years ago for this exact reason. It looks like it is still the case. Any article mentioning reserve currency without mentioning Triffin dilemma is not serious. Any article mentioning how US dollar will

At big tech companies HR is also full of Indian employees. Guess which candidates make it out in front of hiring managers or which candidates get interviews? American workers: your goose is cooked!!

How would this be an incentive for Microsoft to require RTO though? Even if Microsoft would receive tax breaks from the city because employees own property and pay property taxes - the city would get the same amount of property taxes if emp
