>But I still don't know why - if this is the case - why people who are still employed/working full time, getting their regular paycheck, just working from home, would feel the need…

I've had 9 in 4.5 years. 3 were from me choosing to switch teams. All others were moves within 500ft to adjust for growing teams. Why do you think it's a big deal to switch desks e…

>And yet that argument is never made to justify paying line-workers more. This isn't an argument to "justify paying the leadership more". That's backwards. This is an argument to s…

What if you prefer to get the most money you can to the cause that you care about?

That's assuming the five CEOs aren't going to go after the same $1million each. A more talented CEO might be able to bring in new streams of money. Y'all are bringing up a ton of h…

A very pessimistic view of everything! I can't say anything about your fraud or conning comments. Obviously that's bad, and I worry that you're arguing in bad faith by bringing tha…

> I see big problems with this type of arrangement - you raise ten dollars while spending five thousand on the event itself. Yet you will call this a charity event? This reminds me…

Are they over priced? They're cheaper than Sennheiser or Bose at $159. They have a value-prop of having their own, better, wireless protocol that works flawlessly with iOS. And peo…

One screw up isn't going to keep me away, as I've had mostly good experiences with Airbnb. Is it worth a one time screw up of $200 for my years of positive experiences? For me, yes…

Not always. Sometimes you have to sling a tree or rock in order to rappel. Sometimes gear gets stuck and you have to move on. Sometimes you drop gear by accident.

I agree with you as far as startup costs go. But your example is only if you only boulder indoors. Costs add up quickly if you want to move outdoors and want the flexibility to do …

I guess I just have completely different use cases. Why would I want to read Facebook messages from complete strangers? If I don't want them to be Facebook friends, then I'll give …

This is what friend requests are for. I don't want unsolicited messages from people. It's bad enough for me on LinkedIn, where that's the whole point.

I think it's an important distinction to say that is isn't a space issue, it's a money issue.

I can usually find Twinings anywhere where I am in the US. How would you rate them?

I'm not sure what app it is, but I really really like the feature where you can see exactly how many groups (and their sizes) are in front of you in line. Makes it easy to decide w…

You specifically said that the "US outright ban[s]" it, which is incorrect. Private companies can change whatever they want to sell more of their product. That's not censorship, th…

So a couple things (From the US perspective): 1. Copyright, trademarks, and patents are a pretty weak argument for "censorship" IMO. But I guess I see where you're coming from. The…

Hypothetically would you rather have: 1. Someone making $100k who is able to bring in and distribute $3m in donations per year 2. Someone making $300k who is able to bring in and d…

Accessibility is a good reason to not like it, that's very fair. That alone puts it from my original neutral position to it being a negative overall.

I'm legitimately curious. Please help me understand. Again, I don't see how its worth all the hassle and surely extra cost for Apple to push it, but really don't see how it's any w…

What utility did the previous bar have? Volume changing? Screen brightness? Those are better with the touchbar. Escape key for vim or whatever? Switch your caps lock with escape! Y…

I feel like this type of job self selects for people who would totally do that. Also, disobeying orders in space has happened before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylab_controver…

To be clear, I wasn't arguing either way. I was just saying that a single poster on this site is not a way to get a feel for how common an opinion was back then. Your link is a muc…

Ok. Why does that make their singular beliefs relevant? I'd expect the poster I was responding to to link news articles, politicians, political pundits, etc. to show it was a not a…
