I think the reason why Uber and Lyft drivers won't unionize is because there's little incentive for them do do so. Not that many drivers actually drive full-time for a living. A lot of them are just temps. They do some driving on

I wasn't aware Cortana was ever a human name. I find "Jason" hilarious because I have multiple coworkers with that name... I wonder how often they turn their heads whenever someone talks about JSON. Fortunately, where I live,

It's interesting that "Betty" is on the list. I'd always thought it was a nickname for Elizabeth, not a standalone name in its own right.

Funny thing is, I actually got to pick my name as an adult (I'm transgender). I made sure that my new first and middle names were both common for my birth year. Both names were in the top 20, and my middle name was actually #2. I actua

There is an unfortunate tendency for people on HN to think that HN is a representative sample of the population. They assume that the whole world cares about the same things HNers cares about, shares the same hobbies, has the same interest

Chicken Caesar salad is wildly popular in the US, and it's probably far more popular than original-style Caesar salad. I'd even go as far as to say that Caesar salad has become something like pizza, where the assumption is that o

TBH, I love ranch but never eat it on salad. I like using ranch as a dip for nachos. It goes especially well with the chips that the toppings somehow miss, and it still goes pretty well with the chips that are loaded with toppings. I'v

That's not what "white flight" refers to. While the 1940s-1950s move to the suburbs consisted almost entirely of white people due to systematic racial discrimination preventing POC from moving, that is not "white flight&

People make noise. People shouting in the streets, nearby festivals, etc. I don't like people, and there's no such thing as a dense city that doesn't suck for me.

I agree with you, but the name of the bill could provide Amazon with a legal case to try and get the law struck down as a bill of attainder. The bill has good intentions, but Sanders shot himself in the foot with the execution. Of course, t

Sadly, the article glosses over what a mess RSS 2.0 was. There were actually three different, slightly incompatible releases of 2.0. It's not really relevant anymore because so many years have passed, but it used to be that in order to

"Have to" is an awfully loaded phrase. If they don't, who's going to enforce it? "Enforce this, or we'll kick you out." "Well, we are leaving anyway, so uh, fuckity-bye."
