If I were Apple, I'd try to arbitrage these exploits by getting somebody on the inside to find out where the attack vectors are. I blame the companies for being exploitable.

You could technically buy real shares and sell synthetic shares on the blockchain, harvesting the price difference.

This would generally have the same effect as the blockchain user buying the stock directly, but through an intermediary collecting premium.

The parents choose where to spend the voucher.

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.

The idea is that schools would compete for as many vouchers as they could, meaning they'd be willing to send buses out to your area, or find other ways to accommodate the parents with before school programs, ect.

I like the school voucher idea a lot.

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.

If you think about it, this kind of culture actually hurts minorities because an employer will think twice about hiring them in the first place.

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.

I would rather have a work environment with crazy conspiracy nuts than orthodox SJW purists.

> I believe it should - otherwise we are in a capitalist dystopia

Should we tax the automobile for displacing the horse stableman.

I think this whole thing is a great example of why you don't ban alternative viewpoints, even if considered "conspiracy theories".

Zerohedge was reporting this early on, and Twitter banned them for "misinformation".

"Pay your fair share".

I cringe every time I hear this from people.

Rich people pay WAY more than what they get back from the gov.

Honestly, I hope San Fran dissolves into the rest of the country.

The mono-culture bubble in silicon valley is nauseating.

Employees forget that they sell their labor. Sell your labor to the highest bidder.

There needs to be "content as a protocol" in the same way email is.

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.

This is only a short term issue. ETH is currently transitioning to proof of stake with ETH 2.0

I've learned to just avoid people that get caught up on such petty semantics.

Language is a way of conveying meaning.

Hyper focusing on the words being used, diminishes time spent on the transaction of mind.

The medium of exchange has transitioned from smaller local groups to larger groups. It's like a group of people all screaming in a room trying to talk over one another. The only voices that stand out are the most outrageous ones. Large group forums have less depth. You can see this on websites like Reddit, where the most popular subreddits are reactionary and shallow, while smaller ones have more depth, ideas, and conversation.

The underlying principle here is competition.

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.

Unions originated as a way to commoditise labor. It has since grown into a way to keep out freelance competitors, and to force employers into doing things (both of which I don't agree with). In terms of commoditsing labor, tech is a very skill specific profession with no cookie cutter employee to sell, which makes it a bad candidate for unions.
