It seems like you're wrong. There are a thousand better ways that could have been phrased, which would have had the meaning you ascribed to it, without the poster being an asshole.

I won't disagree with you on that. Minimum wage should be enough to live on. But paying minimum wage is basically saying, "If I could pay you less, I would." That's about as greedy as it gets regarding employers.

"It's not lowballing and undercutting employees to pay $41.6k to lower level people for 40 hours of work" Depending on the job, it can be. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about doing that

"A side note is I find it a little odd that bitcoin often gets "hate" from inside some tech circles." It's not the tech itself that gets the hate; it's the community around it that gets the hate. The ones who h

"They should just say, "hey, if you work, you can invest it tax-deductible and tax-deferred"." That's called an IRA.

To be honest, if they can afford to work without being paid, they're probably fairly well off already.

Well, you could take the VC money you'd spend on Silicon Valley rent and salaries, and use that to bring fiber to that area.

The problem with software companies is rarely rent. It's attracting talent. You'd have to offer something pretty special as a software company to get people to move to the middle of nowhere like that, especially if such a place ha

I'm sorry, but I am sick and tired of "unprofessional" just thrown around like this. The person is a god damned human being, not a robot. They had just gone through an extremely frustrating experience with an unsatisfying con

Why? These features don't change the individual experience at all. You're not forced to use them.

If they're still making breaking changes like this, then why have they declared version 1? They should still be on version 0.x

It's nice that you were able to do that, but I'd say the majority of bullied people either aren't strong enough to do that (physically), or the bullying isn't of a physical nature anyway.

No, you are not. Not in any sense of the word.

"What happens if you don't pay your taxes?" What happens if you go up and steal someone's car? The same thing that happens if you break any other law. "What if you resist arrest?" The same thing that happens if

"Yes, we should. The average college freshman is 18 years old." And how many finance courses would they have taken during high school?

You completely missed the point. Further, this "holding a gun to your head" thing is completely asinine.
