   Is it Paul Graham's job to fix those problems that cause inequality? I don't think it is. I do think that it's great that people like Bill Gates invest their billions into improving the healthcare system globally, and the Zuc

   Hoover et al can build their product however they want, just be honest and consistent. Looking through old threads I found this cracker of a post in reply to Ryan about their "anti voter ring policy" - which his tweet seems to cou

    You start by doing it yourself. This is super important. Doing support brings you closer to your customers to understand their pain points so you can build a better product. Technical question that they don't get? Either make it more e

    You can probably use fake ID + fake plates & a fraudulent credit card... However in this situation in France the terrorists - who were on watch lists - did none of these things. Not saying that data would have helped identify that an op

    I think the suggestion they're making is that if intelligence agencies instead tracked data like who is renting cars/ hotels etc they would be able to better track potential extremists activities. Tracking license plates + who is

    If only it were that simple. They were processing thousands of dollars of payments for projects that people had started - who would administer that side of things?

    Also because, they say, there are costs to the prison in having phones including monitoring to make sure prisoners aren't breaking any laws. I think these costs should be a cost of doing business as a prison, whereas they consider it s

    I've also seen where people come into a role being promised autonomy and once they start finding that they're stuck into a pre-existing strategy or hierarchy that doesn't want to change.

    Another reply to my comment has disputed the claim but on a different reason. Sweden is saying they're happy to do the interview now - they weren't previously - in the UK now but can't get permission from Ecuador.

    I read in an article posted here yesterday that the reason for the stalemate is that Ecuador is demanding Sweden make statements to the effect that Assange is in a legal asylum at the embassy. Sweden don't want to get involved in that
