The pressure to make money out of it will turn your forum into what could be another subreddit. To repeat HN you'd need to remove pictures (they invoke emotions and attract unsophi…

Why? It's a great delivery. It may sound harsh only to our truth-allergic world of big corps.

In a situation where a criminal breaks into someone's house and brandishes a knife, the intent doesn't matter and the criminal shouldn't have agency to decide the outcome. I think …

Everyone can't just collectively move away from the MLS database. I'm sure redfin is trying to figure it out. I like to say that the reason you need two agents to sell a house is b…

You sound like an efficient assets manager. People turn to a suicide because their life is miserable, often for objective reasons (e.g. cancer) and you may find it hard to believe,…

Before curbing the "gun epidemic" I'd look up how many lives are saved vs how many are unrightfully taken. A proxy for the first number is the number of burglaries - about 1.5 mill…

Well, if I was a woman, I wouldn't take your advice.

How many violent home invasions are reported per year?

It's their right, though. You can't take away someone's rights because you feel morally superior.

The fear of gun violence is imaginary. The media instills the fear because, quoting the Chomsky propaganda model, "when people fear, they accept authority". Most people in the US w…

I see Mark doesn't waste time.

Referrals. Someone needs to vouch for you.

The risk of being shot in the US is below obscure kidney problems. Guns is a microscopic problem in the US that looks big only under the media's microscope. The real elephant is ca…

I'd say you're chasing mirages and building sandcastles and look down upon the lazy neighbors who just watch the sunset.

Gun violence exists only on media outlets. However 600k/year deaths from cancer is very real and the US healthcare won't miss a chance to bankrupt those people before they die.

If you owe 30k to irs - you have a problem. If you owe 30 trillions - irs has a problem.

Just like the name "Liberia" and "Democratic Republic of" hint that they have no liberty and democracy respectively, the "united states" prefix hint that the states in america aren…

Add /.compact at the end to reduce the hostility even further.

The broken concept is downvoting for others. Instead, it should be downvoting for yourself. If somebody downvotes of flags something, I don't want that something to be hidden from …

You imply good will of bitcoin miners. Once it becomes big enough for state actors, people in power will burn the Amazon forest or dry up entire rivers to mine bitcoin. Our civiliz…

A dissenting opinion. If those in power really cared about global warming, the WH would have codified work from home into law. Right now the big corps are pulling workers back to o…

Even with a 1M income you can't catch up. Their 10M grow at 10% per year, which gives 1M in the first year alone, while you can put only 0.5M after taxes. In 20 years it will take …

It's not conspiracy, but an observation that hamburgers, cars, houses and yachts inflate at different rates. The gov inflation concerns hamburgers, but someone's making 200k really…

Emma, no, the top 1% has at least 10M in liquid assets (primary residence doesn't count). 150k will never take you to that level.

Nonprofit doesn't mean cheap. I see it as a defence contractor of some sort: it gets big money from the gov, hires the best staff, but is also regulated and doesn't report to wall …
