I sincerely doubt David Wong will offer any rebuttals to your very valid points.


Publishing someone's name in a thread as a weapon in an argument is a personal attack and the sort of thing we ban accounts for. Please don't do that again.

It pains me to see how many posters on this thread are not aware of the leakedsource (.ru, .co, etc.) websites that show the exact thing HIBP shows, except with a much higher fidelity.


Am I the only one here who doesn't prefer self-service?

Although I definitely appreciate the idea of having options for people who do not share my mentality, my ideal shopping experience is where I have to do the least amount work.

I don't want to have to put my cart up. I don't want to do self-checkout. I'm not going to tell a robot what kind of vegetable I want. I appreciate being able to call a store to resolve an outlier issue.

As a consumer, I will always be willing to pay extra $$ for what I suppose is now becoming a premium perk.


>>you can't fuck your employees over with low wages like you can elsewhere

Not all Nordic countries even have minimum wage laws (Sweden, Norway). I'm not sure how you were able to construct that observation.


There is no minimum wage, but salaries are bargained for via collective agreements. So everywhere but the smallest shops and temporary jobs you get paid a decent wage.


Chris Hughes is right on a lot of things.

But to create a new Federal Agency that can write blank-check laws is not a good idea.

What ever happened to the Schoolhouse rock song "I'm just a bill?" What happened to laws being written through approval of house and congress?

We are pushing for laws to be written by people who do not have the citizen in mind (FCC killed Net Neutrality ring a bell?). Why is it so crazy to expect the House and Congress to do their diligence and vet all laws? Why must we create federal entities to do the heavy lifting for us at the cost of removing representation?


>>I can't touch

Yes you can. If you're actually going to go broke when you're 60, I'd HIGHLY recommend touching at least a bit of that cash at the cost of federal income tax.

Edit: Am not financial advisor


OH, right, yes. I can pay the 30% penalty. I was pointing out how irrational my brain is and the anxiety I feel when 70% of the population is nowhere near where I'm at.

Can you please provide a source for the details?



There is nothing wrong with rejecting software because of the technology it uses.

Think about how important maintenance is. If an organization doesn't have in-house skillset to maintain and enhance software solutions they buy outright, why would they want it?


I agree, though this isn’t what occurred. University IT is wonderous to experience though I am speaking from an experience of just 1. Hopefully your mileage varies.


Exactly. The ability to delete user data should have been something engineered from the ground up. They are paying the penalty of technical debt and hopefully learning some tough lessons.


targeted ads typically bring in 2x or more revenue per impression

Study quotes 2.68x earnings in 2009 but in my experience it’s even higher these days.


Does that mean advertisers pay more for them or that they are actually more effective (or both, or other?)
