I believe that is the solution to the problem and I'm not sure why others don't see it. Stop taxing labor. It's counterproductive. Tax what really does belong to everyone... the land and raw materials. This approach (in addit

And how is what we are doing now not barbaric? Which is actually more barbaric? It turns out people sometimes see the barbarism in others while missing their own. There is a reason public executions happened for so long (and still happen in

Not only is the criminal justice system abusive (a problem itself) it plain isn't working. The thing is... there are some extremely bad people in the system who know the ins and outs and consider prison just another place to abuse othe

A managers job is to get things done using YOU as the tool. Your happiness is as irrelevant to this as the happiness of your keyboard. If you work better happy... fine, that's a consideration. But really it's the only one. The goa

Here's an important niche mosquitoes fill. Keeping the human population in check... But there are arguments about how necessary this role really is I guess.

Meth users are also (in my limited experience) considerably more prone to antisocial/obnoxious/violent behavior than opiate addicts. It might be harder for people to have sympathy for them VS. a person who quietly struggles with a

I've been a 10x developer. But it wasn't all me that did it... it was those around me being .1x. So ya... it does take a team to make 10x programmer. I can't claim I was 10x smarter than my coworkers. I wasn't. But I kne

It seems that would produce little but similar problems to those the EU is having.

Basically I agree but there is an additional way one starts to learn about best practices.... Having to maintain/extend a project you've written (poorly) for an indefinite amount of time. Next time around you are a lot more carefu

I'm of the opinion that eventually (soon) human emotions/gut level feelings will be replaced with a controlled layer. In an earlier time hunger, fear, (and probably even things like love and religious sentiment) had strong purpose

The government is slow and clumsy but Apple hires fast lawyers and lobbyists. So I wouldn't count on that.

Funny, after reading the first half dozen or so Medium articles I felt exactly the opposite. It was junk and now I expect junk from Medium and was a bit surprised to read a good article a couple of weeks ago. Since then it's been junk

That "be who you are by 25" part of the comment is just silly. You don't have to burn the world down by 30, and outside of the tech industry very few do.

2.7 million is from the article. But looking back you are right, it's an average not a cutoff.

What may be more attractive is a one stop subscription to a number of worthwhile sites. Enough quality content that the reader then spent most of their online reading time there instead of in the slums. Economics is way to provide compensat

2.7 million puts one in the richest 1%? Unexpected, but I guess it makes sense. There are still a lot of very poor in the world. I started to think "injustice" when I saw the article, but 2.7 million will barely buy a nice house i

Timing is the key. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Between Christmas and New Year a massive surprise blizzard hit the area I live in. We were on vacation and got home a few days later. We couldn't get back into town for 2 days because the roads were closed (snow in infrequent enough he

Maybe they can monitor the trucks with video feeds. Get a union together and demand only one monitor per worker and have laws passed that all trucks must be monitored with video feeds. I think dock workers used to unload ships and my unders

Like your article. Especially agree with this phrase "authoring and maintenance considerations should trump kilobyte savings" (within boundaries of course).

Oh they are certainly real people. Real people who will beat and rob you for $3. That's just how people can be at their basest level. Communication and charity doesn't go very far on that plane of interaction. Of course if you are
