Sounds like a great opportunity to start another payment service. PornHub already has a strong dev team, from what I understand, and it would probably be relatively easy for them.

> This implies higher requirements for protein and essential fatty acids. The body does not produce them, it must be brought in via animal proteins. This is not true. Proteins and …

Jeez, are entry-level devs really making 180k at Google?

I suspect it's more that the very confident have their messages amplified on social media. Most people I encounter in person are not like that.

> I have no idea how to regulate it though, but I think we need to do something. Why should it be treated any differently than other media? What we need is a return of the Fairness…

IANAL, but it is generally illegal to volunteer for a for-profit organization federally. See the Fair Labor Standards Act and Dept of Labor site [1]. The most relevant recent test …

As a former service worker, I'd argue that cutting employee hours was exactly the goal. Typically, in a restaurant in Philly or places with similarly lower-than-minimum service wag…

If by this day, 40 years from now, Zuck hasn't at least launched an exploratory committee for a presidential run, I would be extremely surprised. If this were reddit, I'd promise t…

Wouldn't you want to know if you were indirectly lining the RNC coffers?

This title is misleading. They are not attacking Syria, they are attacking separatist groups backed by the US in coordination with Syria's military.

I do not question their economic activity. Whether that's been for the good of anyone but China and the world's billionaires... I'm not so sure. Either way it wasn't done for the b…

I don't think that's true. It's saying that you're going to make as many changes as you reasonably can in your life. Perfect is the enemy of good. (And only a sith deals in absolut…

Which of those signifies benevolence? What foreign infrastructure projects? Surely not the ones where they lend money to foreigners but then China owns them? That's just investment…

I find it interesting that there isn't a Boycott / Divest / Sanctions movement for China, despite the human rights abuses they've always committed, in addition to more recently hol…

You're considering China to be a new benevolent economic actor? Can you explain what behavior you consider "benevolent"?

This sounds like it's great for web developers like myself. We'll have jobs for years to come! And it will force companies to really think about their functionality and ensure that…

AWS isn't mentioned in the article at all... not sure why you're mentioning it. It's considered to have a similar valuation to Google Cloud though. According to this, however, AWS …

Government solves problems with money. The US government spends little on healthcare, which causes citizens to spend more. Perhaps I should clarify that the only way we are going t…

This is equivalent of asking for a ban of wax stamp seals in the age before the internet.

It's like when the Republicans said in the 90s that you don't solve problems by throwing money at them. But that's exactly how many problems are solved.

> pattern of behaviour over years Let's say I found 10 times over two decades where you did something inappropriate (I think the average person would be a saint if this was the num…

This is far from an Amazon-specific problem. Glassdoor allows you to pay to remove bad reviews. So does Yelp. I bet G and others do too. Of course, even easier than paying to remov…

Uber works because of the rider-driver matching, not the routing. Everyone has google maps.

I think it's interesting that out of 120+ comments on opioids, nobody mentions the elephant in the room: Some studies find NSAIDs are as effective in the treatment of pain [1]. You…
