>Aetna for example has seen a 400% jump in their stock prices in the last 5 years. In all honesty, what would you expect? The ACA forced millions of people who didn't have health insurance to buy health insurance, and investors resp

I wish that there was a calculator out there that would allow you to build your own healthcare system, so to speak. You could tweak attributes such as funding mechanisms, etc. I imagine this hypothetical calculator could function like this

At this point, is anybody surprised by this? It's quite clear that when it comes to sponsoring groups in the Middle East, we just throw money/weapons at anyone, no matter who they are.

The article talks about how airlines are being hurt due to customers choosing to take high speed train versus flights. Are these trains being heavily subsidized, and if so, wouldn't that explain why consumers are opting to take the tra

There's a fair amount of engineering talent out here. However, it's mainly focused in the auto industry which has never been seen as a sexy industry until the recent push into self driving cars.

You wouldn't be able to gift them the land, but you would probably be able to waive property tax on said land. I know Detroit has a city income tax, so the mayor may be able to waive that for all Amazon employees if they committed to m

>But maybe the job isn't economically worth it at the higher salary? You seem to be assuming it's worth doing at any price, as does the article, and that's untrue. In that case, something's got to give. Either the wag

I feel like that would've made the title too politicized, as it is it's quite neutral.

There actually was an unofficial Snap client for Windows Phone for a time. I thought it was pretty good to be honest.

Another crazy millennial here. I don't have an Instagram either, and frankly I don't want one. As for why HN hates Snap, I'm not exactly sure. Is it because the average user on HN is older and isn't targeted by Snap? May

>I'm assuming it's just to push the "anti immigration" narrative? Yes. It's a quick act that he can use as an example to his base that he's taking care of perceived immigration issues.

Here's[1] the link to the actual French government page that talks about the visa in detail. I wonder how much of an impact this'll have since it requires the applicant to have a masters degree or higher. [1] http://vis

>The whole app is a UX disaster of proportions. As a UX designer, I think that Snapchat did this on purpose. They know that "the olds" will grow frustrated with the UI and won't use it, but they know that the younger crowd

Agreed, the subsidies that these industries receive distort the market. The question is whether the the electric car industry will follow in their footsteps in successfully defending their subsidies, or whether the subsidies will be rolled

I'd say that Chicago goes bust before Illinois does as their situation is more dire, and there's no way that the state would be able to take on their pension debt.

I don't know if I would call the Detroit market hot, it took me about 3-4 months to find a new job. However, I'm not a software developer, so rhat could also have something to do with it.

Why is the third point a reservation? Is the SEC afraid that somebody could manipulate the share price due to the lack of liquidity?

I second this recommendation. If you're a person who enjoys historical fiction, you'll love this book. I found it a tad difficult at first, but it quickly sucks you in.

I wish the author had gone into more detail as to how we elevate users to the skill level that they can use more "power user" oriented interfaces. Is it more training for the elderly, more exposure to computers when children are y

They would probably be flagged in the IRS database, and if they owed the IRS money, that money would be deducted from upcoming paychecks.

I believe your second point (considering foreigners only if no qualified Americans can be found) is already codified into law, or is at least highly suggested. From what I understand, companies will tailor the job description in such a mann
