That is really scary. They probably have insiders in their payroll in every major tech company.

Money wins. The admirals probably couldn’t resist the million dollar paychecks. I bet they would happily divulge all they know - mo matter how top secret-for the right price.

Wow, this is a brazen price collusion. No doubt about it. Using private data to fix prices and asking landlords to keep units vacant rather than decrease rents.

Do you know how much it costs to hire a single developer? You need a team of recruiters and waste countless employee-hours on interviews. Retention is a big deal. You can probably provide a real monetary value to retention.

Organic chem 1 and 2 are prerequisites for medical schools. A lot of colleges actually make the courses as hard as possible to make sure that the med school acceptance rate for their graduates is very high.

I know everone hates ads, but isn’t targeted ads better than wholesale bombardment? Did Apple’s blocking of facebook’s targeted ads improve the consumer experience? Or did that just make advertising more inefficient which then led to just m

Even if the IRS goes after average Americans, what’s wrong with that? I am assuming most Americans pay taxes properly. Those who don’t should be discouraged.

People should be free to speak their mind. Bigots, supremacists, terrorists, racists people should be able to speak freely. It’s not as if these people don’t exist. Keeping their anger pent up is bad, and can lead to insurrection. I know fo

I agree. Everyone around them should encourage extremely obese people to get immediate treatment. It’s a deadly disease.

What a low effort rebuttal. Why are you comparing gig work to indentured servitude? Is Uber forcing people to drive cars? If your argument is people don’t have any other options, is that really uber’s fault or is that fault of the society?

Just look at auto insurance industry. A significant portion of your premiums is actually spent on advertising. It doesn’t seem like the stupid gecko commercials will ever die. Great podcast on planet money - https://www.npr.org&#

I don’t think it’s that simple. Very high monthly mortgage payments will massively reduce demand for new housing. Will bring all new construction to a complete stop. And then layoffs in the construction industry. But the worse thing is it w

Don’t know if people are following news carefully, but things are getting worse all over the world at the same time. One third of Pakistan is under water while China is seeing unprecedented drought.

I know I’ll get downvoted by bitcoin shills like you, but if you had bought bitcoin in Dec 2017, you would have lost money even after holding for 5 years.

Just look at majority of the comments in reddit where people don’t try to be so politically correct. All of them are about his looks.Even his avatar can’t catch a break.

There seems to be a big cost with being unattractive. Poor Zuck. Elon musk can get away with murder (by falsely claiming full self driving) and nobody will bat an eye. Sergey Brin and Larry Page have even managed to get out of the limelight

Both researches show benefits but the nber one somehow twists it into a different narrative. I understand why hackernews users hate uber, but shouldn’t professional economists try to be unbiased?

Is there a research on how many DUI deaths and accidents Uber has prevented? How about people who didn’t buy cars because Ubering is much easier?

Why vice is highlighting Facebook is beyond me. If a judge gives you a warrant, aren’t you forced to provide the data? Otherwise, don’t you face contempt of court charges and possibly get jailed?

I thought it was a April 1 joke. Are they planning to freeze the food first before shipping through Fedex?
