If you placed your order with Yellow Pages or with Google, then yes, definitely.

He's just a scam artist who wants media coverage to further his scams.

This is not true. Using apple's in-app billing system is optional. You can always keep your billing entirely out of your free app.

> “Having your earphones in is the universal ‘don’t talk to me’ sign. There’s something strange about that.”

What is strange about not wanting to interact with people? It's a nice, easy way to signal that.

Is this buzzfeed's "The Onion"?

Equity-based student loan funding is way less predatory than debt-based student loans, in my opinion, but every comment I read screams "slavery" and "wage-slave".

Of course, both types of funding can be benevolent and/or predatory depending on how you structure the terms, just like anything else. Unfortunately, our laws don't do a very good job of educating or warning young adults who are all entering predatory loan agreements that can't be voided even in bankruptcy.

A lot of BS in this post: "People who are happy and have hope for the future rarely become drug addicts."

Completely ignorant of the context and causes of opioid addiction and overdose.

As an employed person making 100k, if given UBI I would quit and not do anything productive-to-society for most of the rest of my life. So yes, that is a legitimate argument. The counter-argument is that the benefit coming from more people pursuing entrepreneurial/risk-taking/passion-driven endeavors will OUTWEIGH the lazy fucks like me.

If aramco is a company, so is the united states IMHO

"That’s because we were trialing a lot of things in Louisville, including a different type of construction method — namely, placing fiber in much shallower trenches than we’ve done elsewhere."

Read as: We messed around with your street infrastructure using untested construction methods, and it didn't work very well so WE OUT PEACE. You know what they say, fail fast byeee!

In Amazon's case, it's more like you walk in for Heineken and see three advertisements:

* Best Heineken (a Chinese no-name brand with 1,551 fake reviews)

* Top Rated Heinekan (a Chinese no-name brand with 6,731 fake reviews)

* Genuine Official Heienekan 16oz Can Beer Great Tasting Best Loved By Users Drink Up (a Chinese no-name brand with 5,532 fake reviews)

If Amazon's growth rate decelerates by 1% each year for 10 years, they'd end up with ~$1.7 trillion in revenue, more than 3x walmart. That's more in line with what Amazon shareholders are expecting with the current valuation (i'm not one of them)

We live in a golden age of storytelling.

Long-form TV and long-form podcasts have almost entirely replaced literature in my life, as someone who loves both grandiose fiction and nitty gritty non-fiction. Coincidentally, I don't watch many movies - they're too short to tell a great story.

The medium is not the thing.

Is Google responsible for racism people send in emails to each other?

Is AT&T responsible for racism people send over group text messages?

As much as I dislike FB, you can't just say everything people talk about on a given platform is the PLATFORM's fault. How about it's the NAZI's fault?

Facebook probably has more content moderators than any other company on the planet, at this point.

While it was a great deal, I don't like to use services that change the rules every 24 hours, so I canceled my subscription.

> Two San Francisco supervisors introduced an ordinance last week that would forbid employee cafeterias in new corporate construction.

Yeah, we could use some more traffic and pollution from everyone driving 10 miles for lunch.

As a progressive liberal, california democrats confuse me all the time.

“I do this to my dog — why wouldn’t I do it to myself?”

Because my dog keeps losing his wallet.

There is no good use case for chipping humans outside of imaginary ultra-security-required situations.

This is the only really true, non-theoretical advice in the thread.

OP's description is generally how every project at every company has ever worked, forever.

The average person spends almost exactly as much as they make as income rises. It's a hedonic treadmill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonic_treadmill

"We lost the contract to Amazon"

It's all in the marketing.

Scammy ICO promises? It's a security.

The number of promises the Ethereum foundation and developers have made with regard to expected ROI? Pretty much zero in centralized fashion. Not a security.

If I sell potatoes on the street promising MOON RETURNS 50% a month, i'm selling securities.

Same. I felt like I was racist and sexist while trying to hire people, based on the results (a team of 90% white males). But it was not a problem I could solve.

Someone's name + linkedin profile (almost always included) tends to give it away 90% of the time. Sometimes you don't know, sure, but usually you do. Just like gender.

We didn't ask, of course.

I'm not a teacher, and i'm not running a university, and I have a budget with requirements i've been hired to deliver for clients. How is this even a possibility for me to pursue? I'm not socrates.

I set the job requirements to the absolute minimum of having any relevant anything, including interest, of which there was zero.

I hired about 10 junior dev/qa/pm positions over 3 years as a manager in a SaaS tech company of 50-100.

We posted on every job site and received 1,000+ resumes which I reviewed, in a city with ~30% african american population.

Maybe 3 out of 1,000+ resumes were submitted by african americans, and none met most basic requirements for the position (either a relevant degree, or at least 1 year of related experience, or at least 1 relevant side project).

It's hard to think that I was part of the problem, or could possibly be part of any solution, as the hiring manager.
