>that seems to be very difficult politics for some individuals.

Well, the frustrating thing is that those who are suffering essentially advocated for these policies that make them suffer and then just blame Obama and praise lord Trump for "getting things back on track" while their hospitals close.

Also because he is literally blaming Hillary Clinton for stuff that happened while she was first lady.

I swear modern Republicanism is just agreeing with Donald Trump and blaming anything that goes wrong on Hillary or Obama.

By the same token "This thing is stupid and pointless, partly because I didn't find it to fit my tastes. I guess I'll just assume everyone feels the same way I do and I'll marvel at why other people have different taste than me" is something I don't see the point of.

I do recruiting and I had a client tell me they wanted a Design Manager from a specific set of companies. This included Uber. When I looked at how many Design Managers Uber had, I was blown away. I remember them having 50+. Seemed crazy.

I have an accountant and theyre tech savvy and thats pretty much how it all works.

While I generally agree with your points, I think that its a little strange to sum this up as a "really simple problem" and then declare the solution to be building institutions to specializer in the assistance and care of people with a wide variety of issues.

That isn't "simple" at all.

I had a super weird one. I worked for a startup with a British CTO who was very Republican and would constantly rail against poor people and talk about how the NHS killed people and made them wait months.

I was like, wait, you lived there, experienced the opposite of what you're saying and STILL manage to make up lies to make it sound bad? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!

I don't think the parent commenter was arguing any sort of relationship between those things. You brought up the introversion/hermit thing so asking the other guy who didnt bring it up how the two things are related doesnt make much sense.

Huh, its funny because I always thought I hated podcasts because of the typical NPR sound. I love a ton of low budget podcasts now and feel like its a lot more normal/organic to listen to people on lower budget mics than the NPR style mic/sound production.

Because he's lamenting how disingenuous he believes protests are while presenting them in a totally disingenuous manner.

"...and Republicans’ long anti-tax crusade."

"uncharitable characterization of a group that has argued for a simpler tax code with generally fewer loop holes"

Fewer loopholes for middle and lower class folks? Yes. Repealing the estate tax is very literally a new loophole that allows the rich to keep more money while closing that pesky mortgage interest deduction for the middle class. Taxes are just a way of redistributing money. Calling a party pro-tax because theyre moving the burden from one group to another is...interesting.

Just because I'm pretty stunned. The answers to the above question of "what are some things that are over-regulated?" in response to "everything is over-regulated" are:

From the OP: "I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING"

"Haircuts seem overregulated"

"The drug approval process might move too slowly"

So on one side we have "planes not crashing", "electrical codes being followed", "air quality not as bad as in Shanghai".

On the other side we have "haircuts are over-regulated".

Hmm, not sure which side I'm on here...

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you asked that we "not over-regulate everything" and you couldnt come up with a single example of over-regulated things and then brought up one issue in an app you made as why you brought up that "everything" is over-regulated?

This logic makes me really sad. You're complaining about overregulation when under-regulation just killed 300 people because you had to make a few changes in an app once. Please think about this more deeply than, "I know a few hundred people died, but lets not respond too harshly and have me spend a few more hours on my apps".

Please do that next time.

I hear sentiments like this a lot as if everything in the universe is over regulated.

What do you believe are some examples of things that are over regulated?

I run my own small business and in the last 2 years we've bought 4 macbooks. 3 of them have been in the shop for 3+ days getting their keyboards replaced. While I'm glad they replaced them, "shockingly appalling" is pretty much how I felt as well.

I don't really get the dongle complaint though. I have the USB/USB-C/HDMI dongle and I bring that if I need it for a presentation or something, but when I travel I generally just bring a usb-c wall charger and that's it.

Most landlords steal and are thugs. Also most HN commenter's rent is paid by their parents.

Did you actually have these thoughts or did you read them in some sort of "Angsty Teen Thoughts" handbook?

"If Boeing were to give the 737 the 787 treatment the benefit to the flying public, airlines, environment, etc. will be huge but as long as Boeing can sell the 737 without a real upgrade it is a cash cow for them and they'll never stop making it.'

The MAX 8 is very literally the 737 being given the 787 treatment. What are you asking for here? 10 abreast seating? Then it would just be a 787...

Steakhouses. Any place that primarily serves Sandwiches/Burgers and fries.

Why though? Most podcasts with ads also come in an app where you can just skip past the ads with a couple clicks. Is it really not worth doing that to keep a show you like alive?

Why does the state exist if not to "use force" to make the lives of the people in the state better?

Also why are all these people who object to use of "of force" to levy and collect taxes but not you know, literally everything else that the state uses force to do?

The key thing to avoid with dealers is the "come on in". I don't "come on in" until we have a car agreed upon, a price agreed upon, and they've confirmed they're okay with me using my own financing/cash. If they won't do this, they're not worth your time.

I get that its super fashionable to hate on the NYC subway system, but its easily the best transit system in the US. No other city is remotely close.

I don't think that your first paragraph is an honest assessment of the issue. People who buy tube gear are absolutely not looking for "flat, uncolored sound".

I believe Air France still does 4 digit pins :(

Doesn't stop the people in this community from working for his startups and making him richer unfortunately.

I worked for a Khosla company a few years ago and it was pretty depressing to know that if we struck gold, I might get a few million dollars to set my family up, but Vinod would get hundreds of millions to trample on people who werent millionaires. There's no winning in that situation.

These are some suspect numbers. An hour to "finish packing in the morning", why not do that before you wake up? An hour to check in? I've flown hundreds of times and think this has taken 30 minutes once or twice. An hour for security? Last few times I went, it was less than 15, even without TSA Pre.

I mean, sure, if we inflate the numbers badly on one side, that side starts looking worse, but what is the point?

Why does debate always turn into this? No one suggested much more than a ~1.5xish pay increase yet the response is "you expect them to pay 10x the salary and remain in business??"?

What is the goal of just exaggerating and debating a thing no one says versus just debating what people are actually saying?

Recruiter here. Data Science is one of ~3 roles I generally don't recruit for. Not because Data Scientists are super hard to find, but more because companies seem to all want data scientists and all want them to do completely different things and none of them really understand those things. Makes for a pretty lame hiring experience unfortunately. :(

That's my point. We're saying that Robinhood is a success as a company because an early investor would have had a nice exit? Thats our "success" barometer?

I'm going to call BS on that one.

Are they interested? Sure.

Does that interest translate to a normal rear end crash? Nope.
