But we're not even concerned with regular people having skills. Why are we concerned with convicts having skills? I don't understand your argument. Prison isn't a rehab center. It'…

ive never taken hn threads into flamewar before. what are you even talking about?

Yeah your motives are so pure. You're a real WK Kellogg. A real Lewis Terman.

The entire point of prison is to remove them from society. Why are we spending more resources on prisoners than people who've never commited a crime?

There is no separation between corporations from government.

You're effectively describing trickle-down economics. "Help out rich people so they pay more taxes which will trickle down to poor people" That's not a real thing. The economy is t…

I love how inmates get a better education and more support from tech companies than the adults who live in the bay area. The bay area has the worst income inequality of anywhere in…

Today I learned there was a giant balloon cow god that existed 44000 years ago.

If you didnt like the ISP market in the USA wouldnt you want to be able to open a portal to an alternate ISP markets?

The brutality of the dark ages has been debunked. The timeline I just gave you about illiteracy, the printing press, the enlightenment, and our 400 year old education system remain…

You ever think about how much we subsidize businesses by paying for college ourselves? The older I get the more I think the university to corporation pipeline is a fucking racket. …

not really a faster road as anyone stuck in an expresslane behind a prius will tell you, but a less congested road free of peasants. Not really sure how this analogy syncs up but j…

If you want net neutrality you should be excited by companies building private networks because it means there's a competitive market that no one ISP or government can control.

>No-one (at least I don't think anyone) is suggesting that knowledge, experience and skills belong to your employer. That's the whole argument. There's literally no other argument.…

"I make some furniture from home" is a completely different analogy from the one i just made. Either you didn't get it or that's willful contextomy. Every company started by someon…
