Not really. It’s more like getting outraged when the government wants to build a road that does nothing. imagine they build half a bridge over a body of water and stop. Do you want to pay for that useless thing?

blue steel took 10 days to render

yeah probably chinese iphone makers. (not americans)

it’s one number that’s easy to get understand.

eh why feel bad for mba’s? some of the highest paid most privileged people in the world

and north korea has never been known to lie, so must be true

Do you have a solution? I can’t thjnk of one. not like you can force fb to pay less.

Ok how about i tell you that if you leave your house you’ll be killed instantly. Are you free to leave whenever? Under your logic yes.

Jesus christ... Yeah i’m sure he’s been in the embassy all this time because he definitely isn’t going to get arrested the second he leaves.

And as a south american journalist who focuses a lot on assange i definitely do think greenwald knows more about the ecuadorean government than you. And you’ve already admitted you aren’t equipped to litigate it.

maybe but his words were intentionally misleading so i wouldn’t blame them for taking them at face value.

i feel like if your theory was true then microsoft would be bankrupt by now. i don’t think the person who purchased the software ever ends up taking feedback or caring about the end user

For everyone freaking out about this consider that half the country doesn’t owe the irs any money because they make too little. So poor people are by definition unaffected. In addition, not paying taxes is literally illegal so not sure why you should be able to blow money on vacations to europe when you are breaking the law and owe the people of the united states money.

they are young but:

1. They have parents which should know better. (especially when cosigning loans).

2. They dont have to go to the most expensive school. I could have gone to a much more expensive school like NYU or USC but chose to go to a UC because thats what my family could afford and I didn't want 100k in loans.

So if i’m despondent and give up searching for a job then doesn’t U-3 unemployment go down and therefore wouldn’t using a definition that included the despondent not be linearly dependent?

Not a fan of Amazon but this article is directly sponsored by the koch brothers. kind of weird we have transparently political articles like this yet others are banned.

why is everyone blaming the government and universities? in what sane universe do people see the student loan crisis we have, and google starting incomes for their degrees and still decide to get massive loans for majors which don’t pay much? do people themselves deserve no blame or is it all someone else’s fault?

This person really tries to absolve him and his family for anything. For one, don’t get how it’s valid to complain that banks were willing to give him loans. It’s his choice whether take them. In addition, this is exactly what people in the past campaigned for: loans for low income people to go to college.

Second he blames society for selling dream that any education was an uncontested pathway to success. Which, once again, is up to him and his parents whether or not they buy that lie

the strangest is when if you were a new hire you would have gotten the salary you asked for..

Not sure what that has to do with Pascal’s wager? This is just basic “expected value” in probability terms.

actually kind of because no one is forcing you to live in the bay area (maybe less than 1 percent of people really have to stay in the area)

don’t get why everyone’s pretending you need to live in silicon valley or a major metro area to tinker for 6 months. i saved enough from a year in silicon valley to support myself multiple years in other parts of the country.

But you said “modern science”, so I assume you can back up your claims in physics and chemistry as well?

And not being able to swarm into another country is equivalent to slavery?

Everyone’s “biggest problem with react native” seems to be different. Not sure what that means but don’t think it’s a positive sign.

it has. there’s twin studies where they are adopted to differnt families and yet end up scoring the same on IQ tests later in life and end up with similar levels of educational attainment and income etc

and what would these same people do instead? you’re pretending there’s some much better job out there waiting from the uber is preventing them from taking

maybe because MANY christians say that ALL non-christians are bad and going to hell?

The chinese accept their authoritarian regime simply because of the immense economic growth they’ve had over the past few decades. Not long ago they were starving under Mao. No one revolts under good times and risks going back to starvation.

not many that disregard human rights or are as callous as the chinese govt.

Imagine if this same thing happened with Microsoft and imagike people’s reactions.
