If your points are true, then all that really means is that there is a structural, economic incentive to not be structured as a platform and that the old model, of having cab companies with drivers who are employed by that company, is the m

I'm not surprised. Uber and Lyft try co classify their workers as contractors when it comes to taxes and benefits, yet undermine workers abilities to actually be independent contractors when it suits them to do so. If you want to be a

They absolutely do. And they might release very good information along with a carefully planted piece of terrible advice. So you might see a tutorial about how to send drugs through the mail that is 99% good advice, and one piece of intenti

I've always stood by the principle that a computer should never "correct" human input without asking and this is a great example of that. There should be a prompt asking if you want to convert the data, and there should alway

I don't buy this. We had an old cable box that had instantaneous channel-switching. The cable company made us switch to a brand new one. Same signal coming in, but the new one was infinitely slower. It wasn't some change in the si

I'm sorry, but "we're merely acting as bad as the Chinese government here" does not seem like a very convincing argument.

I think the more important word there is "swarming" and, no, the word "swarm" does not automatically imply animals as the word is used in other contexts, too.

I know I'm old because I immediately thought back to how in my day, my parents complained that kids got bored after 45 minutes or so. If you don't have the patience to watch a short YouTube video, then that's really a persona

I watched that immediately after buying a portable air conditioner. Thankfully, too, because I think he oversells the inefficiency and effectiveness of portable air conditioners. It's very easy to leave that video thinking you shouldn&

My point was of course they're going to go with one interpretation. I myself can't figure out what the hell he actually meant to say.

I went back and read the original interview and I still don't know what he was actually trying to say. He stressed that artists need continuous engagement with their community and the old business model didn't work anymore. But I

Cryptocurrency enables people to make anonymous monetary transactions. Also, so does cash. Drug dealers and criminals still very much prefer cash. Is it wrong to work with certain traditional finance companies because of their association w

I find it ironic that he should criticize Plantir and Facebook for creating a surveillance state, yet also crypto for allowing anonymous monetary transactions.

There is most definitely some kind of porn site white-label thing going on.

Can we all just take a step back and appreciate what a techno-dystopia we're living in that this is now a headline no one bats an eye about?

If you could return search results that actually contain the keywords I entered and not waste 5 minutes of my time returning irrelevant results because you only found 3 relevant results (you know, the ones I was actually looking for) to pad

I knew a gynecologist named Dr. Hole. To be fair there are at least three ironic specialties he could have gone into.

It looks super unbalanced to me. Letters have different visual weights at different parts for seemingly no reason at all.

It's not so much a government agency as it is a public corporation. In the days when the postal service was founded, large corporations were rare enough that they had to be created and initially funded by the government. Now we have fi

I'm not sure I'd want my customers to associate my product with a "foul-smelling liquid."

I remember at a certain point I realized that the citations on cracked.com were often abused or flat out debunked the very thing the author claimed they did. I hadn't given up on the site yet, so I would post in the comments what the c

That sounds like the exact same personality issue, but with the added flaw that they're too smart even for those Mensa plebs.

I think you're the one ignoring the article as written, latching onto the initial skepticism she had and ignoring the whole bulk of the rest of the article. Your own quote showed that, that that they were sucked in. It also does not sa

I read the beginning, went "what the fuck is this guy on about? Get to the point" and then came to check the comments to if this was anything interesting or worth reading, saw your comment, and skimmed the end bit. Overall I'

The article states quite clearly, multiple times, in multiple different ways that she encouraged and bought into this nonsense. So you have somebody who is told by their doctor they have a 50% chance to live and they, of course, turn to the

That's right, I recall something like that. I think states administer their own unemployment system even though it's mandated by the federal government. It's a payroll tax where I live. It's calculated based on your wage

That's absurd. They take it out of your paycheck every month, it's paid entirely from employee wages, it can't be spent on anything but unemployment, and you get benefits proportional to what you contributed. It's litera
