On the one hand, money today is better than the possibility of more money tomorrow. On the other hand, have you tried getting a business loan from a bank?

That's... that's not really true. For one, we've already seen how these "smart contracts" can be hacked. I can almost guarantee that they will put something in them that will allow them to take the stuff back. And t

When I make mistakes in software, I don't get rewarded for it. And it sure as hell doesn't mean a lot of people lose their jobs.

The availability of tooling is just fine. You may need to compile from source, but that shouldn't be a big deal. Otherwise there's also MacPorts, Homebrew, and fink for pre-built packages. The UI thing is entirely subjective.

I'm not sure, but wouldn't saying no also mean forfeiting any unemployment you might otherwise be entitled to?

Cause then you don't get your severance. And few people are prepared to lose their job out of the blue like that.

"Thus we get to enjoy the bad things of capitalism without any of the protection it offers." As it is, I think you do have all the protection capitalism offers.

Far more went into producing that logo than just using the rectangle tool in Photoshop.

You know, the thing that really gets me about these things is this: Most of the people getting laid off did nothing wrong; all most of them are guilty of is choosing the wrong company to work for. Meanwhile, the executives and managers are

I am sorry. But I do also feel that refusing to believe that not everyone has that level of bargaining power is also quite uncivil.

"People need something to do where they can be of service to others. Not paying off and left to rot." No, they need fulfillment in their life. Do you think flipping burgers at McDonald's provides that? UBI allows people to no

I think there are plenty of people who would be happy having a minimalist life, and there are those who would choose to see the world. And I believe that there are those who are drawn to doing things; working on stuff that they're inte

Congratulations, you've just invented the IRA.

The "smart contract" is still reacting to things in the real world. It's not going to magically cause the stock market to not fail. And, as we've seen, they are vulnerable to hacking.

Odd, I would have flipped that statement.

Plenty of things that people think are "common sense" are far from it. If you want to make a assertion such that you have, you'll have to have evidence.

Google's intention is to improve Android, because that's how they make their money: People using Android, and sending their data to Google so Google can sell ads. Google doesn't make their money selling consumer hardware; tha

I fail to see where they said "below average developers". Unless you think the average is "superstar".

The rest of your point aside, no matter what you're doing, "Works well with others" should always be high on the list. No one wants to work with an asshole.

Best? The Pixel is good, but it's hardly the best thing HTC has done. HTC still has the Vive team.

It means that Google can use it at all. Otherwise they would be unable to use it. Which is what they're concerned about. Previously, with other companies actually making the phones, they didn't have to worry about that kind of thi

Isn't that any acqui-hire? The people who do the work are traded like cattle and usually don't get anything out of it. Worse, sometimes they did have equity in the company, but that's now traded for equity in the new company,

Just shy of $38 billion in one quarter revenue is "Buttloads of money". I wasn't necessarily relating it to the share price.

Most of us are arguing that it should be the city's responsibility to take care of the sidewalks, but beyond that, I don't see it any different than maintaining any other part of your house.

Given the things that people complain about under the guise of complaining about "PC Culture", yes, to them it probably is.

And maybe people like you can accept that there are more people than yourselves in the world, and those people have a right to be in society too. And no, it is entirely realistic to have 100% access in a city. There is zero reason whatsoeve

Well, bad is a relative term, and that's part of the problem. A number of "activist investors" consider it bad if they're not getting huge dividends and growth from every company, pressing short term gains instead of lon
