   I just installed it. It identifies many of my recent robocalls as spam. Thanks! It also allows me to block numbers from my sim area code. This is where most spam calls spoof to be coming from. When I recently called T-mobile to ask for them

   Well.. the Great Depression comes to mind. Going out is expensive. The middle class has less disposable income now. I am not middle class (because I am a web developer) but though I can afford to go out, I don't go out that often. I pr

   When costs and prices are hidden, competition cannot happen and the market stops working.

   Something should be done about this. These companies have a criminal monopoly by forcing out their competitors. If you have ever ran a small business and seen the obscene amounts these companies make; you would be outraged too.

   There are serious consumer protection issues that need to be addressed. Laws establish individuals rights and individual freedoms. We need some good well-written laws by people who know what they are talking about.

    I almost exclusively use my Google Voice number and its remarkable how good it is at filtering spam-calls. I want to tell everyone to get Google Voice.. but given their history of killing successful projects. Well, its only a matter of time

    I hope Bezos sinks them. It makes me wonder how many other people in the public eye have been blackmailed like this. Kudos to Bezos for standing up to these scum.

    The former administration agreed and made efforts in this direction including publishing code on Drupal.org: https://www.drupal.org/u/whitehouse On a sidenote, apparently the new administration scrapped it for a brochu

    All of the these countries have universal healthcare and stronger better labor laws. I have spent a lot of time in Canada. They have generous social programs and Unions there are doing very well. The United States puts American workers at a

    Note that Bernie Sanders has a similar position on this issue.

    As a self-employed software developer, the CHEAPEST healthcare plan for my family is $1030/month ($10k deductible). You are referring to a benefit you get from your salaried position. Nice but many developers do not have this luxury.

    Lots of parts of Portland do not have sidewalks. Luckily, for now, there is not enough traffic for it to be dangerous.

    I have lived exclusively in the Western Coastal states and 100% of the cities I have lived in do not have consistent sidewalk coverage. For example: Seattle, Sacramento, Olympia, Portland and especially other rural cities I have lived in. A

    Perhaps to listen in on your voice conversations and serve you ads so relevant its creepy? From a software standpoint, this has never been proven. However, its super weird when it happens to you. For example, I traveled to meet a coworker w

    I agree on some points here around "diversity of thought". I like the example of how a panel made up of all the same minority, is in fact, 100% NOT diverse. But let's not confuse that issue that being an obvious minority puts

    All the coworking spaces I have worked from were about 50/50. This seems like a non-issue. Women excel in some areas and men excel in others. Regardless, coworkering is very cooed, in my experience. I don't get it. Edit: after rer

    Preexisting conditions are still a thing if you cannot afford normal health insurance because you are self-employed and have to scrape by on short-term health insurance. It sucks.

    Airbnb needs to start greasing pockets like the hotel industry or its only going to get worse. So far, the aggression of the hotel industry against Airbnb been (mostly) out the public eye. We will see what direction this goes.
