    But ~$89,000 isn't six figures, so...? Also, I suppose it depends on the source and relevant area covered by the statistic. I've heard other (lower) figures elsewhere.

    > Vets can easily make 100k+ in rural areas where the median wage is in the 20s or 30s... Eh... depends on the job. I don't think that most prospective veterinarians dream of worki…

    > Restrictions on how private parties can provide a private service are ubiquitous in every market... I'm speaking more about "ought" than "is" here. I don't see any reason why Fac…

    Right, I'm not talking about withdrawing from the market, I'm talking about remaining in the market and being allowed, as a private company providing a private service, to freely a…

    Personally, I'd really not like to see a precedent set for a company entering a market, doing very well, and then being legally compelled to provide their product as some sort of l…

    I find this distinction increasingly odd as time goes on. Or, at the very least, the use of the phrase "real life", as if interactions over the Internet are somehow cleanly separat…

    Appealing to authority is not always fallacious.

    As it should be! The ubiquity of the "funny == upvote" mentality is rather depressing, and I'm glad that HN (generally) tries to avoid that. It makes the comments section a much mo…

    I'd imagine just about anything that exists in any capacity can be tied to the physical in some way. I think that in this context, "tangible" means more than that.

    But if I were to do that, I'd have to go deeper. I'd have to start justifying everything that I do. And I mean everything . I'd have to justify my justifications, and justify those…

    I haven't suggested that general anarchy has erupted. I've suggested that "breaking the rules is part of being human" is a crappy justification for breaking rules.

    >Because breaking the rules (like what "fits HN") is part of being a hacker. Or a human. This sounds like justification for having no rules. I don't know if that's a good idea. >Pl…

    How is that? Again, I don't really mean to press you too far with the questions, I'm just a young guy who hears $110,000 and thinks "gee, that's a lot of money".

    If you don't mind my asking, how far would you say that $110,000 has gotten you in Seattle?
