Run for elections or get a job in government. There are 90 thousand government agencies. Local, city, county, state, etc... There are people out there who wants you to think they are all like the DMV or dysfunctional like the Senate and Con

It is no different. All communication is biased, and everybody has an angle. It is the joy of being a thinking social animal :)

Not because they said the organizer isn't eloquent or smart, but because Amazon wants to make this person the face of the movement. They're trying to make the whole movement look dumb by proxy, or that anyone who joined the moveme

I posted this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22601270 as an Ask HN couple days ago but since this thread has more traction, I wonder if I can get your input here. The text: Ask HN: My mom is a pediatrician. Best tempo

LinkedIn suggested a post from you a couple weeks ago and I remember thinking “what’s Ivan up to?” and I saw Datasaur. Congrats on YC! I know that our time at Yahoo was a brief overlap but I remember the swirl of ML, Knowledge Graph and lab

A common approach is people believing they can be their own bosses. Not so much about business opportunity or an itch to scratch. Anyway, why speculate? It's easy to find online articles and research showing why people have started the

I know that, since I came to the US on a L1 visa. I am saying our Indian friend could be on a L1 visa, which makes negotiating for a higher salary more scarier.

H1 is bad but if the visa is L1 this situation is worse. You don’t even have the option to switch employers.

I don't disagree, but I think that view is complimentary to regulation being created and discussed and implemented. People see organizations doing bad stuff, create constraints, which a lot of times the organizations welcome since rais

Why not both? Or rather, all of that? The fact salaries for the bottom half of America are flat for 40 years doesn’t change the facts on Russia and FB.

And how are you going to force browsers to do that, if not through regulation? What about mobile apps? Gotta get OS makers in that too. Put Google and Apple and all the Android variations there. Plus there’s FB own devices, like Portal and

I did _not_ say he's doing this just for tax reasons. I asked if the $10b are really $10b that won't result in any tax breaks? Is Bezos letting go of $10b, or will he get a deduction, perhaps using a similar formula to the one you

Thanks, that's useful information in the context of this thread. Looks like the money will come straight from him and not any foundation - something unusual these days, but it does show his level of commitment.

I think we can quibble on what central really means, but the fact that they're democratically elected is the important part here. We make the government, and can direct its actions to what should benefit us the most. None gets a saying

> That said, I think GP is expressing skepticism that the total $10B figure comes from Bezos' personal fortune rather than being a spending plan for AMZN's business. The article doesn't exactly make this clear. Yep, more a

This "single" central power is actually 250M potential voters, 130M actual voters, 20M workers, 90k, 50 states, and 20k cities / town / villages. On the other side, 600 billionaires. Which because they figured out how to

Well, three things. First of all, I searched and couldn't find he's actually giving $10b. What I mean is that I don't know if the $10b accounts for any Amazon investments / costs. Second, it's not -$10b if he's

After reading Winners Take All my level of cynicism is through the roof with headlines like this. $10b of his own personal fortune? That won't results in tax breaks / deduction because can be considered a donation? Or does that in

No, don't stay away. That's not how these things happen, anyway. You don't start a relationship exploring anyone's childhood and family issues, you start by asking: "So how was our weekend?" And then if people,

I think nappy-doo's point is what happens when taxes, mortgage, health insurance, food, shopping, etc is NOT taken into account. If you make $100k but spend $150k you're in the red, doesn't matter how effusively you celebrate

The article actually hints that there are too many VCs (with lots of money, sure) and not enough good deals. Doesn't mean your opinion is right or wrong or invalid, since I personally happen to agree with this line of reasoning, but I

In Brazil they're taxed, but the published numbers are after tax. So you essentially get more than what's advertised, then taxes are applied at the source, and you end up with exactly what you expected.

Yes, talk to your manager. They will hopefully either mentor/coach you and/or find people to do it. If you don't let them know, once a manager role opens in your org, even if your name comes up as a potential person, anyone e

That's such an useless approach to any discussion. People live under a power structure (democratic government) and expect some things from it. We can all blame each other for the choices we make but choices have a glass ceiling and cas
