It's okay to call her "she", you know. "They" is a little... odd, when referring to a person.

Just what we need: baby boomers who never die.

Nah, they deserved this disclosure and proof of concept today.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been blocking ads the whole time.

No excuse. It's the middle of January now, the holidays are long over, and they're one of the biggest companies on the planet. They had plenty of time to respond.

What an absolutely TERRIBLE new name. Why do they think this is a good idea?

He was trolling. Look at all the hyperbolic nonsense in his comment.

Contrast that with this utterly terrible FT article (login required, but you can search for the title on Google and bypass it): https://www.ft.com/content/b5d66ed8-d1b3-11e6-b06b-680c49b4b...

Not exactly a surprise. There's not much of a market for long-winded hot-takes from internet nobodies.

And as usual, piracy wins.

I'm using it now precisely because of the cost to advertisers. They can all get fucked.

> The end game is a company with self driving cars, having SIGNIFICANTLY less overhead than they currently do with human drivers. And, probably a ton of technology patents to boot? This is never going to happen. This is a pipe dream. S

> right now they're choosing to keep prices very low in order to undercut Lyft and the cab companies with the assumption that having a monopoly will return more profits in the future. So they're even shittier and greedier than

Hopefully this means they won't be around for much longer. I will not miss them when they're gone.

I'm sure, in the entire history of taxis, it's probably happened. But I don't hate taxi services; I hate Uber and its "who gives a crap" attitude.

As if I needed another reason to despise Uber. It seems they don't bother to screen for psychopaths.

This is essentially an act of war. Does the US have the courage to actually do anything about it, or do we just let Russia decide who our next President is?

This is exactly what I do as well. Well, when I'm not getting the AD admins to let me reset my password directly from the admin console.

No one I know uses Siri, by the way. I've literally never heard anyone in the office ask Siri a question. Never heard it in public, either. It's not really a thing outside of the tech bubble, I reckon. I'm positive most pe

They also have, as far as I'm aware, a pretty lousy battery life. They simply cannot be left in the ear all day; they'll need to be charged a couple times during the day.

Forced periodic password change has got to be near the top of the list in terms of the dumbest things the IT world has blindly gone along with in the past decade. Glad NIST finally agrees with me on this.

Literally no one made that assertion. You are deliberately going out of your way to be offended by making things up to be angry about. And frankly, if that's how you live life, you deserve to be miserable.

Did I need another reason to loathe Uber? No, but reasons keep showing up.

What a terrible decision that was. Glad it was reversed. It never would've worked.

Agreed. BBT is a terrible show with mostly cringe-worthy humour.

The big takeaway here for me is that a lot of people travel far too great a distance to get to what's most likely a terrible job.

Wow. Add The Atlantic to the growing list of sites I'll never visit anymore, thanks to what must be the world's most obnoxious ad-begging landing/redirect page I've seen in my entire life. Totally objectionable.

Jesus. What the hell was even the point of your comment?

We requested paper forms long before census night, because we were pretty sure this was going to happen. Didn't put our names or any other personally identifying info on them, either. (Never received a fine.)
