Sure, but the point is that you have to fight now. Personally, I think a union would be a GREAT move, and I'm surprised he didn't stress that more.

This is amazing. Of course a full train or bus can be an order of magnitude more efficient, and so should be installed and run where there’s demand, but replacing the prohibitively-expensive private option of Uber with an affordable, if slo

So so sad, and was always coming when the investors installed a new CEO who dropped their B-Corp status https://www.ecommercebytes.com/2017/11/30/etsy-gives-b-corp-...

This is an obvious but very powerful move by Stripe. Stripe is attempting to allow any business to become a place you can buy crypto, which will be really important to remove Coinbase and other CEXs as the only consumer-facing platforms whe

Do you think it would be difficult to allow the different HN servers to federate their content across regions?

If they set up payments through a provider outside the US I don't see how a local police force is going to be able to track those payments.

The truck only has to drive down the street once, as opposed to 5 trucks driving down the same street?

Right, but I hope you also acknowledge that the US does not have very many flexible, customizable offerings competing in healthy markets? There is barely a US industry left that isn't completely captured by 2-5 corporations. We may h

Indeed it might! I personally hate paying a chunk of my annual income to the department of defense. But "the US govt" sure describes a large machine, and it's worth highlighting that some parts of that machine are better than

Thanks KittenInABox. Politicians absolutely do get credit when they improve actual systems and improve people's lives. People like it, and will vote those politicians back into office. But it has to be actual, felt, day-by-day changes

That is super rad, and markets can be so dope, and nothing beats good fair service like that, but doesn't it also seem kind of crazy inefficient to have 5 different company's trash trucks running around the city? Maybe I'm wr

Great write up on the USPS banking pilot: https://prospect.org/economy/postal-banking-test-in-the-bron... Not a fun outcome but the fight isn't over, yet.

Takes political courage and public pressure. There is a little bit of that being exhibited by the current administration, but it's also pretty clear that another potential administration would have had a lot more potential to fix these

Some governments actually govern decently well, certainly way better than the US. I assume you haven't actually read much of said documented history.

I have received video pitches like this, as cold emails in my inbox, from people I don't know, with a thumbnail to a video that I just had to click to see wtf was going on. The guy in the video said my name and where I work while givin

By far the best reporting on this I've found is Matt Stoller here: https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/facebook-hits-1-trillion-... Highly suggest a sub, he only writes about American monopoly power.

Airbnb ran huge marketing campaigns against local governments (including in SF) and lobbies, as well. Very aggressive stuff.

Sure, let's assume we can (and in fact should) grow endlessly on a finite planet. I'm sure that'll work out.

Sorry, but if you don't think the entire Democratic machine has been working against a Sanders win for 5 years, you haven't been doing enough research. I know you don't like him, and you are 100% entitled to dislike and vote

Just FYI - the purpose of the public posts is (I believe) to leave yourself verifiable by others at any future time. So then nobody has to take Keybase's word for it that Keybase account X is linked to Facebook account Y, because I can

Hey thanks for the post, but how do I add CloudFlare's nameservers? DNSimple won't let me add NS records on the root domain: "You may only delegate subdomains". So in theory, I can fix the www subdomain, but my naked red
