Seriously. How many times now has the leadership of Wells Fargo been brought in to get a tongue lashing by Congress? And how many times now have they continued to appear repentant and then go right back to being evil?

If you want to fight that fight with design, go right ahead. The rest of us have work to do.

I do think they get a disproportionate share of the reward. And you can't argue that it's because the network contributes more; it's purely because the network has access to venture capital. Saying capital is relatively scarc

Except they are arguing that the network is the thing to care about, rather than the people doing the work.

Most of the employees at those places didn't get rich either.

Because he was a big name in stand-up comedy at the time. He had connections, and people listened to him. If he really wanted to, he could have blackballed the women who rebuffed him.

The snide remark was in the comment they were replying to. "you don't see this dynamic on the conservative side of things with anywhere near the same zealotry as the left." That is complete and utter horseshit. Remember the p

"Hacker news has a rather mature crowd when it comes to issues like this." You and I have been visiting very different Hacker Newses, then.

Except there is a huge difference between someone just saying mean things about people who look like you, and also being able to actually have an affect on your life. Sarah Jeong can't do anything to white people. Donald Trump has quit

Because someone saying mean words about someone who looks like you is far different if they have the power to do bad things.

We're talking about a company issuing a press release about ongoing litigation. I really think you're going far too far with this.

And that and $2.95 will get you a cup of coffee.

"The network is the only thing making them useful to consumers." No, this statement is entirely and purely false. The reason the network has value is because there are people on the network doing the work. If no one was doing the

Cool. That doesn't change things one bit; he still tried to have someone killed because he thought they were a threat to his empire. He is no freedom fighter, he is no crusader, he is a common drug dealer.

"And we need to keep very hard working people motivated to keep working very hard by ensuring them that they will always keep the lions share of their labour's products." Tell that to a single mom who works 2 jobs.

Except that network is only valuable because it has people in it to do the labor.

"You can't help how you feel. If you fall in love with someone at work or in academia or in some other type of "position of authority," do we now need contracts to ensure the relationship is wanted by both parties?"

"these narratives rely on the evisceration of science, logic, reason and well established definitions of words" They absolutely do not. If you honestly believe that what Sarah Jeong tweeted was racism, then you have an incredibly

I flat out do not by that "can only harm oneself" argument. The effects of addiction on those close to the addict are quite well documented.

No it doesn't. Running a drug trafficking site is not a "political belief". Had he been campaigning for the legalization of drugs, and was arrested doing that, you'd have a point.

Unfortunately TERFs are real. And I guess on some level, its comforting to know that there are shitty people to be found in all walks of life.

There is a pretty big contingent of people out there who fully believe the "men can't be raped" type stuff.

I would not skip that stuff, because that inevitably comes into it.

Yes, how dare they want to run the applications they have chosen to use.

"There is basically one straight-forward case where the IRS preparing taxes makes sense: that of full time employees whose only income is from their job which issues W2s." And as it turns out, this is the vast majority of cases. J
