I think most people believe its morally repugnant that your value as a human being is related to how much money you have. Because choosing to serve one person over another based on money rather than their medical need is exactly that. Ie: I

This is a non-sequitur, and not related to the original topic which was: Should non-citizens be disallowed from receiving ER care without paying for it themselves? Additionally, we already had that system in place, it was called "lifet

Except that urgent care and walk-in clinics are not required by law to treat everyone regardless of cost. That's the missing equation - that for the uninsured, the only remaining medical option is the ER.

Given the political and national context, I'd say this "old news" is quite up to date, and furthermore something that most people obviously don't believe in.

no, the old behavior was better for you. I hate to point this out, because it seems pedantic and patronizing, but honestly you might need the reminder, that there are other people out there, and no, they aren't all like you.

The app store policies you state are no longer in force, eg: - Chrome, Opera, and Firebox on iOS - Google Maps, Waze on iOS (and others) Restrictions that empower users on iOS ultimately restrict developers. That is an essential power balan

A lot of rhetoric about moving to small towns and the like falls apart when you consider having to get a new job. The number of interesting software companies in Vancouver is tiny. Ok so why not Toronto then? Well my family is west-coast

I do expect California to keep the ACA reforms regardless what happens federally. I don't expect California to regress, and I expect health care in this great state to improve over time. So, it seems like a non problem for now. Besid

The key part being "up to" and "senior team members" All the numbers you quoted are for mid tier in SF. Yes cost of living is higher here, but the salary taps out quite a bit lower. Three of my colleagues own houses in

As a Canadian who lives in SF, your bullet points really need qualifiers. In general I find that Canadians over estimate the danger of living in the US. As for that other stuff, it really depends on where in Canada. Don't tell me that

So, you say "what it did not do was claim his female coworkers are inferior". First off, that's your opinion of the paper, ok? That's not a fact about the document. That's your assessment. You might believe it in s

Thanks for that illumination. That was helpful. I think you should be aware your words imply that you believe Google is doing quota based hiring or different hiring bars based on 'diversity'. You said, exactly quoted: "This

by ryanobjc 9y ago
So, from the context of Google, you are implying that is not what Google does (hires only to the bar). However, that is exactly what Google does. To get hired you have to pass the 5-interview in-person panel. Period. What the original me

A spelling error makes it hard for me to take the proposal seriously. For something as important as this, the details count. A loose approach to spelling is disturbing.

Except you don't really know that. Hindsight 20/20 means that the current place seems inevitable. Here's an alternate future: - People were initially apprehensive of the high price, but a small dedicated fan base bought it u

There are plenty of ambitious Canadians working on moonshots. They live in the Bay Area, LA, NYC and more.

If you are in Vancouver, isn't it though? Cost of home ownership at SF levels. Check. Salary to match? Nope. I used to love Vancouver, I went to school there. I wanted to stay. But I doubt I'd move back except to retire.

This is a very particular version of "enrich" that presumes a certain class or education level. Additionally, it also presumes that this is a trivial problem, based on a very limited example.

The fact is the US polluted the living fuck out of the world to get to it's developed status, and then turns around and says "no you cant do that". So a level playing field already makes no sense. The point of this is to ach

The very first paragraph of the linked article notes exactly this: "No popular idea ever has a single origin. But the idea that the sole purpose of a firm is to make money for its shareholders got going in a major way with an article b

Ditto actually. I mean, ultimately that's what Eve Online is, a massive TW2002 "clone". Only everything made better. I think the problem with an economic system is you need enough people to do it properly, or you have to fig

This reminds me of the soap bar beat-down scene in full metal jacket. In theory it might encourage group-consideration when you're sick though.

I'd love to hear more on this. Also, since no person is an island, any plans to boost pay for supporting staff and engineers? Just so we're clear, top ai pays like $250k USD for entry level with no real cap, but senior staff can e

Unfortunately article like this one have been demonstrated in studies to breed a form of predetermined complacency. We just saw the limits of what a dedicated political party CAN'T do in the US today, so attacking a challenge within 1

HN strives, but fails. The quality of posts has massively declined over the last 5 years or so. One more for the pile. However, another commenter does make the same point but worded better: The person I'm responding to is over-generali

Competition is more than just another store offering the same goods and services at the same prices. I'm flabbergasted at these comments. You are as out of touch as a republican supreme court justice. Willfully out of touch even.

Considering that banks use poor customers as a source of fees to make money, the GP comment is spot on. They've regained control, and honestly your "just check a thing once a month" is hardly the kind of visceral knowledge fr

These arguments are weak, and unconvincing. One particular stood out. That EME would protect user's privacy somehow. But that sandboxing, as his primary illustration of HOW that might occur, is NOT part of the standard. So, the stand
