Young, inexperienced people tend to not know their worth and are easily manipulated into working longer for less. Sometimes the hiring calculus maximizes quantity over quality.
> Gig economy jobs were never meant to be people's bread and butter This is the same talking point people use when arguing against raising wages for retail or fast food workers. Reality shows that, like retail jobs, gig…
> But OP referred to the “toxic” nature of the fish. What’s “toxic” besides the PCBs? If you had watched the documentary you commented on, you would know. Insecticides, dioxins, various neurotoxins, heavy metals, and…

Power will always opt for securing and expanding its hold, and in its paranoid frenzy it is evident that rights, people and property are expendable to the vanguards of absolute security. I don't think anything happened…
The assumption that the public can be exposed to potentially harmful radiation by people with a badge and no accountable way of verifying any relevant degree of training, study or certification is equally as ludicrous.…
I'm not a lawyer, but I'd say it would hinge on how much the NYPD publicly releases about how they're used in investigations. I expect that if they're used in criminal or FISA Court suits, evidence will be obfuscated,…
What implications does this program have for the 4th amendment right to not have a search conducted without a warrant? If they're used on the public at large, generating mass probable cause or a blanket expectation that…
"Passive" scanners violate the 4th amendment just as much as "invasive" ones. Kyllo vs United States determined that thermal imaging without a warrant was a search and constituted a violation of a person's 4th amendment…
That it does, but you cannot dismiss the addictive qualities of ketamine with such a statement, because it is an addictive drug. What part of tolerance build up and withdrawals makes you think it isn't physically…
Tolerance builds quickly and a strong mental addiction develops quickly. Having to take a shit ton constantly means you're pissing brown within a few months and cessation means withdrawals (nothing even close to heroin,…
This seems more of an outlet to vent and quantify the frustration of the Python 2 to 3 migration than it is a 2 vs 3 use survey. I transitioned to 3 over a year ago and haven't looked back. I am happy with how the…
Why mention the "psychoticlike" effects? Don't sleep or alcohol do the same? Psychotic effects can have lasting mental damage to those susceptible to mental illness, just as heightened blood pressure and heart rate…
Money is the oil that runs the firms. Kickbacks, favorable contracts, consulting opportunities, (legal) protection and maybe business intelligence from the most well funded vehicle on Earth? It's a cushy deal.
Given the increasing amount of PR pieces and fluff pieces fellating multinationals (the Firestone ebola article, anyone?), I wouldn't be surprised.
Phew, problem solved.
Prisons aren't punishment and retribution factories. I also like that you get on your soap box about being detained as if that justifies your shitty opinion. Having been through the system as well, I am amazed that…
You are fooling nobody and your use of code words to organize a crime would be held against you in a court of law if anyone gave a damn about your post here on HN.
It may be "incredibly safe" physically, but it is known to trigger mental disorders in people who may have had a predisposition or not. I don't think something that has that powerful of an effect on someone's mind…
Sorry, any insights and perspective shifts brought on through tripping can be made just the same if you work on it through life experience instead of relying on a drug to enlighten you. I say this as someone who has had…
The AGPL prevents no such thing, they are free to do so provided they follow the license the creators published the code with.
Some federal judges turn a blind-eye to such tactics because doing so puts people they think are guilty behind bars. Other incentives wouldn't be surprising, a la Kids for Cash.
You don't have to become a psychopath to be goaded into dropping everything in your life to build an unlikely fortune for a VC, just naive and greedy.
It's surprising that one would be depressed working 10hr+ days for little to no pay chasing what, as time goes on, seems to be a dubious dream to make someone else very rich.
Violent abdominal heaving + swallowed magnets = greater chance of injury
