Why should corporations pay even more tax? They're paying salaries, which are subject to income tax, and stock gains are also taxed when sold. Also, any sales they generate are subject to VAT/sales tax. Not to mention property taxes for their offices, etc.

How do corporate boots taste there, bud?

I'm not even from the US but I still know that a ~two million dollar home in Manhattan is far from "unnecessarily luxurious". That's just a basic if large apartment.

The article headline literally says "luxury condo".

I would prefer a world in which we didn't call some people griping on twitter "news".

Two popular HN pieces have recently touched on how journalists and newspapers give twitter too much weight:

All I'm seeing in this article is a few people trying to get that dopamine rush of engagement by dunking on "landlords" (not that all AirBnB hosts are landlords, some are just folks renting an extra room out), and sfgate happily obliging them.

"some are just folks renting an extra room out"

That's a landlord.

mdszy commented on AMD Announces Ryzen Threadripper Pro: Workstation Parts for OEMs Only anandtech.com/show/15910/... · Posted by u/pulse7

AMD, we're getting to the point of too many different product lines. I don't think that TR Pro adds anything that couldn't have already fit into regular Ryzen, Ryzen TR, or Epyc. Just for reference, we have:

- Ryzen 3, 5, 7 which was fine

- Ryzen Threadripper because for some reason we couldn't just call it Ryzen with a bigger number (maybe they anticipated needing the 9 later)

- Epyc for servers that supports ECC memory

- Now we have Ryzen 9 because Intel made Core i9 (I guess this makes sense for people comparison shopping)

- Now we also have Threadripper Pro just because we can, not even as a response to Intel

Epyc is the only distinction that needs to be made IMHO. The rest should just be Ryzen 3,5,7,9,11,13... for desktop parts. It's fine if Ryzen 11 and 13 had different sockets (like TR does). I don't need TR and I don't need TR Pro to denote product lines alongside the numbering scheme.

I know this is a minor issue, but it shouldn't be that hard. Yeah, yeah, "there are only two hard problems in computer science..." But look at the crap that consumers have to deal with around USB naming and WiFi naming. Don't make CPU naming follow the same trend.

"AMD, we're getting to the point of too many different product lines."

I legitimately do not understand writing your post directly addressing AMD as if they're actually listening to you.

"Some number of successful people were assholes, therefore in order to be successful you should be an asshole."

I cannot fathom how this logic even works.
