The curfew was ordered by the mayor, an elected official (LA in the case of the video you linked), not the police.

Dozens of employees. Put in PTO. Facebook has 44k+ Employees. There are protests going on across the US/World. If anything the news should be how few employees are part of this.

Counterpoint: Is it really fair to say this is "more surveillance"? Requiring employees to be on site where there is a manager present is a form of intrusive surveillance. Wouldn't this kind of monitoring simply be an effort

Its not a zero sum game. Many billionaires - including the ones referenced in the article - got that way by executing on ideas/products that improve society. Think of all the ways companies created by billionaires progressed our qualit

Rich people aren't spending all their money on stuff, they're investing it. If wealthy people were to take all that wealth and start buying stuff (themselves or via redistribution through taxes to UBI), there isn't magically

Not sure I follow how the milk as a substitute for water analogy translates to housing. There are no substitutes for housing in desirable areas. When the entire working class suddenly has more income, it doesn't create more housing, it

Appears to be powered by Bing. The search results are nearly identical. More importantly snippets for each site are identical, which is the real giveaway.

I'd argue the %s are not intuitive either way. In fact, if P(A) does happen, and there really is an unlucky doppelganger, that person is very likely to be charged. That could have been avoided with technology produced gave 5 other susp

Question for people that are anti facial recognition. What methods of identifying people are you ok with? Are you ok with the police/news asking other people to help identify someone? To me that sounds like facial recognition with extr

San Francisco has the #1 highest property crime rate in the country. Can hardly compliment their policing policies. https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/The-Scanner-San-Fr...

Stock based comp expense. If Amazon paid these employees cash instead of stock, Amazon's cash profits would have been lower. Instead they pay in stock, and employees pay the tax (which they're happy to do because the stock keeps g

Definitely a one-sided title designed to get clicks and drive outrage, but we are talking about buzzfeed news here. Dismissing a valid (albeit sensationalized) point by saying "probably an article by some lobbyists" doesn't h

The assumptions in your screen capture are dramatically more aggressive than any company in history. E.g. You are showing 60% yoy revenue growth 10 years in. For comparison: Google in year 10: 31%. Amazon in year 10: 23%. Dropbox in year 10

Jump bikes are 250 and yep, pretty good for SF hills. 250 W goes a lot further on an ebike (as a compliment to to leg power) than a scooter.

The old Bird and Lime scooters had 250W motors. The new Skip scooters have 350W (plus suspension which is nice). The skips can get to a walking pace up to ~10% grade, but grind to a halt anywhere near Nob/Russian Hill. You need at leas

Stanford sold for an average of $187 per share for the 1.8mm they received. That was years later at the IPO beyond. At the time they received them the value was far far lower (likely on the order of what I suggested). And the license amount

Artistic skill itself has become commoditized, it's all about the brand. The key to fame/high valuations in all marketing and building a following. If you have two artists that can create the same works, one could charge $20k and

Another interesting change that’s happening, that this article omits, is that artists/factories are able to reach customers directly on Alibaba/Amazon/Etsy. A few years it would have required visiting artists/factories D
