There is an exceptional irony in investing in an exceptionally talented team as they are typically the ones with the smallest downside in failure.

Not to mention that this has to be one of the corniest things I've seen since the 90s. From a tech side it's interesting, but from an end user side it's something I would make fun of with my friends. I wonder how much of that

Ugh please stop. So much fake going on. Oakland is just like any city in the last 20 years. Just fine but still remembered for their past.

Remember kids, Oakland is actually closer to Market St/Mission than most of SF.

Ad blocking is interesting in that it shows what happens when something that probably should be regulated has not. And because of this the public trust has eroded and then the answer has become an arms race of ad blockers vs ads. Resulting

Because transportation is a vital element of our economy. The same problem with price gouging. Very short sighted market lock ups turn into much bigger problems. I guess we just need to learn this lesson once again. Edit: I should add that

I find this so interesting as I have always felt if someone is paying me I make sure to give them exactly what they paid for and not a bit more. A market economy does not allow me generosity. When I'm writing code for myself or others

Anecdotal, but I've been aware of this fake review industry for probably about 6 years and I am amazed that almost everyone I talk to does not believe the scale and the scope. They think there might be one or two fake reviews on an Ama

Many people are against public transit based upon a very vocal(and wealthy) minority that is opposed to it being government run instead of private enterprise. It's essentially the opposite of the ideology that caused the build up of ma

Fun read. Not sure the author understands the fairly significant difference between punk and hardcore in the late 90s.

In other news Excel has replaced 1,000s of programmers. So sick of this lame tech worker bias with these "poors" jobs. These posts on HN really reinforce every stereotype toward tech culture. Please stop posting and upvoting this

That is absolutely correct about "involvement". It was a poor choice of words. I was talking about income taxation.

My apologies if my original comment appeared to be about it being unrealistic. It was about expansion of government involvement which personally I'm not particularly against(or for). I was talking about it being larger than it is now a

...and keep track of every single one of those US citizens' addresses and/or bank accounts. Every single one.

by hiou 11y ago
Considering the population involved in taxation is ~48% I feel like 100% is a bit higher. There is certainly additional tracking based upon the listing of dependents ect. but I'm confident it's less then every single US citizen.

by hiou 11y ago
My assumption was that Social Security typically only effects most US citizens after 65 and/or working(paying income tax). For example, while debated and likely not highly accurate, ~10% of the US citizen population doesn't have a

by hiou 11y ago
Which is a bit ironic because the infrastructure of basic income will require tracking of US citizens on a scale never before seen in the US. I'm not for or against basic income at this point, but it does make me chuckle a bit about id

Wow, this is an very bold and risky move. The familiarity with the Google search prompt plays a significant role in user retention. Is this a sign of Google worrying about their current situation?

The more I realize how much students struggle with setting up tooling for development, the more I start to wonder if we need to start focusing more on that instead of trying to skip it. When I first starting programming a lot of my difficul

I'm not sure. The halt is broadly applied across over the counter and exchange markets and introduces additional opacity into the system over a 5 minute window which seems like it could be useful to someone.

Are we sure causing those halts was unintentional?

More diet fad posts. Again, I have no idea what diet fads have to do with the stated relevance of this site. This is an opinion piece with little to no information beyond harping on one particular vein of diet ideology. I really hope these
