> been one of the most open minded places in the country Not at all. I've lived in several states and I think you're conflating the "liberalness" with open mindedness. If anything, the Bay Area is one of the most clo

Do you believe the government is overstepping its authority by stopping people from entering the country without permission? I’m curious if you support an open border and how you want to deal with the ramificiations?

No, it's $210k cash. Additional RSUs and bonuses up to $70+ depending on company and individual performance. No hype. I work harder than anyone else and complete projects at least twice as fast. I constantly push for promotion and rais

Those are some extremely skewed numbers. I live in a $1.7k one bedroom. Rent is like 10% of my pay and I'm just 2 years out of college. No student debt because my family is poor. San Francisco is an amazing place for technies if you&#x

>How can you tell facebook to not track you without a facebook account? That's the wrong question to ask. You shouldn't have to tell it not to track you. That shouldn't be able to do it, unless you explicitly tell them &qu

You mean tax avoidance - structuring your finances to pay less taxes. Tax evasion is illegal under-reporting of your income, which I highly doubt Ikea does

Unfortunately, it's because highly skilled people are "boring" (definitely don't mean it as an offense) and don't elicit sympathy. They usually do well for themselves so people don't feel sorry enough to help t

Yes it's great from a marketer's point of view. From a consumer's point of view, I don't want you to know where I came from. I don't really care if it's useful to you. It's the difference between pleasing

This is ridiculous. They're claiming that merely associating himself with the government is a tacit support of Trump's attack on science. Bill is there to promote NASA's space exploration initiative. If you withdraw from part

Don't forget systematically imprisoning its black population. 1/3 of male African American are locked up in U.S. prisons. Think about that. One third.

You seem to have a very distorted view of the world that's almost identical to what the media feeds you. Have you ever visited China and experienced it yourself, or do most of the things you say come from what organizations tell you? N

As capitalism matures, it's clear to anyone with a thread of financial literacy that most wealth is created through capital gains rather than salary. We're approaching a state (at least in developed countries) where productivity

Everything in modern society is "surveillanced". The highways you drive on (highway cameras), the news sites you read (ad tracking), the dollars you make (IRS). Someone somewhere knows these things. Specifically pointing out somet

It's strange that news organizations take such a cynical tone with new technology. Really? "Surveillance-powered convenience store"? Are we suppose to call TechCrunch a "surveillance-powered ad powerhouse"? Or Tesla

Why do you think it's wasted? Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted. Most people use it to message their friends, and communication with people you like is one of the key joys of living I mean, how much time do you "waste" on

The law doesn't care how stupid your plan was. You could plan a theft in the middle of the day stealing $5 and still be a crime Insider trading is trading with the knowledge of privileged information not available to public investors.

> those people usually and rightfully go to jail Exactly my point. They got punished for it, but their children lived to enjoy the fruits of their labor, without any blame or punishment.

I didn't say it's ok, that was exactly the opposite of my point. I'm saying they did something NOT OK, and their children get to enjoy all the fruits of their immorality without any of the blames.

Exactly this. People sit comfortably in their morals while enjoy the huge benefits brought about by Uber. Things are comfortable because people like Travis were willing to take the blame on the wrong side of history and forge ahead anyways.
