It's sad but some people are so immensely lazy, they'd rather circle the block in an SUV 10 times than walk 5 steps. So, when such people are asked to produce regulations: the results are predictable.

Sure, it's a good thing that the option exists that employees can be fired at will. but, that doesn't mean that firing is a good thing. If someone is fired or laid off, it means the company has failed in some way. Either they h

Sure it looks cool now, but how long until they nerf it and break it like they did the Ipad 1. I can't even use the app store anymore on my ipad1 because apple broke it. I'm certainly not going to buy this anytime soon.

i suspect the remaining customers aren't very price sensitive, and not the type to try something new to lower their bill by a huge amount. the cable companies have realized this and decided to milk it for all it's worth.

Absolute insanity. This should be made illegal... seriously, if policians have enough time to deal with privacy issues and gdpr and they should have enough bandwidth to deal with stuff like this.

at the end of the day, what matters is the supply of jobs vs the supply of places to live. And if there's already too many jobs to residential areas, then I think it's quite responsible of them to say no to more jobs. It's

normally i'm against heavy handed government, but in the case of cell phones and other electronic devices being slowed down by companies/made unusable I am greatly in favor of this!

but that's one time transfer because there's nothing left to transfer. So, you really have to divide that by 20 or more years. so 500$ per head per year, really isn't that much.

The problem is not wealth inequality. The problem is lack of wealth. Even if you taxed every last billionaire in this country at 100% and stole every single asset from them, it still wouldn't get you anywhere: 2.7 trillion/ 300

i liked the idea of sharding your private key amongst 3 people you trust. seems like an interesting way to solve that problem.

i think it may have to do with the type. I won a free yearlong gym-membership in a contest, from a govt workplace and was told I would have to pay imputed taxes on it. Needless to say, I turned it down.

It's not just Amazon. The next generation is far less materialistic than generations of the past. No one can blame them for not wanting to spend 500$ on a Gucci gucci bag or 400$ on overpriced jeans, especially when they've got

yes, but functionaly it's the same thing. "Ownership" in other countries is just a legal construct. It's not like you can do whatever you want with it. There are countless rules and regulations you must follow - you c

the prices you've heard about are the top of the top. In many other cities in China, you can get much much cheaper housing. I know a family that just bought a 1500 sq ft, 3 bedroom apartment at the top of a skyscraper for a mere (100

Do you also think it's silly that credit card companies can charge merchant fees from 2.5% to 5% for everything you purchase. Whether or not you use a credit card, you still end up paying the fee because it still gets passed on to you

I just want to qualify point #3 "It can be monetized and marketed." This was once true about 7 to 10 years ago, but no longer. There are some that work tirelessly for years hoping for a pay off at the end, the vast majority of w

i've been fasting 15-16 hours a day everyday for the last 6 years and it's certainly helped me keep my weight about 10 lbs lower than I would have with just dieting. Before that I always subscribed to 3-5 meals a day hypothesis.

Alot of people have been unemployed for quite some time and certainly aren't going to be able to negotiate that. I mean what are they going to do if it doesn't work out? wait another 3 years for another job.
