No one said it was founded on capitalism. But that is our economic policy, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

I think you missed the point. All of those things are sold to do the purpose they're meant for. Someone isn't telling folks to drink gasoline. Actually someone probably is. . . Most would assume a supplement is safe. If it isn

It's not Capitalism, it's just a result of the judicial system that results from Capitalism. Right?

Yeah, these folks are basically naive libertarians (I know, repetitious). There's a middle ground, yet they go slippery slope and think the government is going to take their freedoms.

I mean, can't you take this to the extreme and see why it is a bad point of view. Anything is sell-able as long as we slap a warning label on it. That seems like a recipe for disaster, right? We sold a highly radioactive substance t

Thank god, I'm also well off and work hard. But I know plenty who work hard and aren't. Luck is a big factor.

I mean, you can be certain the big heads of companies are unionizing / conspiring against you (meeting behind closed doors to keep wages down, not poach, fix prices / rent, etc.). It's fascinating how the lower class has been

Yeah, I feel like the there is a ceiling in the current AI methodology. There's a lot of hype right now, and it's definitely a useful technology, but I don't see how it could become AGI.

I pay roughly 160 for a gig each month, but the connection is never actually that. Always spotty as well. :(

One of the biggest drug users in my life follows Islam. They have struggled with quitting, having a large period of success, but ultimately went back. No one is immune I'm afraid, religion isn't a magic trick.

This is a joke right? Most remote companies still have timezone restrictions, and the closest places to outsource from America in terms of timezone generally have great worker protections (aka, hard to fire). For the most part, you'll

Basically all about having a homegrown solutions for South Korea, so the money flows there rather than an international corporation. What will be interesting is if that homegrown solution is also used overseas, as then other countries will

I get likes now on my tweets and replies! Except they're all bots :)

The problem is you need a full sentence, plus surrounding sentences to properly translate a lot of things (aka context matters). So no matter what, conversations in your native speech would have to be delayed before translation.

Yes, Moccamaster is the way to go. I still do manual pour overs but it's hard to beat the Technivorm. I imagine it's because the kettle is less precise when it comes to temperature (and decreases over the pour), whereas the machin

Can I really use cash for every medical emergency, like cancer or getting shot? Feels crazy but I guess I'll take your word for it. Interested in how old you are? None of my friends even in the far suburbs get by with 1k rent, it&#x2

I didn't even realize a life without cars was possible (and still doubt it outside of some very specific metro areas in the USA) until I was well into my late 20s. The environment I grew up wasn't conducive to anything beyond tryi

Can you give some concrete examples of inorganic, overwhelming influence? And then perhaps contrast it with some concrete organic, overwhelming influence examples. But that's a bonus.

Yeah, they should be obligated to pay for the length of the non-compete. 1 year? Okay, you're paying me for a year.

I wish they would go after addictive games instead, with micro-transactions built to raise young gambling addicts.

Yep, also focuses on making sure folks are great at communication. It's one of the cornerstones of great remote teams, and going RTO is just a bandaid to allow bad communicators to monopolize other folks time with endless face to face

Cool, they just bought my mortgage a few months ago. Very awesome.

It's especially weird when these companies can comply with stricter regulations in foreign countries. Just make it without the weird shit everywhere!

Reminds me of my history teacher in 2008 telling me about the free speech zones that already existed to squash meaningful speech / protest. And regardless, the feds would bus you up and force you to leave cause what are rights. Just

My favorite version of talking about this sort of stuff was from a company that acquired the startup I was at. "We retain 90% of our top 10% of talent". Riiiiight.

But will the JavaScript Framework I'm using outlive my application? Most folks would answer yes I think. The lifetime of apps is surprisingly short.

It is surprisingly normal in my experience to have doctors fail to mention nerve damage etc. It's absolutely wild to me.

I'd rather have less jobs, with better benefits / pay.

Nah, you're right. My friends all live in the same "suburbia" as me. 50 minute drive one way. We still just hang out online, cause no one wants to spend their life on the highway. Wish we lived in a place with real transi
