No one is being restricted from bargaining collectively. They’re just being given the choice to opt out. Unions just get upset because they lose their monopoly status to police wor…

Right to work is pro employee. If unions want membership they shouldn’t be able to coerce it. They should have to earn it and compete for it. If a union can’t survive based on volu…

Having a lower tax rate is different than paying less tax. Not saying there isn’t something wrong with a lower tax rate, but it’s disingenuous to frame it this way.

The challenge with this framing is that you're equating social media to newspapers which provide editorialization. IIRC, one of the core distinctions that allow many tech companies…

Why does an App Store have any say in the content of an online community? I’m sure there is plenty of content on Reddit that Cupertino censors may not like. Can / do they apply sim…

Didn’t LinkedIn lose a lawsuit that forced them to allow scraping? How does that not apply here?

I just refinanced a jumbo at sub 3%. Definitely happening.

Wow it’s really creepy that there is a subscribe button that is prefilled with my email address. I realize that sub stack has this information, because I’ve subscribed to other new…

Agreed. I’ve read both and would also recommend this first. The good fellow book goes deep fast. This was my review at the time https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2196621333 Tha…

This is one of my all time favorite technical books. I wrote a review of sorts a few years back[0]. It doesn’t cover any deep learning topics, which perhaps dates it at this point,…

Election season in the US seems promise if brief

Definitely not on the Protestant branch of things.

I posted this in the previous HN convo but reposting: And this is just state surveillance. There’s a guy who’s building a private surveillance network in San Francisco, with the bu…

I’m sure the true answer is ambiguous, but “personal data” by that definition seems to imply almost any form of account creation. For sure, that seems to imply you can’t use email …

Dumb question: can someone explain to me the implications on startups and side projects? Does data mean, any data? If I’m reading that correctly it’s illegal to allow EU users to u…

And this is just state surveillance. There’s a guy who’s building a private surveillance network in San Francisco, with the buy in of the District Attorney and local police departm…

The Black Lives Matter protest is marching over the bridge today starting at Noon. I'm sure it'll be an eerie experience.
