You don't fear their control because you have nothing to hide. Then one day you want to speak up against them, but you don't because they control your money. So you never cross them. But one day, they seek you out and order you to do something. You have to comply because they own you.

If you control your money, it's your money. If they control the money, it's their money -- you only have it as long as they let you.


The poster did not mention ideology or nationalism. Please don't pretend to misinterpret.


One of the HN community standards is not to presume malintent.


Of course the comment was dripping with it. What else is an internet one-liner like that about? Let's not ignore the obvious.


First word of the article: RACISM.

I wonder how much these causes are for worker's rights vs some politician trying to win a popularity contest by bashing these "evil tech foreign giants".

But I know nothing about pre-Uber Italian taxi regulations.


The guardian is constantly negative. It's like their job is to attack and discredit people and institutions they don't like. Often based on insinuations or flimsy or no evidence.

More knowledge and less lobbying please.


Browning, unless we're talking about burning onions, is caramelisation. Just a small amount.


> Browning, unless we’re talking about burning onions, is caramelisation

No, its not. Heck, even “caramelizing” onions mostly isn’t caramelization, its Maillard-reaction browning combined with slower cooking so that the cooking is more complete, retaining less of the firm texture.

If we just want them to change color we can do that a whole lot faster than 10 minutes. But you wouldn't like the taste. :)


Sure but they get brown in a tasty way in ten minutes.
