Trying to understand revenue of a business (i.e. what this guy is doing) is a cornerstone of HN. I'm surprised by the blowback your're getting. Maybe it's your tone. Maybe start with: "I've always wondered how the e

To "steal" has many definitions. When it comes to data that can be copied, there is another. This action may well deprive the owner of said information of income/deals in the future. But I completely follow your argument re:

Twitter allows for this just as many blogs (like books) don't have comment sections but have the author accessible via email or not at all. This doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to publish. Where it's written, if i

It seems right now we're at 10-15% positivity on PCR. And I think that probably maps onto society... So there's a vague guess how many will test positive with PCR. Unfortunately a PCR result at a 35 cycle threshold (which the vast

A company is not a government... Yes, someone who owns a company has the legal right to do whatever they want, as long as it's not criminal, with their property. They have complete authority... They don't have to have someone else

"Do my bidding" is different from "do my bidding being paid way below market rate" or "do my bidding and I don't care if that involves a high likelihood of losing a limb". Also, "do my bidding" s

That's not what I asked. If you can't argue the counter of your own position in the most honest way possible then either you're not prepared or not honest. It's called steel manning.

Really depends on your definition of right. Do you mean legally? Morally? Logically? When it comes to who has the ability to steer subordinates, managers are always right. Except if their managers disagree...

That's not a strong argument. Can you come up with anything better?

What is the strongest argument that you can come up with? Not that's been presented.

A boss controls the work that you, via a contract, agreed to do. If you want out of the contract the boss cannot make you do the work. You have agency, they cannot threaten you with violence as a dictator could.

The law should remove much of your opinion. What remains is as your say.

No, it means be honest. Don't pretend to know more than you do, be nicer, kinder, funnier, more generous etc. than you are... I thought "be yourself" was a little more universally understood. It's very good advice. Stop

Yes, don't let people step on you from day 1. Boundaries. It's hard, you just want it to be a small infraction and then everything will be fine in the future. That's rare. At least it is in my experience.

If you opinion is about one of the technical meanings of the word publish outside of the reading of the law then your opinion the law. So yes you're right, but it's not relevant to section 230 at all.
