If everybody wants to move where the artists are then maybe people should start paying the artists so that they can still afford to live there. I know it's not as easy as that, but there's something odd about the situation you&#x2

Wouldn't it be a good starting point to work towards a better public transportation system in the Bay Area then? I see that you're bringing up NIMBY, but that should be the area to focus on instead of somehow trying to control the

When you do something to gain market share then it's not altruistic.

But would it help anyone if those people go back to work? I'm pretty sure that in the future we need to refrain from the notion that everybody can find work. With increasing automation there just won't be enough jobs to fill.

You don't know that and this is the whole point of the "hole in one" argument.

I don't think that would help much. Let's say you have 7$ minimum wage in one state and 10$ minimum wage in a neighboring state. I would think it's very likely that more low end jobs get created in the 7$ state compared to th

I'd love to have an Aldi in the Silicon Valley, at least if the concept is similar to the ones in Germany.

Yes, but do you really think you would find the people you need that are willing to move to Modesto or Stockton?

And they can do all of that just because everybody still wants to work at Google. Let's say the have 100 applicants for a position, out of which 10 are qualified for it. Then they can still screw 9 of them and hire the one person that

Well, maybe someone who got fired because of poor work ethics and then never got a job again and died in poverty said it before.

I assume by this line he meant the "big company".

Couldn't you just leave off the return address? In this case there's not much metadata to collect except for the recipient address.

Being a server is also very repetitive and doesn't require much skill (sorry if that insults any servers, but I don't see how server is a more skilled job than a cook)

Well, the market and the customers don't seem to agree on all of this: The market share of Windows Phone 8 is extremely small and doesn't seem to pick up. The PC market is shrinking extremely and many analysts now point to Windows

Did you even read the article? It mentions "Zhukov liked it and asked for its color to resemble vodka so that he would not be seen drinking Coca-Cola in public". So I don't understand why you spin this into some distorted vie

In many cases that might be true. But in the case of hair growth? Do you think a Placebo really has an effect on the growth of hair?

I don't think Ruby and Perl are a good comparison to Python 2 and 3. Perl 5 and Perl 6 would be a better comparison.

I think you're missing the point here. The creator of Merida designed here after a real person and didn't follow the standard Disney way of how a princess looks like. Now Disney gives here a makeover and thereby removes some of the attribut

The number of endorsements is really just a matter of the number of connections and a persons activity on Linkedin (e.g. if a person endorses many others, then it's likely they will also be endorsed by them).

I don't know the answer to your question, but isn't Instacart free to resell anything they bought at Costco? So would they even need an agreement from them?

"that is playing God with other's lives on the line." That's the same pseudo-argument that keeps coming up again and again. Whose lives did he play with? Please don't answer with some hypothetical "aiding the enemy" crap. Wasn't it the U.S.

If they keep ~50% of the coupon price wouldn't that just mean $250mm then? Still a big number.

Why would the French minister respond in English to someone who insulted his Country?

by thetrb 14y ago
So just because some crazy US CEO states in a letter that French workers have a "3 hour workday" you suddenly believe that? This guy is crazy and I find it amusing that anybody takes anything he writes seriously.

I got a green card through the diversity visa program. The process itself really wasn't that complicated. Sure, a lot of forms to fill out and the overall process took about 1 year, but I never was at a point where simple internet research

Interesting to see that "Other Europe" is so high with 16.7% of respondents, especially since they have the biggest European countries listed out separately. My guess is that this shows the large number of developers in Eastern Europe.
