There is a solution and it's very simple: - Kill the parasites. Producers are taxed at nearly 50% rate[income + sales tax + property + wage + others] on what they make. If we kill off the parasites, then we would have…
They are dummies! How do I know? Evidence[1] and experience(having met a lot of professors/students). They are completely worthless parasites who were bad at math/physics/chemistry or something like sports/art in high…
'STUDENTS' - this word is the problem. Students are those studying to become engineers/surgeons[producers] and those studying sociology/gender_studies[parasites]. That's why so many people in humanities departments are…
Student loans are not a problem if you're a surgeon/engineer, because you'll make millions of $ during your career, but they are a problem for dummies studying sociology, gender studies etc. There are few reasons cost…
He had 4 years of lost wages + $65k in debt. When you're in college, you don't work. So, again, he's in much worse situation than someone who learns programming at home in 1 year.
Just look at programming jobs ads. When it comes to degree requirements, ads can be divided into 4 cases: 1) No degree required (not mentioned). 2) Stated that you need either a degree or show some code you've created.…
'Everyone deserves everything' Does this include bonobo monkeys, sharks, dogs, snails etc. ? 'We live in a society...' No. You(member of homo sapiens species) live on planet Earth with many biological organisms, like…
$65k in student loans to learn programming? The author is clearly an idiot. Programming can be learned from home for next to nothing, because you have all the tools you need there. It's not like you're a surgeon and…
Facebook is the biggest scam for most businesses. 1) They've pulled bait and switch when they decided to charge to reach users that have already liked your page. Most of those users liked your page because you've posted…
No, because I will kill myself when I get there. I'm doing all the things I want to do before I grow old and incompetent. All the activities you would do when you're old + much more, you can do when you're younger and…
A better registration system for a global company would be one with a phone number(instead of email) + generated code(instead of a password).
"An approximately rational truth seeking community can reasonably be expected to come to a reasonably good approximation of the truth, compared to what they have access to. As such, such a community can be used as an…
"From a gods-eye perspective, this is actually a good thing, as it brings down the costs of serving peoples' needs." Why do you define 'good' as servicing needs of members of homo sapiens species? What if a good…
"do you support "euthanasia of economically useless people"? If you don't have a job for whatever reason, should you just be left on the streets to die?" YES. Old & incompetent people are 'all cost, no benefit'…
Why are people on HN supporting basic income so much? Do you support 'Guaranteed Basic Sex' as well? You know, there are guys like Elliot Rodgers who would be thrilled with something like that.
To all those whining about being poor - nobody owes you anything. Money, women etc. You are not entitled to any of that because you happen to be recognized as a homo sapiens. If you think you are, then please point to…
Do you also want to go to the kitchen and start bringing your own food and drinks? Getting up a few times, going there and asking if it's done. Imagine if you have dozens of people/kids running around getting food,…
I'm saying government will do it with the help of Uber. Just like they spy on people with the help of FB, Google etc. It's already happening with data. Imagine you have those cars in China. Government just orders some…
Self-driving cars are not driving themselves, they are driven by algorithms. The problem is that cars then become prisons on wheels. Think about it - since you pay with a debit/credit card, your identity is known when…
Automation is not always the most convenient thing. Think about self-checkout or pumping your own gas at a gas station. Wouldn't it be better for the customer to have someone do the drudgery for them? Even in the…
Haven't you got the memo? You are going to die, everyone you know is going to die and when the Sun explodes, Mars is not going to be spared either. This universe will end most likely in a heat death where life and…
What is the point of this company? What benefits do I get from government spending my cash on the company? None. If I want Mars experience, then I'll go to some shitty place in Nevada, which is much cheaper + human body…

They can obviously make money by raising a transaction fee a little bit from 3.5% to maybe 5%-7%. eBay has done it to 10% + PayPal fees and they are making billions in net profits.
$340 was for Q3, which is when most people take vacations and doesn't reflect other quarters. The projection for 2015 was $800-900 million. But, that is year 2015, which is 7th year since they incorporated and I was…
