You are, and there are plenty of devices for you. This idea that because one or two device lines (surface, macbook) do something means that it is an assault on you (the collective) is tiresome. The great thing about capitalism is that you

The difference of course is that in the Deere case, it is a DMCA issue (read legal). Msft is not stopping you in any way from putting the OS that you want on the device, it is not stopping you from opening the device, it isn't even pr

There is no assault on the consumer here, you can do whatever you like with the device once it is in your possession. No one is forcing you to buy this.

Nah, this is pure Hanlon's Razor right here: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

It's because the money was already saved and is now expected to be spent (saving is delaying consumption until sometime in the future). So now that they aren't spending the savings, they are no longer in the process of 'savi

If you are just going to carve out a bunch of exemptions, which is what actually makes that tax code difficult in the first place, to end up with the same outcomes that we have now, why change anything? It would actually be even more diffic

Living longer != able to work longer. Making SS solvent isn't a hard problem, we know how to do it. It is simply politically hard.

In other words: The marginal utility of your first dollar is significantly higher than that of your last. Also known as the law of diminishing marginal utility.

This is such a ridiculous argument because you will never replace all taxes with a simple 20% tax since states, counties, localities, and ports all have the ability and incentive to tax and impose fees. Due to this, I will focus on what it

I do think that hard work and preparation can land you a job at these companies. I went from doing a manual labor job and never making over $33k/yr, to busting my hump 4 years in University to land these jobs. I also recognize that int

There is no proof that joining Google is a lottery ticket(ie: whether you get in is luck). I have interviewed at Google, Amazon, Msft all multiple times and have passed every single one of their interviews multiple times(ie: I've neve

Do those protesters not have autonomy to choose what they hear or whom may speak at their organization? Are they not allowed to say that an idea has no purpose except to poison and thus should not be uttered? You may not agree with the prot

I agree with your former argument/question, but this applies to a small fraction of people on both sides, but unfortunately causes us to paint with a broad brush. As to free speech, I assume you are talking about people like Milo, to w

Furthering your point. Consider that Paul Ryan also doesn't want to deport dreamers/daca or break up families [1] is it any surprise. This isn't a partisan POV, there are legislators on both sides of the aisle that recognize

For deep knowledge you may be correct, but I learned a ton in College. I went back to school with no programming experience at 28. By the time I graduated I had touched on nearly every one of those topics and I didn't take a CS class

That's not the real issue. The real issue is that tech workers are not the only one's coming here on H1B, and those professions don't pay nearly what an SDE gets paid.

Except, in this context, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and others aren't underpaying anyone. Also being a new grad != employable at one of these companies, and no, training isn't going to help them either.

Correct, this is how H1Bs are abused. But companies like Amafaceooglesoft are hiring H1Bs directly and pay wages, bonuses, and benefits that are equal to their US counterparts, thus, using the system as intended. They are also far more lik

Not sure why you are being downvoted. The Tesla S handles like a pig and you can't track the car because the battery can't handle it. These are valid criticisms. Though, the towing part of that episode I think was played up for th

With the exception of the most wealthy (ie, Bill Gates), I guarantee that there is a health issue that would bankrupt you. Also, if you are that wealthy, why wouldn't you insure your health? It would be a pittance compared to your over

While I don't disagree in principle, this is impossible to enact. Consider the case where this person who has chosen not to have insurance is in a car accident and render incapable of communicating. Responders and those at the hospital
