What in particular about the tech workers justifies making policies so that they can muscle out people who are already there?

"The solution is for local families to be muscled out." No, it absolutely is not.

"With rent control, people who might otherwise move, don't." I'm failing to see the problem. Unless those people would have moved for reasons other than soaring rent, them getting to keep their homes is a GOOD THING.

So what's the solution for addressing this problem, AND not having local families from being muscled out by tech employees? Because whatever is proposed, if it means that local families have to leave because the rent was increased astr

What do you mean "squatters"? Presumably these are people who have been living there for a while, and are paying rent.

Except it absolutely is true. The incumbent ISPs were granted hundreds of billions of dollars to wire the country with fiber. They took the money, and did jack shit with it. http://newnetworks.com/ShortSCANDALSummary.htm

"Xcode is still limited to macOS." Yes, their IDE was made for their platform. I'm not seeing why this is a problem.

There have been other shops that fill those games. Buddybuild was one of them.

It might be, but Apple, Google, FB, MSFT, etc, still have the ability to roll one of those giant mining dump trucks full of money up to the founder's doors, so you're always going to have the possibility that they just get bought

"HN of all places should be sympathetic to what happened to Equifax" Why should I be sympathetic to them, especially after how they handled it? And especially given that they make loads of money off MY DATA, and want to turn aroun

I mean, you could do that. Or you could awaken yourself to reality, where that does not happen. And the politicians here are looking at a potential solution to not having so many drunks on the road, where they can potentially kill someone.

"As far as the business is concerned - not really." Right, but we're not just talking about a business. We're also talking about a marriage. Which would probably say that the business perspective is even less relevant.

"From the business perspective (which means completely disregard any personal perspectives/issues that arise" No. Those other perspectives are just as valid, if not more. "So for the business, agreement is necessary to p

Could you provide some of those situations? Was that the only thing that sunk it, or were those companies in trouble already?

I'm sorry, but this line of thinking is abso-fucking-lutely bonkers. If he, or any of you honestly feel that someone would do that, then why are you marrying them? Her not signing is in no way, shape, or form sabotaging the business ve

No, it really isn't. Because if she signed, then he's basically free to cheat on her at will, and there really isn't anything she can do about it. If she were to divorce, she would be out in the cold. Why, apparently, is it a

I thought they were talking from a consumer point of view, not a developer one. I also don't believe you need to actually create multiple versions, rather maintain some feature flags.

While I don't disagree with you, I'm not sure what the problem with "I have to constantly settle for IAPs to disable ads" is? It's basically a form of shareware at that point?

by s73ver_ 9y ago
No. Again, you are completely mischaracterizing what they do. It is clear you are not interested in a good faith discussion on the topic, and would rather just rant about government. Feel free, but I won't partake.

Or have the time to cook. Which is a very important criteria, as someone who works two jobs likely does not have the luxury of that amount of time.

"I know people who earn seven figures who don't, and honestly can't, do this." Don't want to? Sure. Can't? Wrong. They absolutely could.

"all of these prosecutors object to private companies doing what they do in the name of the State every single day (extort people)." That's not even close to a valid description of what they do.

"network with people who will pay you to freelance." That.
177.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
Not really. Getting a traditional job is a lot easier, because there are job boards and such. However, those are notoriously horrible for freelancing. Saying, "Just go network" glosses over a whole lot of exactly how to do that. I

For that to happen, they would have to increase the number of teams. This requires new stadiums/arenas to be built, and expansion teams to be created. This requires rebalancing of conferences and divisions within the league.

I always hate that answer, because it doesn't actually answer the "how".

I'm not saying you should buy it if you don't like it. I am saying that you are not entitled to just take it if you don't. You go buy something else that is provided as you want.
