How do you split a check at a restaurant with a group?

Nope, it's an everyone young people under 25 (or so) thing. The payments holy trinity is Venmo, Tab, and Splitwise. Tab is for splitting specific checks with easy itemization and multi-person selection + easy tip calculations, connects

Other scenario: Waymo will beat out Uber no matter if slowed, so any deaths stopped by stopping Uber is better. In order for yours to be true, we have to believe that Uber is contributing to the future of self-driving tech. I think they wil

Not very convincing though - genuine neutral party here without a fully formed opinion and I see no reason that's absurd. If self-driving cars (or brand X of them) are killing people at higher rates per mile, that's not good. I do

If the edit was because of downvotes, no downvotes here, but all I'm saying is I think software has nothing to do with programmers being assholes. If you can be a mean person because of a tool you use, no matter how badly or sadistical

I'd argue that most programmers are assholes for reasons far beyond software being terrible, and are unhappy for those other reasons, which is a much bigger conversation. The only reason I bring it up is that developers using software

Agreed. Facebook has a ton of engineers sitting around (not designers, engineers). Only so many can data mine and work on advertising, so some portion of them will look around and decide "what if we just add in random feature x from ot

I never made that argument though. My original post was simply stating that there are regulations that can cost more to the companies than it saves consumers that are still good. A simple "is this profitable to the company" test i

Again, improper use of an idea for justification of other ideas does not invalidate the original idea. I'm not siding with those cases, which, pending details, all seem like improper ways of dealing with intolerance.

Agreed. I think the solution is to really pluck at those grey areas, as of course it's easy to work in black and white. To generalize, I think the general best course is to first understand why the intolerance exists, its validity, and

by adjkant 9y ago
Not tolerating intolerance is not a license to be horrible to other people. I suspect this is a bad application of the philosophical idea, as with just about every other idea once it hits practical use. The challenge is synthesizing the ide

This is not the case at pretty much every co-op school I know of, including my own. Usually the programs utilize summer breaks and take 5 years, though you can often do 2 co-ops in 4 years or the like.
