bananocurrency··on U-Haul to Implement Nicotine-Free Hiring Policy
I dont know about you but I really enjoyed this policy as a 22 year old with 10 years experience vs a 30 year old bootcamper. "They have a family they need to support and you're more of a risk" I'm glad we have really innovative policies that allow businesses to grow like this.

Yawn.

...define success? It sounds like you're implying wealth is a meritocracy.

how does giving an anecdote about a dating app experience presume anything about the OP?
bananocurrency··on Sanders wants to replace credit reporting companies with public credit registry
>I'm a progressive liberal, but I believe this is hogwash. Many countries have a government issued national card for citizens. It's not a huge deal. Activists have made it seem like it's a way to suppress voters but I think that's largely BS.

Have you tried educating yourself on the matter? For "some" reason, there are large swaths of land where people have to travel 25+ miles and pay with their already taxed income just for the displeasure of standing in line at the DMV/etc.

Tell me how much of a priority this is to someone who might not be able to drive their own car, or take time out of their job for.

I don't understand why someone would front their statement with "I'm a progressive liberal" while remaining intentionally obtuse, unless they're arguing in bad faith to begin with.

bananocurrency··on The CIA's Secret Quest For Mind Control
this is an interesting way of looking at things -- to compare the potential discovery of mind control to the investigation of a long time grifter. Your phrasing almost makes it seem as if there is just as much truth to each "rumour".

Going to be a while before someone rips Bulma + Vue out of my hands.

I don't think Carmack is the problem here.
bananocurrency··on Performance Matters
I feel the same about my EKG. What's a quarter second when it comes to measuring a heart? Who cares about precision.
bananocurrency··on AI startup claims to automate app making but actually just uses humans
thanks! that's clearly what the above comment was asking. . .
bananocurrency··on Lorem Picsum, death by a million pixel-gigabits
nice to see a digital ocean site with some popularity not getting nuked or otherwise blacklisted.
bananocurrency··on Social exclusion fuels extremism in young men
on what grounds? who is to say that they aren't excluded BECAUSE of their toxic behavior in the first place?
bananocurrency··on Show HN: I made a privacy-focused online journal
Private and distributed? .... Why?
bananocurrency··on Show HN: We track Reddit, Google trends, Twitter, etc. to find trending topics
I'm in the same boat -- stop sending me emails. If your tool is based on email, I'm not going to use it.

Why does it matter that the comment is directed at the founder? No sense in screaming at a customer service rep to change company vision/direction/policy.

bananocurrency··on Equifax removed the $125 claim payout option after millions submitted claims
They aren't sugarcoating -- they are actively encouraging otherwise and taking a stance on the matter. It's disingenuous to the consumer.
bananocurrency··on Users hate change
"Voting with your wallet" always matters. Doesn't matter if it's free or not. It always matters.

The article doesn't say anything about any kind any kind of sexed hierarchy but I guess you'll take any opportunity to blow that dog whistle.

ah yes, anyone who doesn't want to be vendor locked into Cloudflare is incompetent.
bananocurrency··on Burnout and the Brain (2016)
how nice of you to finally specify a drug instead of making a blanket claim.
bananocurrency··on Burnout and the Brain (2016)
I've heard that people who develop stress/sleep deprived related psychosis over a period of two years are already sensitive towards developing it. The same people also should not take drugs, for example, such as weed.
