Bajeezus··on Uber S-1
He's got an extremely valid point, and morale at Lyft IS low, largely because of the reason above. Definitely not arguing for the sake of arguing.
Bajeezus··on Bill Gates promises to add his own billions if Congress does nuclear power push
If you want to call advancing causes that are objectively beneficial for society "furthering his own interests," then sure.
Bajeezus··on The U.S. Yield Curve Has Inverted
It's significant because an inverted yield curve is a historical indicator of an impending recession.

Bajeezus··on Ask HN: HN supported initiative to transition ageing developers to legal?
I think the massive salary drop off will make the late-career transition from engineering to law hard to stomach. Someone in their 40s or 50s with 20-30 years of engineering experience probably has a family, is thinking about their retirement plans, and is commanding the salary of a senior engineer (at least). Very few people are going to be willing to take 3 years off from work to go back to school only to spend another few years as a junior associate making far less than they could as a senior engineer. A lawyer going into policy or any other altruistic area of the law should expect an even larger salary gap.
Bajeezus··on A Scientist Finds Her Child’s Rare Brain Illness Stems from the Gene She Studies
There is literally no scientific evidence to support this. How does one even "focus" on a gene? Please keep ultra-low effort comments away, thanks.
Bajeezus··on Canada facing ‘brain drain’ as tech talent leaves for Silicon Valley
Tech workers in Silicon Valley generally have very good health care. Winters in the Toronto area are horrible (I grew up in Western NY and would never dream of returning) and the climate in California is much more hospitable. San Francisco is a very diverse city if you stray outside the tech bubble. California isn't very gun friendly either, and gun control isn't exactly an issue that has a huge impact on where most people decide to live, either. I've loved every visit to Canada that I've ever made, but when you factor in the weather and lower pay, I would never live there.
Bajeezus··on Microsoft Convinces Judges to Jail Man for Copying Software It Gives Out Free
You are dramatically characterizing the case. The Feds are the plaintiffs in this case, not Microsoft. The man isn't going to prison for just distributing disks, he's going to jail for fraudulently claiming that his disks were authentic and going so far as to get the original disk design printed on his fake disks. The government originally claimed that the copyright violations on these disks were valued at several hundred dollars per disk, but Microsoft had that value reduced to about $25 per disk, so Microsoft actually helped to reduce his punishment.

This isn't an example of XSS, it's just changing URL parameters.
Bajeezus··on Guild Wars 2 distributed spyware in order to detect cheaters
I seriously hope that this is a joke comment. Otherwise, you may want to step away from video games for awhile...
Bajeezus··on Facebook has lost $100B in 10 days and now advertisers are pulling out
Google has a much better public profile than Facebook. In the eyes of the public, Facebook is a good deal more "evil" than Google.
Bajeezus··on Elon Musk Deletes Own, SpaceX and Tesla Facebook Pages After #deletefacebook
Deactivating your account does nothing to Messenger, not sure about deleting.
Bajeezus··on Amazon announces candidate cities for HQ2
"little-to-no traffic"

As someone who lives in Durham and frequently commutes to Chapel Hill and Raleigh, the existing infrastructure would NOT support a big increase in commuters. During morning and afternoon rush hours, the highways are just BARELY large enough to prevent total gridlock. If you add just 10000 more cars commuting to Raleigh from Durham or Chapel Hill, you have a traffic nightmare in the making.
