I'd like to clarify the use of the word "Stealing". It appears that Lewandowski _stole_ technical documentation and engineering work done around LiDAR. Google did not steal code, technical docs, or any engineering material.

The war on drugs is reducing the amount of labor available. If we follow the principles of supply and demand-- if Business Owners wants to pay employees less, then they want _more_ people to be available to work, and they also want those pe

I think that's silly of you to do. The article has a legitimate point, especially since so many people misunderstand why Snapchat is used.

It might be a submarine or PR firm action, but it might also simply be that they're a billion dollar company that just had an IPO, so articles about them are simply timely. I don't really put much merit into journalists saying som

I was in a long-distance relationship last summer, and Snapchat definitely helped us. Not even from the sexting angle of it-- Just seeing someone's face, or seeing what someone else is seeing, makes you feel far more connected than pla

If we're on the hook for paying for their health coverage, then being authoritarian about what people can consume starts to make a lot of sense.

What's the difference? Please elaborate. As I see it, there are only a few citizens who benefitted-- those involved in the ownership of taxi companies & medallions.

There will also be a bit of a taboo around talking about money, but this site (indiehackers) make it a point of talking about numbers. It's great information, and we should be trying to tear that taboo down.

Man. On one hand, I like the idea of loans and leases, to help people who can't currently buy something get something they want. It gives greater access to products, which seems like a good thing. On the otherhand, it seems like people

As far as I understood, the UI is there to stay. The creator wrote his own game engine that is optimized for printing ascii to a screen-- it's not architected in a way that can plug-and-play with a different renderer.

Taxi medallion regulations and others were not put in place for reasonable reasons. They were put in for crony "government-granted-monopoly" reasons. They maybe "flouting" laws, but they still follow taxi laws, in that t
