This would generally have the same effect as the blockchain user buying the stock directly, but through an intermediary collecting premium.
Unless you think parents value "100% on their tests" more than receiving a quality education.
I trust a parent's judgment more than administrators looking to prop up their numbers.
Give parents a voucher, as good as cash, for their child and let them choose the school.
Private companies will compete for those vouchers, aligning focus on satisfying the parents and the children, rather than the government.
Why hire a black, hispanic, or LGBT person, if you have no ability to fire them without being labeled, canceled, or sued. Safer to just hire the white straight guy.
Should we tax the automobile for displacing the horse stableman.
Zerohedge was reporting this early on, and Twitter banned them for "misinformation".
I cringe every time I hear this from people.
Rich people pay WAY more than what they get back from the gov.
If I don't like one email provider, I can always move to a different provider without losing access to all the user's that remain there.
If I could make a Facebook post and have it's content propagate to other providers, websites would act more like UI filters rather than gatekeepers.
Language is a way of conveying meaning.
Hyper focusing on the words being used, diminishes time spent on the transaction of mind.
A worker sells their labor and a company purchases it.
When everyone lived in SF, a worker wouldn't accept a job paying below $100k because they wouldn't be able to afford to live. That same person in a cheaper state could negotiate a lower price, but most of the talent was saturated in SF. Now that everyone has left SF, there's no point in paying those prices if they can still retain you for a lower wage.
Pretty valuable actually.
Never let a good disaster go to waste.
Seems like free speech is on a tight rope after the "insurrection". Sure didn't waste any time.
When group size is large, conversation is shallow.
HN is a relatively small group with a relatively confined subject matter.
Same concept applies on reddit, with small niche subreddits.
There's more conversation depth with smaller groups of people.
I don't want to have to think about the political beliefs of a CEO before deciding to use a service.
An "email like" structure, rather than single company lock in.
"Build your own Facebook"
"Build your own hosting service"
"Build your own iphone/android"
"Build your own ISP"
I don't like where we're heading
