how could this possibly be worth it for RH? Their reputation is ruined with their core customer base and regulators are going to go after them now too
good luck starting an eccommerce business where everyone has to write you a money order. oh and you can't use amazon, ebay, or shopify either you don't really believe what you're saying do you? that's like telling…
yes but practically big businesses can get away with these types of things without much fuss. even in the case where Apple and Google were caught wage-fixing, and there were emails from the CEOs blatantly colluding to…
are you under the impression that the hollywood studios published an actual blacklist and openly admitted to collusion? They didn't do that, just like the tech giants are not doing that now, as they take the same action…
you are being intentionally obtuse. there is obviously a difference between a t shirt vendor and 1/2 of a duopoly on online payments. the other of which also (coincidentally in your view) took the same measures to…
again I'm not making a legal argument but a moral one. >If the government can take away your rights, then they can take away mine too. I don't support that and will defend your rights as vigorously as my own, whether I…
when did I say Stripe didn't have the legal right to do this? I used the Hollywood blacklist as a parallel precisely because it too was a legal enforcement of political speech by a big consolidated industry that had the…
the civil rights act effectively does protect speech with regards to religion and sexual orientation, since the idea that we won't discriminate against those things as long as nobody finds out is not what it means
What you are saying is word for word the libertarian argument against the civil rights act ("if we have to bake a cake for gay weddings, what if wants a cake for their child bride!"). I happen to disagree with it as it…
Hollywood is a private business as well. They were within their rights to make a blacklist. And people cheered on big business for protecting them and snitched on their friends to their employers, just like they're…
the poster you are replying to seems to be arguing that Qanon people should be a protected class under the civil rights act because it's a hokey pseudo religion with prophecies, shamans, and everything. That absolutely…
I think our history books do a disservice when they teach McCarthyism by focusing only on the falsely accused-- many Americans really did support the USSR and some even swore an oath to Stallin. The lesson should be…
If you make 75K that's more than double the US median personal income and you still qualify for the checks. It's a good living in the US outside of a handful of cities. Also I think a lot of buyers are young people…
fabien giesen, also at RAD, has a very informative blog as well. https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/ they have a seriously impressive group of developers
another round of stimulus checks is going to set bitcoin off on another bull run imo. you could see a drastic effect as soon as the $600 started hitting people's checking accounts
Thomas and Alito went out of their way to say that they thought Texas had standing but would still not grant further relief
I think people who have a healthy relationship with games agree with you, but for me, the obsessive grinding only made the games less challenging/fun, with no reward except larger numbers on the menus-- like if the…
Of the thousands of hours I spent playing single player videogames in my youth, a surprisingly small amount was spent having fun or doing anything interesting or challenging. It was mostly just tedious grinding on my…
this is what I don't get though. Why mortgage your future earnings to take a MOOC from a random startup employee when you can get the same from a world class professor for free?
If you're self motivated enough to follow a curriculum on your own, you're probably much better off using online resources from MIT/Stanford/Harvard which are not only free but much better quality. The learning…
again I asked one question. I was only a little bit curious because op's experience sounds a lot like what my friends and I did when the iOS app store first came out in college, so I was just wondering what platform…
I asked a single question and said I was just curious and didn't need specification lol. why go out of your way to spread negativity?
totally understand you don't want to specify, but could you say what kind of product it was (ie mobile app, saas, udemy thing, crypto...etc)? just asking as someone curious about this type of thing
Current employees are not the only revenue generators within a company, especially in a high margin monopoly business. Most of the value in Google was created over a decade ago when they achieved market dominance so…
Well of course you need a product. What I'm saying is that the median engineer at Big Tech does very little to influence it in any meaningful way(at least that was my experience, and people I know who have worked at…
