In response ot the inspected meters. You can see a fare estimate on the app before you even call in an uber. I think if they were able to do pickups, the driver's phone could easily display some sort of meter for riders, and even do p

"Small amounts" is certainly a very relative term given that the serving size can be arbitrarily small to misrepresent the amount of trans fat actually present as 0 grams. For example, say I'm selling a product with the ingre

I agree with the dislike for these types of reversals, and I also agree that fields prone to these types of 'discoveries' might be better classified as something else. Although I think the reality is that (at least with dietary

I still go to stores and see products proudly labeled with 0 grams of trans fat that actually contain trans fat after consulting the ingredients list. This did not stop years ago.

Oh I agree that would definitely have a good effect for increasing knowledge of what one is actually consuming, but I think uncertainty comes into play at some point. In any event I don't think that banning trans fat was the only way t

It's already required for them to label it, but there's several problems with that solution that we've been dealing with since that was mandated. For one, if you have less than 0.5 grams per serving in your product you can la

Thank goodness. This will finally put an end to companies including trans fat in their products but labeling 0 grams of trans fat due to serving size and other stupid tricks. I think consumers as a whole can get over pie crust not feeling

At least keep the colors choice as an option if you do change it in any way! I am using it exactly as you said, to group like goals. Edit: Plus it adds a little fun to it and makes it feel more personalized imo.

It's also possible that the family could pay for a data plan for their kid to use but don't do it because they don't believe their middle school kid needs a data plan. Another possibility the users could have a data plan but

Not necessarily disagreeing with your core point, but your point about needing experts of all types in the world would be better served without a type of expert outright.

Are you suggesting to make your dietary plans around something that will end in nutritional deficiency in some number of years? That doesn't sound like a good plan to me, not to mention the cost of doing something like soylent instead

Probably because seat belts are ubiquitous and the cost of wearing one is practically nil. When the preventative measures are that easy, so is the jump to victim blaming. I'm not saying whether this is right one way or another, but t

Anecdotal, but still relevant. They have typically ended up more expensive than most games for me due to the time it takes for the price to drop down to the same level as a lot of other games, even during steam sales. Even without a price

I think he was not saying a physical connection was necessary, only that a physical button on the key fob was necessary to start the car. Still wireless, it just requires interaction from the driver who must physically have the key fob.

It's definitely that in part, I would have to agree with you. This generation of gamer grew up with the relatively easy ability to pirate games instead of pay for them and steam sales on PC. So there is some resistance to paying for

That's a bit of an oversimplification that I'd like to point out. Math proofs are certainly more rigorous and physics does rely on a bit more of an intuitive property in some ways, but that doesn't mean that intuition is the
