Why do you think Spotify removed the podcasts?

Web3 is still centralized.

Most other people who worked on the vaccine in a similar capacity to him disagree with him, no?

Both "sides" censor and deplatform. Only one side pretends they don't.

Sure...

Switzerland has a minimum wage, no?

[1] Assuming I replace 250 kcal from pork per day with Tofu (around 100g of pork which seems to be considered "one serving"), this would be savings of ~1 kg CO2e per day: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-kcal-poore

I think most people get more than 250kcal a day from meat. Seems like a strong argument to go vegan to me.

I worked with a dude a decade ago who called me saying he was going to be late because there was a big line at McDonald's haha

Those countries are either very strong union countries or countries that have lower standards of living.

Better for who? Probably not the shareholders.

Lazy? It seems like you were not doing the job Amazon wanted you to do but rather some other job that you decided was better to do.

I think you did the right thing. But to me it seems the other managers were doing the job amazon told them to do, not being lazy.

You miss the point. No one is saying capitalism will literally cause breadlines. They are saying capitalism has made breadlines needed in some circumstances. These are different things but related.

You would have net $3m+ on any of those homes?

Yeah. Buying a home has been considered an investment by many, and they expect the value of their home to increase.

Just make sure you're understanding charts like this: https://dqydj.com/historical-home-prices/

Maybe we are due for a correction - but there are reasons why housing went up so much the last few years. One is correction from the bust after 08, another is because people drastically changed their lives in response to the pandemic.

It is not super easy to get a loan. It isn't going to be like 08.

500k is getting close to 10x the salary.

I'm not saying you're wrong.

Homes in that area are about 10x that salary - so no. Reasonable ends at 3-4x your salary. I would be surprised if you could get a loan if you're taking a mortgage out that is 8x+ your salary... but maybe you can in France? Not in the US!

People are also human, and as employees we tend to expect management to be perfect.

I've said this before on HN: for a while I thought that execs were overpaid (generally, it is true!) until I worked with some founders and owners of companies who really did bring 10x or 100x the value I did to the company.

It doesn't mean they did 10x the work, but they definitely brought the value.

Unvaccinated assholes will still take up hospital beds and prevent your mother who has cancer from getting surgery.

Way more people will get omicron than the flu.

We can't exactly ask teachers to get covid can we?

I 100% agree. My high school in the US was a shit show. It was basically like the redditor described but there was no COVID. Going to school is still valuable.

That's without wind chill?

How?

Well, yes this is good advice no matter what, but it doesn't get rid of the bugs!

Lots of my bugs are because of unexpected data. I imagine these systems cannot account for that?

Can't you use this same argument when being critical about any technology, or really anything complex at all?

It is some kind of logical fallacy - just because really smart people worked on something and dedicated their lives to it doesn't mean it is good or correct or that it works.

That's ok! Having your own boat can be a nightmare sometimes. You gotta love it.
