The lesson of the last 5 years (!) of Steam on Linux is that not all native games work with Linux. MOST of the high profile (aaa budget) ports are shoddy. Virtually none of them run with equivalent Windows performance (let alone better perf

Discussing a rideshare worker's take-home pay as "profit" really accepts the framing of the company. Yes it's technically true that each driver is an independent contractor ("Small Business Owner"), but this d

This is only happening because self-aware socialist movements are starting to find a broad appeal. Paul Krugman discredited himself as a politico by spending the last 2 years staning for Hillary Clinton. In the process, he had to argue aga

MOOCs are the McDonalds-ification of education. It's disgusting honestly. Western Capitalism is utterly failing to provide a decent, affordable secondary education even to its relatively privileged middle class, so instead they try to

In case others are inspired by the Seattle example: you should know that their $15 minimum wage experiment was not a result of technocratic liberalism. It was a political fight by self-conscious socialists working in conjunction with SEIU f

Funny how moralistic value enters into the discussion when it comes to pricing wages. When it comes to any other commodity, the standard is supposedly "whatever the market will bear".

Two points for your consideration: #1: We clearly have the resources to publicly invest in innovative technologies like electric cars, AI and space travel. So why must these investments go directly into the hands of a few individuals to mak

How to build the future: Take $5B in public subsidy for boondoggle technologies, and then tell everyone you're fiscally conservative. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hy-musk-subsidies-2015...

I like this guy's spirit an ingenuity, but his attitude is not much different from the Infowars bunker people. There's no room in his van for society. You can tell because he only built a bed for 1. I'd rather live on a hipp

From the candidate who said he wanted to "re-negotiate NAFTA". This is a betrayal to American workers, and it's a disaster for the Pacific signatories. The TPP should be treated as a Treaty, requiring 2/3rd in congress.

The Democratic Party is showing its true colors in their handling of Sanders and their ridiculous debate schedule. By all measures, Sanders is a REAL candidate. He's got more support and more money than most of the jokers on the Republ

It's open to interpretation whether you want to blame this on "Wikileaks" or question their integrity over it. But it should be acknowledged that Daniel Domscheit-Berg 'stole' 5GB of Bank of America documents from W

You're right that it's a 'big number fallacy', but you've made many mistakes here: - $1B profit is only for a quarter, not for an entire year, for which you've attempted to roughly calculate labor costs. - $15

Automation is inevitable regardless. Keeping wages low will not prevent McDonalds from implementation labor-saving technologies.

Huh? If you can't afford to eat at McDonalds, maybe you should be protesting for a higher wage.

The state already subsidizes the cost of your Big Mac by providing foodstamps and assistance to McDonald's poverty-wage workers. McDonald's had a 'bad' 3rd quarter last year, which means they only made $1B in profit. It

Maybe turnover partially explains Walmart's willingness to raise wages. But above all, I think the modest wage hike is a response to worker's demands. There's a growing nationwide movement for $15/hour and a union in the
