Yeah - keep on reading Vox and feel enlightened. You literally are the reason why poor publications like Vox get a free pass. Here, if you don't believe me, read this thread and check yourself ( https://twitter.com/balaj

No one is dying here. It is a general observation about what is going on with HN users. And if you can't see the overtly anti-corporation nature of the users here, I can't say much.

You can stop doing it and still be vocal about it.

Stop ordering from Amazon if you really feel so strongly about this. No point making all this grand-stands while on the other hand, you will just goto Amazon for your needs. That is the real way to hurt them.

Stop quoting Vox as if they are a reliable news source. They are the ones who mocked tech workers initially for taking COVID seriously: https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/2/13/21128209/coronavirus-fe...

Read my comment. Don't be ignorant. I literally said that for high risk positions, give them more pension.

Oh please. Once you have very high volume and strong market share you can gradually increase prices to improve profitability.

What risk is an accountant sitting in SF City Hall taking? High risk positions - sure give them more security. Otherwise, treat them like everyone else. Also, people goto govt jobs because of job security as well - which is also a factor in

Bunch of random engineers in this thread talking about business when they have no clue how companies are run. Yes- Uber was making loss before. But their ridership was growing and they were giving incentives on the supply side (drivers) to

Look at the unemployment rate. What else validation do you need? You can't just ask people to stay locked in their homes and assume everything would be ok.

lets pick one negative example and generalize that. this is because apple has never really shipped good products.

It is fine. You need to educate yourself more on how companies like Factual get their hands on location data. If you think Facebook flouted privacy rules, you haven't seen anything yet.

by product50 7y ago
This is never a good argument. We can't let these smaller companies completely flout all privacy/tracking rules just so that they can sustain. The model is broken to start with.

Apple needs to deprecate IDFAs and the business models of all these location tracking apps will come crumbling down. If you can't identify users, then the point is moot.

DO you realize that these are car manufacturing companies trying to figure out how they can build ventilators. To build based on existing know-how will likely be incredibly expensive and prohibitive. As such, it is reasonably to expect them

by product50 7y ago
Yes - of course. Tesla and GM shouldn't even try to help out because obviously they will build the wrong thing. What BS. Take your cynicism elsewhere. You literally are the living embodiment of my point above.

I knew someone at Hacker News will make a comment like this. Hacker News is cynicism at its finest. "I can't imagine any hospital or doctor careless enough to connect one of these to a patient, even in this current emergency.&quot

Just stop with this billionaires argument please and framing it as workers vs. billionaires. I am more talking about families who will have to pay more now to address some of the Union's demands.

The Audi MMI system consisting of a central dial is still the most intuitive and least distracting of all car systems I have seen in the market. And, as a bonus, it also works really well with Android Auto and CarPlay - without touchscreen.

Talk about yourself vs. generalizing it for everyone

I hope you realize that this is a sided marketplace. One side having demands means the other side has to pay for it. Now imagine all those families who are at home with many of them jobless - and them paying all these additional costs. Have

Do you know these are the real reasons or are you just rehashing what you have read? This feels more like confirmation bias. Can't imagine the rest of first world countries are completely shut down and here Japan is just doing fine wit

Not true. Go deeper. There was ~10% false negatives in South Korea too. But it is still much better than nothing. But of course no on here will say anything about it since everything America does is likely bad and foreign countries are alwa

These types of studies look so biased as they will only get covered in news channel if the results are anti-tech. There is no mention of how much distraction would "changing a radio station" or "adjusting car heating" wi

Some smart ass always has to comment how this is not perfect and thus not useful. Look at the alternatives. Should we just keep on waiting otherwise?

Where is the comment here on billionaire taxes? Literally Amazon is the only company because of which I feel comfortable right now sitting in my house vs. panic buying.

Whether you like it or not, the fact here is that it isn't clear whether Google resisting or AGs demanding docs is the right thing here or not. So stop being so melodramatic about it and using such strong words.
