I was referring to the people who said it was a bad move politically. I was like 5 years old then. But it looks like the right thing looking back historically and politically in reality, except that it lead to Reagan winning.

Also don't forget, Carter was brave enough to get the fed to kill the inflation monster by forcing high interest rates which he knew would tank the economy into recession. It was a terrible price to pay on the economy but seems like th

You can even put it on their qualification tests so you have documentation that they heard something was illegal and it doesn't matter. For many things they are effectively immune to prosecution. Add on that most prosecutors don't

This sub-thread is very amusing. All you people saying if it was fraud there would be lawsuits. Guess what, there are tons of lawsuits against these companies and also settlements. And vc doesn't care! Look at the genius. Look at WeWor

This is exactly right. And even in many many cases where they have been shown to know they were actually violating it they have immunity too.

I humbly disagree with some aspects of your comment. I think software engineers are highly paid, almost the lowest paid devs in the country are decently paid. Companies are just looking for a simple filter and a degree is an easy one. With

The article needs to explain why they can't just open the containers. I don't see why these things would provide that much historical information, they just aren't old enough.

This kind of policy can also be a hidden layoff forcer. You never know what they actually want. They make ambiguous statements about vague gains, culture, etc. It's never concrete. It's just what they want.

There's no reason that Apple people can't move to Android, it's stubborn resistance. Just like Android people don't want to move to Apple for "reasons". But they love what they have. I use android but I want to

That's not true. There are plenty of other stores on Android.

Yeah if apple was all about open they would publish specs so people working on build up the m1 Linus wouldn't have to reverse engineer so much. I guess what they do is let you boit other os'.

I'm sorry, Dave (or was it Ben), I can't open the pod door. I'm sure people will put things under control of these new systems. Please don't, because they aren't reliable or predictable. How soon till we pass a law

I don't think that's right, apple moving some iPhone and other production to India is a big deal. But it's not going to be easy because of all the production lines and parts that are made by other companies in China and the b

My chromeos framework laptop also seems to lose little power when sleeping, but I haven't done a long study. I just upgraded the ram to 64gb, so happy I bought this one. Next step is switching it to dual booting linux and chromeos.

I hope it was sarcastic. At this point, are there any exchanges that aren't doing untoward things with their customer's assets? We basically have exchanges that failed doing this and other exchanges with ambiguous descriptions of

That's a pretty serious allegation. You think if the SEC comes by to look at their books, they're going to refuse and use guns to stop them? The leader is certainly full of libertarian foolishness in his comments. It's anothe

The definitions you use match the recent failing crypto exchanges behavior. They completely obfuscated what they were doing. They had made loans if hard crypto assets to other companies, other exchanges, and either refused to describe the s

Banks make loans for people to buy houses and they pay interest, or they start a business and the business pays interest on the loan. There's economic activity that generates a return. All the crypto "loans" seem to be loans

I love gmail, use it every day. But the chat in the paid corp version of email is so painful. I hate it with a passion. Gmail also now has the stupid left side bar where it doesn't show the gmail folders unless you click first. I wish

Some companies laying off, the common issue is the appearance of over-hiring like facebook. I know two small companies that are hiring, so what can you conclude? Nothing in general. I think it's mostly just following the herd.

Yes! Brown bags aren't racist, fraternities doing things like that were racist, at least as I see it.

Wow, the 26th largest donor, that sounds like a threat to democracy. Microsoft also gives money to republicans. How about an actual threat, the Koch family (one of the infamous brothers died), who by themselves have a budget about the same

If you don't agree, can you define what "one party" means and "the media"? I think the only way you can say this is to claim that both parties are the same and/or all the media is the same. Contrary to this cla
