Do they have to incite a mob to overtake the halls of a separate and equal branch of our government resulting in the deaths of five people including a police officer?

It wouldn't be. Forcing the producers to pay for their externalities will also make some products like bottled water cost-prohibitive to sell in glass bottles and reduce demand or …

Now just put your laptop inside of a HEPA vacuum bag. Problem solved.

We could also just tax the income used to make the donations at similar levels to prior top brackets and not depend on philanthropy as a means to fund public institutions or social…

And also the effects of those couple dozen are nonlinear and the degree of nonlinearity probably varies from subject to subject.

You could also stop this degree inflation by requiring a $15 minimum wage on all jobs but a $25 minimum wage when the job lists a bachelor's degree requirement (applied based on wh…

I think something along these lines would be great. The problem with Amazon competing in their own marketplace is that there is far too much information asymmetry -- they know abou…

No, because stores like Kroger aren't building a marketplace platform, they are building a single thing to sell their products -- this is evident in the fact that there's aren't gr…

But the laws can be structured to deal with those issues, much as they are today.

Also in many cases I am allowed to proceed with the +, but never receive confirmation emails because the sending system chokes.

Your friends could still be considered contractors under this law. One of the provisions that allows you to remain a contractor is that "the worker is customarily engaged in an ind…

Exactly. At least one of these kids used their personal gmail account on the hacking forum. These are not advanced hackers.

But we're not talking about a couple people, we're talking about a culture shift to prevent ageism. In that context, the average age definitely increases, which definitely increase…

No one who works from home has job security in a global market. Plumbers have job security in a global market.

True but the framework is standard, which is why there is no software engineering equivalent to GAAP. GASP?

I am saying that we should react proportionally and that the societal context is critical.

But the risk to the target outweighs the potential benefit to the doxxer. Consequences can be unequal. And if the doxee ends up being the perpetrator, then the bad things were alre…

Reputation risk avoidance. "Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM"

Where did I even come close to making the claim that mobilized mob squads are a "proven remedy to fix power dynamic's distortions in society"?

With which part do you disagree and what is your basis for that?

Knowing that absolute security is a myth, it makes more sense to assume all the systems are insecure and proceed from there, placing only the appropriate level of trust in any syst…

Because power dynamics play a huge role when we're talking about systemic issues, and the current system gives most favorable outcomes to white males. It's not that the other cases…
