How about wealth inequality is real? And billionaires such as Elon, Bezos and other shouldn’t exist. If you’re not a major shareholder, you’re a sucker for paying income tax.

This is marketing for Veracode which is crap by the way. You can’t assess for risk without knowing anything about the environment, compensating controls and business logic. Veracode is a check-the-box enterprise compliance tool that reduces

Wow. Yeah, that’s not what happened. I previously worked in music first at CMJ, UrbMag then Fader before working with a few indie and major labels on the digital side. Don’t try to rewrite history to make this a political or “wokeness” thin

Are you saying one should never refer to ethnicity when describing people? It appears to be merely descriptive writing. As maybe this phenomena is localized to American people who identify as white, young and wealthy. How would it differ if

It’s not the results. It’s what happens after. More scanners aren’t what we need because vendors still can’t meaningfully answer the most important questions: - Is the vulnerability valid based on the environment it was found in? Solve this

If e-commerce were so easy then Amazon would not have 38% of US online sales. Their next biggest competitor is Wal-Mart with 6%. Logistics isn’t trivial but Amazon literally built their business overnight while FedEx literally has tons of g

I don’t trust FedEx to do e-commerce well. Maybe, Shopify should buy FedEx.

This. I agree. The HN community largely likes to criticize media but fundamentally they don’t understand it. “The media is a business to generate income by grabbing attention” This has always been true. Media has been sensationalist since i

I agree with Piketty that inequality is a political choice. Keep in mind pre-communist China rulers often would flip the “capitalism” switch and redistribute wealth whenever they felt inequality was too high. See: https://en.m.wi

I agree that zoning could be improved. Maybe I don’t understand your comment but algorithmic price fixing is very much a thing across many many industries where participants collude on pricing. If the outcome is the same, it doesn’t matter

I disagree. In this time of tremendous wealth inequality, I welcome their in-depth reporting that holds the powerful accountable regardless of what side of the political sphere they sit. ProPublica is demonstrating that they will report on

Buying a NBA team isn’t like a buying a boat. I spoke with Steve shortly after he bought the Clippers and he told me… 1. He’s a sports fan 2. The asset value of major market teams along with the accompanying real estate generally increases.

This is interesting. In the US, I have found that what HR will tell you is different than what your hiring manager will enforce. My hiring managers were often much more permissive and allowed 4 day work weeks and “unlimited” time off provid

Considering the $100 million loss at MGM and the $500mm loss at Clorox, it makes total sense that they are going after them especially considering their private equity owners actively avoided their risk management duties. Additionally as a
