You're 24 and you think like this? If you don't sort out your thinking, you are headed for a miserable existence. Read the stoics, help people, visit a senior centre, get out of your head. You are a pup so your flawed thinking is forgivable and even expected. That youth is wasted on the young used to seem trite to me but when I read stuff like this I nod at that saying in sad agreement.

Edit: I will add that I'm 46, at what is statistically the nadir of contentment. I think about my aging every day and have to reconcile it with gratitude...this is how all things are reconciled.

Yikes...kindle edition in Canada is $30.

Nope.

It's unfortunate that instead of encouraging (or forcing) these lazy employees to shape up and get better at working from home, they make them come in to the office...cluttering roads and fouling the air (assuming they drive cars, of course). Remote working can function wonderfully but you need the right tools and the right people.

Yeah, very poor choice of words. The writer must not know what it means as the effects of "investment in education, healthcare and retirement" are really the opposite of 'pernicious'.

Can we please mark these as satire in the headline so we don't waste our time if we aren't in the mood?

I agree...though one must admit it has a clever ring to it. :)

Are the sales and marketing departments using the CMS?

Talk to the content managers and people that will be using it every day. Ease of use is key in a CMS. Most enterprise CMS will have functional parity but vastly different UX/UI.

Are your beliefs faith based or based on something else? Honestly curious.

Yep. Please fix the title. Very misleading and much less interesting. I know in the US many restaurant workers get well under minimum wage as it is expected that tips will bring the wage up to minimum so I thought this was just taken to it's logical conclusion that people would pay to work in places where they can earn a lot in tips.

Capitalism is supposed to serve humanity, not the other way around. When this stops happening, if we don't have an alternative system...well, I shudder to think.

Succinct and accurate.

Elected == accountable...generally speaking. Of course there would be corruption and errors. I would trust it over a hegemonic oligopoly though. Have to google the principal-agent problem though. I'm not familiar with that term.

Yes, please.

That's right. There can never be a moral argument in the Randian "meritocratic" universe.

Dramatic click bait IMO. You could really hack that touchbar to do some great productivity enhancements.

IRL, rewards come slowly, if ever. Setbacks can cost years of loss of 'progression'. We are mostly, by definition, average, without much agency, without much optimism, without much opportunity. Video games provide the shortest path to a rich, rewarding experience for our minds. Platitudes about hard work aside (for they are for the exceptional), we are helpless in our pleasure seeking, pain avoiding minds. The disappointing mundanity of the 'real world' cannot compete.

Why is this flagged? HN doesn't like free speech issues? The number of comments tells a different story.

Thanks! Signed up now.

I see a 99EUR piece of molded plastic.

Fair point but it doesn't debate the merits of vegetarianism. I eat meat. I am somewhat uncomfortable with it.

I don't know how they came up with the figures in that article but there is no way you could get a furnished 2bd in Toronto for $1100.

This is cool too http://everynoise.com/engenremap.html.

Yup. Trinkets for everyone. Health care and nice digs for the elites only.

The 'Vegetable Squeeze Test' is about the least significant function this thing can perform. This is revolutionary and exciting stuff and I can't wait to see what applications develop around this tech.

It's on Canadian Netflix https://www.netflix.com/watch/80083790

Enjoying it so far.

Absolutely. The same thing is happening here in Vancouver and it is eventually going to suck the life out of the city. Beautiful homes in formerly vibrant neighbourhoods are left empty...indefinitely...held as an investment by offshore owners. The governments (provincial, civil, and federal) have no intention of limiting foreign ownership so it will continue apace until nobody wants (or can afford) to live here. I rent a house that was bought in 2014 (when I moved in) for $800k and it's now worth $1.5M. Foreign investment is driving this.

Oddly "We've determined your location to be in Canada. We are not licensed to provide booking services for this listing."

I'm curious to know what countries get this issue. We've always had open travel to Cuba as far as I know.

Statistically, most couples in America are straight and white. It would make sense to advertise to this demo...however not exclusively.
