This as a whole just doesn't look good for Google/Alphabet, but then again the optics of a lot of their choices lately have looked very poor from the outside looking in. Honest question for long term(4+ years) Google Engineers rea

As they should be! If someone pays their debt to society all their rights should be restored. (Gun rights being the acception, in certain cases, IMHO).

Yes, people always miss this, insurance companies do charge a lot, but their margins aren't high. They too are giving a lot of their income to attorneys, lobbyists, etc. When I see people simply blaming insurance it shows me they don&#

But profits! Unfortunately, great American capitalism will prevail, those making the money will keep buying legislation in their favor and selling fear of change via advertising.

Amen to this! Imagine if all the bright minds in SV, were looking to improve the world instead of enrich themselves and their overlords by any means necessary. However I don't think we should limit the number of anything, if are qualif

Do you have a source for this? your past comments are very pro Chinese and also reference "other news" without citation. Trying hard to prop up the motherland in the public eye?

It's actually a lot easier than you'd think. You can move to another state and many problems go away. I've had a number of friends do this to allow the statuate of limitations expire for certain things. For instance if you ha

Yea, see I wouldn't include strip clubs, lingerie, etc. as porn, personally. But if you add that back in, plus prostitution and all sex work, $97b is attainable. I guess my view is slightly less encompassing then others'.

why would not working for someone preclude you from having an opinion about that companies questionable business practices? but hey, it's easier to sleep at night when you just dismiss opposing opinions due to their lack of the exact s

as long as there is a penny to be made, someone will make it. If Uber leaves another will fill the gap. I don't feel that regulation generally stifles business, only margins.

yes this is true, but when you are an employee the goverment gets slightly more money because of things like FICA.

i cant even make the logic jump to compare these too. Uber isn't just a place people post about needing rides and then pick from one of the respondents. hardly comparable.

ok, i can get on board with the esports part. Porn, you can call it anecdotal, but over a decade in that industry taught me, its certainly addictive for some, and is are some very manipulative marketing going on by the smarter companies. Bu

Yet sex/porn and esports are both addicting. How does that math add up? Games maybe not so much by nature, but the publishers are trying everything they can to increase your time in game.

the numbers tossed around in these articles always amuse me. I have worked extensively in the adult industry and can guarantee its no where near $97B. Print is dead, the internet and PPV in hotels and satellites bring in the bacon and it&#x

pretty cool how we downvote opposing opinions. i guess ya'll like echo chambers ehh?

Speak for yourself, I love my touchbar, add was hoping they'd keep it. Rather then getting hung up on hating, learn to like it. Pretty useful if you give it a chance.

you might be surprised to find out their advisors are telling them to do this wacky stuff, to get press. (source: old friend works in Hollywood PR, its insane!)

Yes, being a getaway driver is a much lower offense then a entering a domicile with a gun and robing people. You can't compare the two at all.

Regardless, the fact that someone at Github can approve such a large payment so quickly, is still impressive.

They'll even repair gear made by others. Which is putting your money where your mouth is, if you ask me. They'd rather keep your gear, made by someone else, going than sell you new stuff.

FWIW, MSR and Osprey are tiptop as well, both have replaced products for me even though I was just looking for parts to fix it myself (MSR), or giving feedback on how a pack wore after 6 years of heavy use (osprey). Maybe they just like to
