Not a ton of details in your post but I will attempt to decipher what appears to be the problem from a tech dev manager perspective 1. Project time - were expectations communicated…

dont know anything about the economics panel/survey but citing Krugman on HN is pretty weak given his most infamous quote: "The Internet's effect on the economy is no greater than …

this is only really possible in a very controlled ecosystem. Apple has this down well but MSFT does not. For example for this recent patch certain (major) antivirus vendors rendere…

this ^ Value is value -- for sure but Value derived from luck of the draw (e.g. Norway's current citizens banking on their ancestors settling in a land rich in oil). Frame it this …

simple sure but let's talk about what it would take to give a meaningful dividend to all americans If we used a conservative 3.5% average return to give $1,000 USD for each America…

have you ever worked in a government setting? I would hardly call them the epitome of a highly functioning workforce. Laziness and waste is rampant.

Why is this trait desirable vs. teaching self reliance? Philosophically I personally dont see why the obligation should be on the children to support the parents. The parents choos…

TLDR: 60% DNA shared with humans + 4 chromesomes for easy mutation tracking + 2 week reproductive cycle for fast generation studying + easy to house/keep alive = great lab specimen…

You are conflating fairness vs. justice. The world is far from fair -- genetics, place of birth, medical conditions, accidents, etc will always exist like you mention. The moral/ci…

+1 for this. Libertarians are not against laws. In fact contract enforcement is arguably the most important law.

The fallacy in your logic is that the streets were not designed for kids to play in. They are designed for cars to drive on. Furthermore, like was mentioned by previous posters and…

do you know the level of security they put their code through? Especially for mission critical systems? Most of us programmers take for granted libraries and COTS products that we …

While this post has some good points it lacks an understanding of capitalism. Mainly that the prices charged are in relation to what the market can bear and NOT just what the costs…

A bit of both actually. No one is immune to some of that bias even the big league players. The over-zealousness wasnt necessarily a turn off but it put the corp dev department in t…

I used to work in corp dev at a big tech company (not a typical silicon valley). This is pretty much spot on by Paul Graham per usual. I was typically the one doing the initial con…
