Sure. I did try to qualify my statement saying I was basing my argument on US law. French law is whatever a French court decides it is. But I do think that riding-app drivers are, as a matter of opinion, much more like hiring someone to pai

Counterpoint (from the basis of what I know from how the US, not France, classifies independent contractors): 1. Uber drivers also drive for Lyft and other services 2. They can reject a passenger when the call comes in 3. They bring their o

Ha! I can safely say that companies do not, in general, learn their lesson until it becomes an existential threat.

This seemed like an interesting concept, but the list of examples was underwhelming. It can be boiled down to "problems that can be mitigated, but not solved." Which is just kind of a dull thing to name. Given the description, it

I'm not convinced the 3D map isn't the most illustrative and compelling graph of them all. It says way more than the sprinkle of hard-to-parse dots does.

I looked it up and they date back to the 1960s on reel-to-reel tape recorders. The pause button was added later when companies found that they couldn't properly translate the word pause into every language. The idea is that the two bar

If I could lodge a complaint to all the UI designers: please stop making all the icons look the same in order for them to have the same "style." If I'm looking at a grid of essentially identical white-on-black pictograms with

Psychologically it's hard to see the victim, so people don't count it. It's a terrible thing about human nature, but it is what it is. The person you're replying to will never see themselves on the same level as someone

So there's a story about a volcano and there happens to be an old volcanic formation nearby, therefor the story depicts an actual event an implausibly long time ago. I find this as believable as Noah's Ark because there was a big

Yakuza Zero as a counter-example. I think the problem with Spore is that it lacked depth, lacked the breadth of even contemporary RPGs or open-world games, and attempted to appeal to a mass audience by focusing on the wrong things. Minigame

There are problems where we know how difficult the problem is. These problems, you can just throw money at them to make them work and the skill is in figuring out how to do it cheaply. There are other problems where we don't even know

I'm amazed at how many people speak nonsense with seeming authority, with bad or unread or irrelevant sources and credentials that are either fake or maybe just don't mean much. Yahoo Answers was clearly just random people answeri

Division doesn't count because (1/2)/3 = 1/6, but 1/(2/3) = 3/2. And subtraction doesn't count because 0-(1-2) != (0-1)-2.

Pol Pots vision was pretty dark, though, and the horror rather immediate. His ideology was extreme for communist standards well before he got into power.

A monoid is when you have some data and an operation that's sort of like addition. Addition on numbers is sort of like addition, so that counts. Addition on vectors counts. Multipication is a bit like addition, and multiplying numbers

With platformers, if you want satisfying physics, you have to turn up the gravitational constant way up, increase the force of everything even more, then add artificial hangtime to jumps. Which is nothing to say of being able to change dire
