crypto is political
Is any technology inherently political, or do we make it political when we pick political fights over it? Did 7-Eleven become a political company when Bloomberg went and banned Big Gulps?

you missed my point. i'm arguing that coinbase is in the business of pushing their own politics, via cryptocurrency, which is very much a political thing at this point. yet, their workers can't discuss other politics. it's very ironic and hypocritical. and yes, i think the members of NAACP would be pushing crypto if that's what they felt was a priority for their cause. i don't understand your logic? edit: i believe t…
Sounds like joining a charity that focuses on topic X and trying to get them to focus about topic Y. Join a charity that focuses on topic Y instead.

There is a difference between people/companies that believe that lives of black people matter and those that claim that BLACKLIVESMATTER. There is a difference between people/companies that believe that women need to have the same rights as men and those that claim to be feminists. There is a difference between people/companies that believe that gays/lesbians are normal people and those who put rainbows everywhere.
Nah, that's what the far right propaganda machine has tried to tell you. You're told to believe that Group X is bad, and when you find that you actually believe in the core tenet of Group X, you have trouble reconciling that. You want black lives matter supporters who don't actually fight for change. You want people who believe that women need to have the same rights to do nothing about their beliefs, and you want pe…
Nah, that's what facts and being a data driven adult have told us. Apparently they line up with the far-right. Looks like reality had a right bias.
>You're told to believe that Group X is bad, and when you find that you actually believe in the core tenet of Group X, you have trouble reconciling that.
Except Group X is bad, and sharing common beliefs is immaterial. Hitler/Nazis believed smoking was bad for you and excessive drinking was a blight on society. I agree with them on that, but there's obviously no issues reconciling the fact that they were bad.
>You want black lives matter supporters who don't actually fight for change.
If they wanted that, they'd be OK with all the neurotic performative virtue signaling at work LOL!
>In short, you love the status quo, and you're scared that giving marginalised groups a better shake might take away some of what you have.
In short, you believe "you're either with us, or against us." Facts, nuance, and logically considering problems are systemic White supremacy culture in your eyes.
>you're scared that giving marginalised groups a better shake might take away some of what you have.
He supports egalitarianism which definitely helps marginalized groups along with everyone else. You're supporting institutional racism.

Users flagged your comment, correctly. "Why are you lying" is obviously against the site rules and you posted it numerous times. I'm referring to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25695491 .
The user is quite clearly lying, and reposting the same lie multiple times: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28803751 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28809332 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28809352 And that single comment you linked to is from 9 months ago.
Yes, we warned you 9 months ago, which means we warned you. If you break the site guidelines after we've already warned you, you're a lot more likely to get banned—and you broke them repeatedly and egregiously. This is not a borderline call!

Is that not the case for most companies? At FAAMG I've seen yearly stock grants be in dollar figures and not number of shares.
There are two different ways companies give RSUs. 1. You get $X of stock grant when you join. This gets converted to number of stocks based on the value of the stock when you join and then the stock vests over the next 4 years. So if you get a stock grant of $400k when you join and the price of the stock at joining is $1000, you get 400 stocks that vest over the 4 years. 2. You get $X of stock grant when you join. Th…
This seems like a gross abuse of the phrase "mission focused" to mean "operating for profit with total blinders on to the wider world". With a very appropriate photo of the 90s Bulls being a group of self-serving egomaniacs who put winning above everything else. My current employer (a non-profit) uses the term "mission focused" to mean "we are serving the public good even when it isn't profitable and acknowledging ou…
The goal in Western capitalism is to create wealth for stakeholders. Those stakeholders can then get involved in politically impactful projects as wealthy individuals if they have a conscience. As competitive, innovative companies they will bring wealth and better lives to their communities long term. There are many good reasons for this system. Wanting companies to play politics means they will be choosing sides of…
