I for one, appreciate this perspective. Thank you for sharing.

In my experience, when it comes to market ideology and taxes, people don't argue from empathy, they argue from the pocketbook. In this case, they're arguing from _someone else's_ pocketbook. And it's not the dairy farmer

I think we could do a better job opening markets to products that we don't have here, like cheeses from around the world. I do hate when people use others as pawns in their arguments though. Are you a single mother unable to afford mil

Interesting insight. But saying "all games are clones," and using that as justification to take an indie studio's idea doesn't come across very well. Yes, a lot of the games but studio's churn out are all very simil

There are a lot of companies on this list who list homework. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a selling point or not, maybe for some candidates. At PlanGrid, we basically stopped giving homework because it wasn't respecting

Except that's not how software works anymore. Everything is moving to long-term SaaS and subscription. Production never ends until the lights turn off.

Maybe i'm in an a/b pool, but uber charges me if I make them wait longer than 2 minutes. So yes, they are being paid. And even so, it wouldn't be so much of a concern if uber just paid drivers fairly.

if someone offered me 'contractor-under-evaluation' employment, I'd likely laugh in their face. in the US (where I work) or in the NL (where you work), my employment is contingent on a visa, which is just way too much effort

My understanding is that the headphone jack actually occupies a lot of space. If you have opened up a phone before, it is evident that all internal space is _very_ well accounted for, so removing a headphone jack is actually a very tangible

FWIW, it took me a year and a half to establish a friendgroup in SF, and I didn't find it by meetsups or recreation, just by pure happenchance of finding someone who WILL reply to your texts, and welcome you into their friendgroup. I a

this is simply not true. give.org provides charity information. WV spends just 4% on administrative costs... https://www.give.org/charity-reviews/national/veterans-and-m...

The non-rent controlled places are newer/nicer.

That's a zoning issue, not rent control.

by MAGZine 8y ago
Rent control, at least in San Francisco, applies to buildings/units of a certain type. It is not given to people or applied for. You get it automatically if you live in a unit that qualifies. So it is a right for all... just live in a

In San Francisco, this problem was "solved," by not subjecting new development to rent control.

iPhones already don't get full updates. They get progressively trimmed updates as time goes on. Stock android does a similar thing. If you get a Pixel, you get 2 years of OS updates (my Pixel from 2016 is running the latest Android), a

the original pixel is 0.2milimeters taller, 2 years older, and has a USB-C port. I was talking with an apple hardware engineer... I'm told that the jack is in some ways a limiting factor, though I'd happily take an extra .2mm of d

i also spent some time in vancouver. amazon has pulled up salaries across the area since expanding there a couple years ago.

by MAGZine 8y ago
your salary numbers seem a little off, and, at least in sf rent numbers are not the same. compare new 1bdrm apts between sf and yvr and you'll see. amazon/microsoft just regularly employs people in YVR, not just for L1 purposes. t

FWIW when in traffic I always try to maintain enough distance ahead of me that I do not have to ever stop completely, and that I can also hopefully not use the brake. I swear I've watched traffic clear up around me. Of course it's

People stopped harvesting redwoods because iirc not only are they protected but they're not a good source of lumber because when you fell redwoods, they shatter unless if you're careful.

Perhaps they would not sell it to you, because the entire line of cells were defective, and they did not want to burn your house down with a defective battery.

at least in newer developments, my understanding is most underground channels (think sewers) generally provide some facility for running new lines/equipment in them, to reduce the number of times that city streets need to be dug up to

The coincidence is not a surprise. Vint Cerf was also the "prototype" for The Architect in Matrix, and probably it wouldn't shock me if he played another very similar role in other movies, too.

So then what's worse--not using the service because you don't want to tip, or using the service and not tipping?

In Saskatchewan, Canada, they no longer require yearly insurance stickers on plates because the information is automatically checked by plate scanners on cop cars (to the best of my knowledge). The officer will still require proof of regist

Is this a troll? How do you intend to determine whether or not if someone is of an orientation EXCEPT for asking them? "I'm gay." "Well my 'science test' says that you're not." Nice.

Even if you follow your senator's logic, you only need to compare current telcos to Ma Bell and draw some comparisons in order to toss out the idea that the regulatory framework is inappropriate.
