So from my experience most of the people using it won't think there was a "good capitalism time". I think the prevalence of that term is used to evoke the idea that continuing for too much longer on the current path is imposs

I just got laid off but working there can be really good. My manager and team were great engineers but also just truly nice and caring people and the pay and benefits were great. On the other hand I found the work to mostly be tedious (for

So I agree the pay is good but for me (and most of my friends it really wore me down over time) that place really wore me down over time. I was already planning on leaving but I was shocked at how happy I was to be laid off from there, peop

The opinion that HN has particularly high quality comments is always surprising to me. Outside of the times where the person commenting is the actual creator of whatever the post is about I've found comments here to be a dumpster fire

That isn't an accurate characterization of these layoffs. They also laid people off in ads and just across all the orgs in general apparently. I'm hearing this from one of my friends in ads who got laid off.

The craziest thing to me is that the employees at these companies are some of the most sought after people yet when push comes to shove they seem to have all just rolled over and not raised a fuss with layoffs. These companies are some of t

They are making over a billion a week in profits (and still growing). Layoffs can be justified but it's a bit of a head scratcher to be doing them when the company seems to be doing generally well

I'm hearing they laid off thousands today actually but it could be my friend has the number wrong.

In addition to what other people said that obviously it won't work like this I just want to say that purposefully crashing I would guess would be multiple different felonies so social media companies would take it down and only true id

The value of a dollar is arbitrary so having it slightly change over time works just fine, I don't really understand what you think would be the issue there. Also, to be clear, the inflation target is not 2% because the Fed just like p

Nothing is stopping people from saving (I mean, except for low real wages), even with inflation, it's incredibly easy nowadays to put money into investments. Also I don't understand how deflation would eliminate the boom/busy

by tdb7893 3y ago
I think you're too focused on dollar amounts because the value of a dollar is in some ways arbitrary (hence why they can have an inflation target and have that make sense). You can have things practically get cheaper even with inflatio

They've been aware for a long time now and are content to exploit the situation and now definitely share culpability. There's more than enough blame to pass some of it around. The fact that they pay people wages where they work an

It'll be a cold day in hell before a CEO gets charged for any crimes that they oversee (at least without seriously defrauding another corporation or rich person). Not a single Sackler is in jail for causing the opioid crisis.

It depends what you mean by child labor. My experience is that the children help on the farm but for the most part do school full time until at least their latter teenage years. It's pretty different than the child labor in the article

Generally pictures on the internet are free to view but are restricted in their use (e.g. I can't take my aunt's wedding pictures and put them on billboards without asking her just because she posted them on Facebook). I'm no

This is weird to be because I would share in most cases. I'm for pretty massive reforms in policing in the US but there are also burglaries, missing persons, and other investigations where I would definitely help when I could.

My experience is that HN often aligns with more Libertarian ideologies in the comment section.

Is there anything specific you are worried about? With arguments context matters a lot and hearing similar arguments in two different places isn't really surprising.

At first I was thinking that intelligence operations probably have better ways to gather and exfiltrate date but I guess now that their allies have abandoned them they might not actually have better ways to get or share info. This is one of

So this is part of it but I've also met people who agree with me but are still resistant to action. The most obvious time for this is protests, I've met so many people who agree with what the protestors are protesting for but don&

As I've gotten older I've realized that "moderates" who generally agree with you but advocate for less action (and often inaction) are generally the biggest stumbling block to getting things done. MLK's letter from

Hong Kong's demands really aren't that crazy, what you say China is worried about is somewhat valid but also out of scope of the actual demands they have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Hong_Kong_protests#

Yeah, I was trying to figure out a polite way to point out the discrepancy. Notably I don't think the NFL actually banned him over it, I think he just ended up not being rehired by any teams. I think the NFL actually settled a lawsuit

Due process should be accessible to everyone but until that's actually the case it's still a privilege of the people who have it. The fact that other people should have it doesn't mean it's not a privilege to the peopl

I think that this distinction isn't widely understood as the definition of privilege. If you look it up in a dictionary privileges you'll see a lot of definitions where privileges are defined as a special case of rights so they ar

We never will all agree on what is intolerable and that's overall healthy for society, it's how we allow ourselves to grow. I don't want to argue for what is tolerable or not, just that for me I'm comfortable not tolerat
