I don't think beer could be called low calorie. There's probably no higher calorie way to get drunk.

So why do these employees not bid on the business and make it a co-op?

Is it wrong ? No. But it's probably not good for society or even the kids, honestly. I struggle with how I'm going to be able to keep my kids grounded and motivated given the advantages they'll have in life. If I could chang

Indeed. Many kids aspire to join the NBA. That's a kind of art, isn't it? Yet I think society collapses if we let every one of these kids off from contributing to sustaining it. At least until the robots and AI take the wheel.

No, you are missing the point of this comment thread, which is that this Billy has no more right to live this dream than Billy from Orlando.

Tax prep is absolutely the scariest thing I do online (rivaled only by proving that I am qualified for a mortgage, but luckily that only happens infrequently). The amount of sensitive data you share with a company with minimal tech expertis

Charitably I think it exists because VCs assume that economies of scale are more profitable and there is a difficult scaling problem here (connecting N customers to M service providers where N vacillates wildly based on time of week, weathe

Isn't making a profit everyone's business model? You can go volunteer at a soup kitchen if you just want to fill stomachs out of the kindness of your heart. I don't think food delivery is a solved problem. It could get a lot

I mean, you should care about their profit margins if you like food delivery. As it stands they're on the verge of bankruptcy.

Google isn't redirecting DNS lookups. Google is much closer to the yellow pages, which if you hadn't noticed is full of both paid and unpaid content.

Jkl corp doesn't have to buy ads. Users will still be able to find it via Google. I challenge you to find a company for which its site is not discoverable via Google search. If users who really want to go to jkl corp actually can'

I mean if your site is trying to deceive visitors then sure. If I search for Nike and I get an ad for N1ke.com then yeah that's bad. But if I search for Nike and I see an ad for Adidas and I proceed to buy Adidas shoes then I guess I d

Google Chrome and vanilla Chromium have little to distinguish them outside of branding. The difference is not one of repositories but of build flags. Suggesting Lynx as an alternative clarifies that your remarks are unserious, or you are ou

I feel like it would be pretty easy to artificially limit cars to 75mph. Also I drove a car that took 15 seconds to get to 60 throughout high school and it was fine. Wearing a motorcycle helmet inside a car does nothing for pedestrians, cyc

How many cups of coffee does it take to od on caffeine? I'm going to go out on a limb and say cannabis + driving kills more people per year than caffeine (via overdose or whatever). Therefore cannabis is more dangerous.

This article isn't about building ads into chrome or any other browser. It's about technology that's replacing third party cookies for enabling targeted advertising. IOW it won't change the effectiveness of your ad block

I don't really care what the answer is, I just decided to do a tiny bit of my own research to determine whether this confident sounding stranger was right or just sounded right.

If you define adtech as anything that's paid for by ads then the entire web is adtech aside from the 1% that's subscription based.

Is there a reason to use brave besides being a contrarian? Why do you trust brave? They've had their own share of controversies. And it's still a chromium browser. Sure they could disable evil feature X, if you trust them to decid

What is the alternative? Apple is the only other major investor in a web browser and frankly they have little interest in making any sort of progress on the web. The web would have been dead already if not for Google.

Having read the article, I'm guessing you're meant to fingerprint your visitors and then exploit their identity somehow. That's what counts as "breaking" the API.

Thanks for the link. Instructed by the federal government not to comply seems quite a bit different than what gp is implying. Why would legislators bother considering the full implications of their bills?

To discover simply means to find. If I'm playing hide and seek, and my location is uncovered, I might cry out "you found me!" This is not to deny that I existed or knew of my own whereabouts prior to being located. To say tha
