I know we're feuding in the other thread, but I just happen to flat-out disagree with you on this. Believe it or not, I'm open to being convinced. Care to share what you're basing this statement on?

Well, that's fine, but do you also want to argue that women and pacific islanders, on average, have received fewer advantages than poor white people from Appalachia?
274.
by jeremyt 12y ago
Here's my question: Do you honestly believe that a poor white person from Appalachia, who has received very few advantages in life, deserves to lose out on this opportunity because his skin happens to be the wrong color? Does he get fe

Well, to be fair to you, I was trotting out the discouraged rich people trope. It's rich people who have the most elastic working hours and income.

Well, I suspect one of the reasons why they can do that is because they're charging you $90 per month for a 2 Mb connection. I pay $27 per month here in the state for a 25/5 connection that routinely gets about 8/3.

You should read paragraph number 5 again. It concedes that at least 25% of the reduction in reported income is due to working less.

I'm willing to concede that the effect is uncertain at low and middle incomes, but I think it has been shown quite convincingly that when tax rates go up the rich work less.

by jeremyt 12y ago
To answer your question honestly, it's going to depend on how much disposable income I have. If I'm making enough to pay for all of my needs and wants after the rate goes up, then I'll probably work less... Because what'

This is just false. Even Slate, which is hardly a right-wing bastion, concedes that there is an effect ( http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/20... ) If we subjected you to a 99% tax rate t

Or maybe he just happens to believe what he says? Maybe he believes that the sensitive information that Snowden released is damaging the security of the US? I personally think Snowden was a traitor. He released way more information than was

Well, no, I'd really prefer the tyranny of no one. As in: if I have a political view that differs from the majority, I'd like to be able to hold that view and still keep my job based on how well I do my job. What if I have a famil

You call it a marketplace of ideas; I call it tyranny of the majority.

Rap genius was penalized, but then the penalty was quietly lifted after a couple months. Tell me a less well-connected company would've gotten such a deal.

No, I'm making the claim that if you get in trouble with SEO - even if it's an honest mistake - being on the good side of the Google team can mean the difference between your company surviving or dying. I can point to rap genius a

Whether I agree with your point or not, I don't think that changes anything. My argument stands even if I change the words "now that" into "since"

With respect, I think it's a safe bet that this organization wasn't formed to prevent Russia or China from participating in domestic politics. It seems squarely focused on the David Kochs and Tom Steyers of the world. And if Russi

Considering what recently happened at Mozilla, and other examples where we see protesters showing up at people's private homes, I oppose this effort. I used to think that disclosure was the answer when it came to campaign-finance refor

Whatever. I'm sure we can find something completely unrelated in his background to disqualify him. Just give the Internet a little bit of time.

This article doesn't address whether "recycling is worth it" or not, and instead basically states a truism: If you have X amount of stuff, and you divert Y amount of that stuff to other places, you will be left with Z amount

I'm assuming the ship would be fortified to such a degree that by the time you could "hack" into the steering system or offload any decent amount of cargo, the authorities would have been notified and would be en route. Not t

Did anyone else read this and think that it might be a good way to do away with piracy also? If there's no steering wheel to grab a hold of, there's no way to steal the ship, and with an absence of hostages, it would be a lot easi

Because everybody can find a position that they don't like that somebody else has taken. If we start dragging all these issues out and start boycotting everyone, it will rip the fabric of our society apart.

Thanks for the link. It's an interesting idea, and if I spent very much time messing with HTML and jquery, it looks like it could save me a lot of time. My specific case is that I don't really have any HTML to work with, just wire

I thought I'd just jump in and add here that while we ultimately had to roll our own solution because we outgrew them, Mixpanel had hands-down the best support that I've ever experienced of any company.
