> Obama is personally tolerant of it. While I understand the spirit of this argument it is not entirely true. Obama has legal levers to pull but not without serious consequences to himself. For example Trump is very vocal about hurting a

When you are depressed seek HELP. Help from people qualified to provide it first. None of the internet advice, friends, family etc. are alternative to this HELP.

I worked for outsourcing company in India, large hardcore Big-3 tech company in Silicon Valley and a Startup. I can give you a perspective on this. H1B visas are used by two category of companies. 1. Google like company who needs expertise

Classic case of no-skin-in-the-game politicians making rules about other people with dubious objectives to be achieved using naive policies.

It might be sexist and racist to imply that there are not sufficient number of blacks, Latinos and women who might cross Facebook's bar compared to their proportion of the US population. You must adjust your eyes to see the possibiliti

Bankers are like aspect oriented programming. They cut through a lot of layers. You touch a banker you are touching many people across the spectrum. Sending an automobile scapegoat ceo to jail does not affect that many people.

Laws created by people who have 0 skin in the game. Completely arbitrary and nonsensical.

I think besides the logo the characters that run are related to Netflix show. It struck me only after I read your comment. Marco Polo - from Marco Polo series The female - from Organge is new Apple Pablo - from some drug related tv series.

ALL tax money is your money. We cant avoid taxes but that does not change the fact government's right to take our money away from us to do something as personal as retirement planning does not make sense and is morally extremely wron

Social Security is a theft of my money by government. The smugness of government to decide what to invest for MY retirement itself is an insult to me. I can do zilch. Voting against SS would mean labeling yourself some kind of moron who is

US Tax policies are predatory and criminal in nature. The way IRS treats citizens goes well beyond libertarian meme of "Taxation is theft", it is more like "IRS is a mafia, more ruthless than ever". I guess at the heart

Totally agree. War on Drugs is a failure and Ivory trade ban would be another failure. Government wants to ban something which people want and some people willing to supply. Unless someone has strong private property right over elephants I

Not sure why you are being downvoted. I think people on HN perceive hunting or ivory trading as something bad such as human trafficking. It isn't. My great-grandfather was an Ivory trader and traded ivory and employed artists who would

Except that in China government can throw people off the cliff on a whim and it wouldn't matter. The only way to operate a black market in China would be to have a politician as a partner.

It is hard to sue government. It is even harder to make them lose their jobs. When it comes to compensation they will simply use our own money to pay back. Utilities remains a major pain in USA partly because of the ridiculous government co

As a rule of thumb I would not recommend anyone working that long without sleep. A truck driver with lack of sleep can kill more people than a driver. Even a coder returning home driving might kill someone if he has not slept in 30 hours st
