Pfft... Reminder to self: sense of humour not allowed on HN unless you're part of the clique, when then becomes permitted.

Sure there is. I've seen them. They wear back suits, black sunglasses, and drive big black oil guzzling SUVs that move in tight groups travelling at the exact same speed. I've also…

It would just be replaced with a new shiny organization having a new name, more freedom to do more harm (given its lack of baggage) and probably end up employing the same people. S…

> ... so US companies are to blame? Blame is irrelevant. These countries are choosing to backlash against a product problem. > ... they should be considered a threat? Yes. Unless, …

People who "actively" avoid churches often do so for reasons other than their personal life challenges. Also, you're painting a picture as though you can come for the other benefit…

> discriminatory rejection patterns. Maybe I'm lacking imagination, but how do you account for the renter and Airbnb having vastly different sets of information to work from? Also …

There's a huge flaw in there. When I rent a unit, I will do some client research and to the extent I can I will block the rental based upon my findings. For example if I read their…

> ... entire category of jobs became obsolete fast enough... I don't see how this is an 'entire category' replacement nor do I see how it will happen any faster than say automated …

However it is possible that the perfect machine ends up being largely the same as human beings with a built in evolutionary path for advancement. Such machines would then face the …

Side question: what prevents a basic income from being a driving force behind an inflation jump making the system less stable? For example: rent. Wouldn't landlords managing proper…

Welcome to corporate America. I agree with you, but the people on this forum are not writing comments defending the old boys club when they suggest her pay is not abnormal in the m…

I see it as defending the free market economy. I don't think any of them deserve hundred million dollar pay checks, but really the supply/demand of talented CEOs is so out of whack…

Her severance would be due to a sale. There are lots of regular employees that get severance packages when they're let go due to a sale. What's her severance in proportion to her a…

The comment has context. So read: adopts much more responsibility than an engineer. On a day by day basis she makes decisions that have a more significant impact. She has to cover …

I agree people should get rewarded for performance and that there are people often taking advantage, but still the entire ballpark area of pay that she gets is guided by market com…

I agree they are paid generously and even overpaid, but they deserve to be paid more than an engineer. How much is debatable, but that's really established by the market. I just do…

But maybe she did a great job responding to the crises and swerved the ship in the right direction, out of harms way, but just not enough to prevent the crash. Maybe she did a bett…

One more tip. Finding substitutes really helps. Soda stream is awesome provided you don't add the syrups. I do 90% soda water with 10% orange juice or grape juice and I love the st…

Or a new job is needed. :)

I suspect were not going to agree and that's ok. Everyone has different priorities and there's no shortage of companies putting a priority on profits/growth over taking the time or…

I put forth a response below to a similar point here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11598409 Thanks :)

I didn't set out to change my diet or even diet+excercise. I set out to excercise alone. I changed my diet long before that, but it didn't lead me to excecise and it I wasn't able …

I know knowledge is power and the plan you linked is probably good advice, but for my personality type I don't think that would've worked. It's simply too much work :). During the …

I should note I spent the first month ramping up from 20 min of jogging to 45 min of jogging which is why I put 6-7 months. If anyone decides to start jogging based on what I wrote…
