Why? Because earning and hard work is wrong? These studies also leave out all of the good jobs created by the 1% and the massive amount of taxes going back into the state from these employees. If you counted this, they are responsible for n

Yeah, well....How long before the paid for articles are copied and released for free?

Exactly. Simpilifying the tax code basically jusy means less power over our own money. Once again, we are giving away more of our power for convenience.

It's also pretty apparent, when you look at female dominated industries, that discrimination based on gender is an accepted practice. Even our divorce laws were 100% in women's favor until the 70s or 80s. Alimony was paid out for

I posted the article as an example, but there are many other studies on it coming to the same conclusion.

These studies have been debunked countless times. When all is equal (hours worked, degree, and experience), women get paid pretty much the same amount as men. http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-wage-gap-myth-that-wont-die

“fearful voices talking about building walls”. Funny, coming from a guy that is close with the leaders of China. China has more walls and restrictions than any other country. I might take Mark more seriously if he actually fought for freed

How do you create a 'middle class' when there is no money left in the industry for smaller artists? Pandora pays the superstars well and if you aren't getting millions of plays, you aren't making enough to even provide

"refers to white people’s low emotional tolerance for discussing topics of race and racism" We can't really discuss race. As soon as we do and anything is brought into the discussion that does not conform to the current prog

Ad blockers will eventually do to the content industry what file sharing has done to the music industry: it will make it impossible to make a living at it unless you are part of a very large corporation, mostly because they have other busin

I remember my co-workers at the time thought that it was a brilliant move that Obama opted-out and defeated Mccain because he wasn’t limited by funds. Now that we have Republican candidates using this to their full advantage, it needs to be

sigh do we really need to have this discussion and dou you actually think communism would ever work? The problem is that pesky human nature gets in the way.

Housing is also expensive in SF because of height restrictions on the buildings. It's funny that such a progressive city is always looking for reasons why housing is so expensive, but refuse to believe it's one if their own laws.

As long as you also increase taxes and have penalties in every country. Go to India, Hong Kong, Indonesia, China (The list could go on). The air is polluted with the stench of car exhaust pretty much every where you go. I even went to Lo

I would just find security flaws in their software and use them to appropriate their client base. Most Chinesw clones are thrown together. It's not like they will be able to do much about it. If they do, you can use it as a bargining

It's always interesting to see rich liberal cities like San Francisco because there is really no middle class. You are either making lots of money in IT or some other business or you can't afford your rent and are barely scraping

How is it "user-hostile"? It benefits the product owner and also the user (they will hopefully get a better product experience out of it). I see no problem with it.

The problem I see is that there are more scamming sellers than buyers. Ebay, as a company, would rather concentrate on the sellers because they need the trust of the buyers to survive as a business. It's the same on Amazon: They trea

This is such a simplistic view of UBI. In the short-term, it might work. In the long-term, you will have more people relying on the income and less people paying anything back into the system. We should be enpowering people to get some sor

The spirit of the law is much different than the actual law. What these companies are doing isn't illegal. Closing these loopholes may bring in some more revenue in the short-term, but if it no longer makes sense financially, they wil

So we get to elect someone that disregards the law and centralizes power. This will still be inefficient and cost us many freedoms. In most countries in Europe, for example, it's nearly impossible to start a company without lots of ca

This sounds like a pretty bad deal for the developer: Not only a really small percentage, but worth pretty much nothing when and if it is ever vested. It would be better to just donate to an open source project.

We really need to educate students potentially starting college that they shouldn't major in something that pretty much has no chance of ever paying it back. This applies to most liberal arts programs. A college education is a major i
