So the law allows the perpetrator of a tort to be judge, jury, and executioner over its victims and then further allows that same perpetrator to lie to a federal court without repercussions and not even carry out the arbitration it promised

Basically parents are allowed to let their children die this way and this way only. If they let them starve or without shelter, cps comes. Seems like a strange exception in our laws to allow a parent's stupidity and idiocy to kill thei

Not patching servers for months and leaving them for attackers to exploit is definitely stealing. It doesn't matter how they got the data, they let others steal it and were therefore complicit in the theft itself due to negligence, wil

It's not callous, it's being realistic and trying to help others stay out of this miserable spot. If someone else is trying to do the same and the comment saves them months of work and thousands of dollars that would have been thr

Nonsense. Can you provide a way I can get Equifax and similar companies to stop stealing and selling my data? I've been trying to do that for decades. No. Your argument is bullshit. I didn't sign up for this shit and neither did a

About fucking time. Until legislation like this passes, nothing will change. I'm glad at least one of our senators has the balls to actually hold CEOs and companies accountable for their atrocious actions. This behavior should be crimi

I feel lucky to have had this experience with a regular Amazon account. It has made me realize that this is a regular part of doing business with such companies and is to be expected. Internet accounts can all be closed at any time for no r

What's wrong with the threat of starvation and homelessness as a motivator for innovation? Real innovators don't sleep, never take a day off, and work 26 hours a day. In America we know how to motivate people: threaten their livel

Originally Uber didn't allow tipping. I think it was at the request of the drivers, ironically, though I could be wrong.

My company pays zero severance. It's clearly stated in the handbook. I've worked at over a dozen places in the bay area and only two provided actual severance and in both of those cases, they were trying to avoid lawsuits / p

The problem is multi-faceted. On the one hand, you have a culture that largely celebrates ignorance and stupidity as something to strive for (especially up through 12th grade) and on the other hand you have universities costing a quarter mi

It's a different argument because it addresses a different point: "unsweetened works just as well in any scenario." Clearly, that's not the case as the sweetened and unsweetened versions are not comparable due to taste.

Yeah but the problem with unsweetened soy and almond milk (and even slightly sweetened) is that it's fucking disgusting so it has no use for me and for anyone that feels that way. I highly doubt any of the other veggie milks here are l

That's what happens when there are no consequences for bad actors. Is anyone surprised? A legit copyright claim can take down a copyright violator and "restore" the copyright holder's control of the copyright just as eas

Milk may not be the healthy food it was touted to be, but neither are most if not all of these "milks" that are basically mostly water and sugar. I'd take lactose over fructose or glucose any day. That's the main selling

What they're saying in this case, however, is that they will not pay a covered claim. That's why people are up in arms about it. Cyber war is their euphemism for yes we should pay this but we won't. It's a preposterous a

Sadly, even worker's compensation insurance that the state runs and that one is required to pay into by the state is the same way. I only wish I could stop paying the premiums to these crooks because I sure as fuck can't get treat

If they can't pay out in a case like this, they shouldn't be in business. I hope the affected insureds sue this scumbag insurance company into the bankruptcy it deserves. And if the whole cyber attack insurance industry goes belly

If the right thing to do is fucking over their employees, they definitely did the right thing. I'm sure plenty of people agree with you and don't see a problem fucking over employees, especially on HN. But the actual right thing t

Hasn't there been a single case that has gone to the Supreme Court over this in 60+ years? Or do they just refuse to hear them?

That's probably because foreign doctors don't know what they're getting into. From speaking with American doctors, many have been offered double the salary to go to rural and non-rural positions in the south and Midwest but t

It also shows the company and person asking this are completely out of touch with reality, basically arrogant idiots who think their candidate has time to research and make up a lie to answer their questions just like he has time to do the

Way to go Kris. I agree with him: if ghosting will cost the employer more and that employer has disrespected you, go for the ghosting. It is indeed easily as much a statement and as satisfying as any other method of quitting. So many employ

Of course. Drug sniffing dogs have been shown over and over to be about as effective as a coin flip in figuring out whether drugs are present or not, but they are still allowed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-w

That's actually a huge part of why I switched and stayed with FF: their dev tools are now much superior to Chrome. No more clicking an XHR link in the console only to be taken to the network tab and have to manually locate that XHR. No

Heroin hasn't been marketed as "virtually non-addicting" or actually non-addicting for quite some time, although that's pretty much the exact tagline it had when it first came out. It doesn't take a genius to see th
