I don't see anything wrong with it. Honestly it is your post that sounds off to me. You're implying that somehow Human Interest is discriminating against people with Asperger's but there's nothing in their post that says that.

In TFA, "slow morning" doesn't mean waking up late. It means waking up early but taking your time before starting work. If you're a night owl you're probably not doing slow mornings.

Forced? That sounds a bit too 1984-ish. I believe in a more Brave New World future, where people will pay good money to get chipped and the only "natties" (unchipped people) will be people who either cannot afford it, or "wackos".

What do you mean by "actually reflecting the world"? If you mean using objective criteria of some sort, how would that help deciding if the week starts on Sunday or Monday, or what days of the week are to be business days?

No one. That's the joke.

It's clickbaity as hell.

If anything, I wish it was more "negative" about India; instead of talking about why people take part in lynchings and why they are so common in the country, the blame goes to WhatsApp, which "has been getting Indians killed". It's as if the actual killers had no agency.

Same thing about the anti-vaccination groups in Brazil: as a Brazilian citizen my concern is that those groups exist at all and are affecting public health, not what app they happen to use.

In a surprising turn of events, the user showed they did care.

Just by the title I knew it had to be a Matt Levine story.

Where I live permanent employees are protected, so the probability of being legally fired for disclosing my salary is 0, and the probability of illegally being fired should be very close to 0. However, the probability of my salary going up is also very close to 0. In fact, the probability of my salary decreasing is arguably higher than the probability of my salary increasing, since bonuses vary and are decided semi-arbitrarily. :-)

In any case I know a much more effective way to increase my salary: getting a green card and moving to the US. The flipside is that my American wife would have a hard time finding a good job in her field in the US.

Not obvious to me at all. Weed is already legal in several states in the US; weed use is far from taboo on HN; you have FU money. So why the throwaway? (Of course you have right to your privacy, I just wonder what are the "obvious" reasons ...)

AFAIK such cards make money primarily on breakage, i.e., points that people buy but do not use.
