Whoa whoa whoa there chief. Don't move the goalposts. The article's author stated "High Skilled" not "highly- technically -skilled". He feels he's part of a highly skilled trade which was his reason for op

We also lean towards creating plenty of institutions in society. We have regulatory oversight groups. We have law enforcement groups. We have trade organizations and Parent Teacher Associations and lobbying interests and and and.

Got it. "my sick dying relative > your sick dying relative". Total morally reasonable now, thanks for clearing that up. Why are there going to be lines and waits with expanded healthcare coverage? Because people who need to see

"I don't want to wait in line, so make sure poor people can't go to doctors", which is the reason there are lines and wait times, is basically a cartoon villain argument and anyone making it should be treated as such.

Don't let "perfect" get in the way of achieving "good enough".

Yes and? I don't believe in 100% free speech. I don't think it's needed for society to function. That's fine if you do. But slippery slope arguments or "when the tides change" future-scenarios aren't super

I understand that it is a ticker symbol, but nobody on Hacker News means Diamondback Engegy when they say "FANG" "FAANG" or "FANG/FAANG Companies". But great point though.

>>But who gets to decide who gets a platform? What happens when those deciders abuse their power? The owners of the platform. As things have always been. Like magazine editors or tv producers. Everyone having a platform is a mixed bag

FANG (or FAANG) isn't a ticker symbol though, just industry jargon.

Just wondering: Is it the swears? Is it the tone of voice of the hypothetical opponent? Where's the problem in your mind? If "reasonable points" aren't furthering discussion, what are we even doing here?

There's still no difference between "publisher" and "platform". I see Twitter as a giant expansion of the Op-Ed section of the newspaper, not a telephone party line. To whom is Twitter responsible? If shareholders&#

No they're not. I'm pretty sure, based on comments below, that they're legally allowed to not allow their platform to be used to process payments for thing they don't want . The same way a business can state "Cash

School choice: spend money upgrading a system that seems to be "fine", spend time and money training personnel on how to use the new system, and cut classes of your choice angering parents. Or, just keep doing what they've

This article is a very brief commentary on the documentary. Presumably the show would explain that point of view and dig deeper into the whole matter.

Enough is enough! I've had it with these motherfucking off-topic comments in this motherfucking place of high discourse!

I would imagine they ask if anyone is willing to trade seats or move them to an unoccupied seat.

eh? This isn't a new thing. There have always been people who prefer the company of animals to people, even centuries ago when people were more "connected to each other". If it's more frequently seen now, you can just as

IF ONLY! I assure you that there are plenty of people posing the same click-bait, politically inflammatory comments on LinkedIn that you would expect on Facebook.

Of course you can, as long as your comfortable with those things affecting your ability to find or keep a job. Proving that you were fired because you support political ideal of your choosing and not "poor performance" is going

But they're doing this with their own branded replacements. If I put an actual apple battery into my iPhone but don't do it through apple's store, this behavior is what happens. This is akin to my check engine light always be

You don't have to work in the mine. Metaphor still works.

Care to set the record straight? What's actually going on if not what they're presenting? They're making an assumption about intent. Unless you can prove you're part of the Apple team responsible for this hardware behavi

But it does this even with their own batteries. You can have a legit iPhone and a legit iPhone battery installed and it will have this issue occur. This is not "taking ownership" in the way you intended, but it is demonstrating ow

Closer! Let's say you give me a coupon that I'm able to redeem from you later for 20 dollars. Do you owe me $20? This is the closest to what SBC is. If the options are exercised, you're liable for that expense. It's a de

Let's say you give me 20 bucks, and I drop it. But only one time. Does that mean I didn't lose your $20?

The two examples you gave don't prove your point. If you want to play those games at a high level, you need a good account with access to the good game pieces. Technically, you can acquire those pieces entirely for free by investing lo

I'm just going to keep spamming this: Can someone name a "Pay-to-win" game for me? A game where money, and not skill, is what wins you the game? I think the greater point I'm going for here is that if magic isn't pa
