Controversial, but for affordability reasons, there even should be a cap on how many homes an individual can own for rentals. For the sanity in the housing market, members of society need to be driven to participate in other business activities for income/revenue, not rentals.

Meta and ethical practice can’t be in one sentence.

low quality stuff manufacturing should be banned or limited to a low quantity. It's bad for the climate and environment on multiple folds.

Certainly it's a parody. VPs won't go tweeting about compensation of the individuals.
volume customers always get special price.
Not a big amount though for city governments. They do tend to overspend anyways on building such facilities.

This is a salary that's fairly achievable in developing world countries. The developing world has come far.
good point, assets aren't infinite.
Just curious how this can be enforced when there are conflicts. In the US, how can it be proven someone belongs to specific caste.
why is this on HN frontpage?

EDIT - I only mean to say that Google showing this animation is mildly interesting, but there other are far more interesting stories.

Additionally, companies doing common pool hiring are worsening the situation even further. One bad interview day or one failure to solve complex riddle means that you're not good for any teams within that company until cool-off time passes which is typically from 6 months to 1 year. The system of cool-off period is equally brutal.

Do not ignore cultural differences. If you see such an activity as a job, then you would arrive at a conclusion like yours.

In India, it's common for hosts to serve food as a sign of respect to their guests. Close friends and family of hosts also join. This only showed the closeness of the relationships among Mukesh and other stars. Seeing it as a subservient act isn't accurate, no big star would sign up if it were so.

Society in India has been getting more progressive over the years. Compare any decade with previous decade and see the difference. It's a trait and gift of democracy, people with access to information adapt themselves to be compatible with modern ideas. There'll always be two sides like in any other countries, but balance is easily achievable.

It'll put startups at disadvantage. Very hard to compare equity compensation with liquid compensation big companies offer.
But, doesn't this contradict the spirit of free markets?
Like the advise on investment products - past performance is not an indicator for future returns.

Re:Amazon Raises Annual Prime Price 20% to $119 on Thursday April 26, 2018 @10:25PM (#16938018)
My main reason for shopping from Amazon is that I do not want to sign up separately on many retailer's websites. E.g. target, best buy, Walmart, ...

If there is a single sign-on option which provides good enough data safety & privacy, lot of my shopping will move away from Amazon to this virtual YC 2019 company.
