Whether that behaviour is good or bad have nothing to do with the economic system in place. Pure capitalism have obvious flaws. To me, a company being more powerful than a country …

I think the framing that "individual bad actors must be regulated for the good of the collective" is wrong here. In my opinion, what GP is saying is more along the line of "powerfu…

That's a common point of view, but when your disability is never someone else's problem, it becomes waaaaaay harder to manage. You should display more empathy to people that don't …

Then maybe the easy solution is to make sure anyone showing up late doesn't disrupt anything? That accommodates everyone, is flexible, and does not unfairly punish anyone. _THAT_ i…

It really shows that you know nothing about sleep-related disabilities. I know someone suffering from idiopathic hypersomnia[1]. You can't just "choose" to go to bed earlier to wak…

You do realise this system is unsustainable, though ? We just cannot grow infinitely just because .end of life care costs money. We are way too many, and the #1 source of global wa…

You are saying > the thing so many of people with these views have in a common is they feel no shame about the harm they are causing. > If in your own opinion you did something wro…

I think there is a huge difference between making something illegal for business (here: gambling in games) so that huge companies can't profit off of that legally , and making some…

And why should we maintain the population ? Have we reached the perfect amount of people on earth ? We could be a lot less humans on earth, it would be amazing for the environment,…

That's interesting. A little nitpick : you seem to imply that buying a book is having an influence on parenting skills. I'd argue that's its correlated but does not have a direct i…

> You know, your way of thinking will eventually lead to understanding that interviewing is inherently discriminatory against everyone but the best candidate That's not discriminat…

That's an interesting idea. It would need some kind of tweaking for low values otherwise it would be exploitable to generate as much revenue from a 10 people sub then from a bigger…

I work for a > 100 people company where the business model is entirely based on donations. We are using stripe for payment and it costs us money, but you can still use our service …

Well, the difference may come from the language. "I am hungry" translates in french to "J'ai faim" using the "have" auxiliary. You "are" hungry in english, but I "have" the hunger,…

I suffer from a disability and so does my girlfriend. Note that our main language is French and so there is a bit of nuance to how the terms are used. Disabled is usually said "han…

I've seen this at least twice on the french websites jeuxvideo.com and marmiton.org. I may have seen more but do not remember. It think it's a gray area right now though.

That’s an interesting take. I would add that while you don’t necessarily need your life to have a purpose, having a job (or hobbies) that have a purpose is important. Whether the p…

I think the words "meaning" and "calling" are a bit strong. They all kind of imply the notion that there is one thing that will make you happy and that you have to find it. In real…

In France, for example, you have 4 months (and you can renew it 3 more months so 7 in total) probation period. If you need more then 7 months to realise you've made a wrong hire, t…

Hi Michael, congratulations ! In what ways do you think your disability has been a force or an obstacle to your startup ? Also, combining your main job plus building a startup must…

And what if you care about your privacy ? Because there is ONE alternative doesn't really mean I have the freedom to choose...

As someone working 50%, I can relate. I answered more than 100 messages last year on LinkedIn from companies/recruiters interested in my profile, and got to the end interview part …

Well they tolerate it because there is no other choice. You can't say f** all the apple users. Would you have the same argument if Windows took a 30% cut of all transactions that h…

And if I'm uncomfortable with Android, what should I use ? I have the choice between being abused by Apple, Google or having no apps because no one bothers developping apps for Lin…

It has to be a financial compensation during the period covered by the non-compete. I think it also has to match your salary (otherwise it would be easy to exploit), but I'm not 10…
