It's Bloomberg. What else would you expect?

Bullshit.

I'm sorry if this violates HN protocols. But this is an outright lie and needs to be treated as one.

Amen brother.

And the gray beards want something that won't throw off so much RF you can pick it up in your fillings. You don't need a beige box for that, just something that's had five minutes of actual engineering applied to it.

Or NAS. Or other appliances. "Obsolete" hardware has a lot of life left in it after the mainstream has passed it by.

If there were such a place - a sanctuary of sanity in the midst of the madness and chaos that is the current internet...

...do you think anyone who knew anything about it would breathe a word of its existence?

There is a bit of a difference between an employee who accepts a salaried position and the benefits and responsibilities thereof, and asking or demanding an hourly employee work off the clock for free.

"a man who does for a living what Cohen does and nevertheless survives to such an age must be very good at it indeed."

Beware of the old. We've survived. There is a reason the phrase is "Age and treachery will always defeat youth and skill."

"I am very smart."

Vacation, sick leave, and the like are regulated by law in most states/countries.

So is work without compensation. It's somewhat frowned on. Despite your absurd false equivalence.

Cry me a river when paying claims keeps insurers from turning a profit. They brought all the contempt heaped on them upon themselves.

"Or we could just bring back bribing.... "

Oh you sweet summer child...

It would seem this individual is a bit unbalanced...

The grubby hands of kleptocrats dying to see how much of the commons they can exploit without cost.

Haaaa, ha ha ha ha ha ha...

Like corporations have never ever murdered people for resources. Google United Fruit and find out where the term "banana republic" came from.

Really?

How much is your water bill per gallon of water? Now how much would that amount of water cost you purchased from an organization like Nestle?

For all the people here who like to trumpet their advanced intelligence, there are certainly a lot of triple-o stooopid statements made.

A principal in Florida was recently fired for showing students a picture of David. So there's that.

Keep your ethics in your pants.

Those who are quick to defend neo-nazis, white supremacists, neo-confederates, anti-semites, and the like seem to be welcome here. Why would you think the subjects of that defense wouldn't be as well?

So you're in favor of government force as long as it's government force you approve of. You're in favor of the big ebil gummint deciding who banks must have as customers. It would seem that the free market you free speech absolutists seem so enamored of would correct for that and cause a bank/credit card processor to be formed to service your needs. That it hasn't happened would seem to speak volumes about not merely the social acceptability of your actions but also the market's acceptance thereof.

And you still can't shout fire in a crowded theater.

Roll up windows, lock doors, turn on windshield wipers. This scam was rampant in L.A. in the 1980s.

Just for the record, your "first amendment protected behavior" means the government can't prosecute you for said behavior. It doesn't mean anyone else has to tolerate you or your nonsense, including major financial organizations. Or are you saying you want that ebil gummint to impose your will on others?

Also known as snot tape.

Except that when you're marching with swastikas, and displaying nazi signs and slogans, it's kind of difficult to claim you're not a nazi. But you keep right on assuming you have a moral position.

I don't associate with neo-nazis, neo-confederates, racists, sexists, insurrectionists, kiddy diddlers, and the like. So I haven't had that problem with being refused service. Tell me, is it a problem for you? I can't possibly imagine why.

I'm not surprised. I consider it a badge of honor that neo-nazis, neo-confederates, racists, white supremacists, sexists, kiddy diddlers, et al, side against me.

You might consider being concerned if your ideas and attitudes align with those of the aforementioned deplorables. And yes, that would be the correct term.

Edit: Calling people by the correct descriptive terms is not smearing. I'm sorry you are confused.

Nah. It includes some of the most disgusting members of society. Curious how you rise so adamantly to their defense.

Speaking from personal experience?

So do you regularly allow those who espouse viewpoints you find abhorrent into your living room to rant?
