Spotify would have to pay artists for the right to recommend songs to users, then send those users to the artists site for purchase to be comparable. That would be a terrible business model though. Maybe the French newspapers should join to

I’m curious what a proposed solution is? USCIS is funded by service fees, and social media analysis started under Obama with support across the aisle. Raising fees to pay for better translation services is one way I suppose.

The Atlantic is on the left, and has a good reputation for factual and thoughtful reporting. I’d call them classically liberal. I see the bias as support of free speech, an ideal once strongly held by both the left and right but waning late

How is this different than the US requiring passport surrender of a citizen charged with a crime along with their father? The US doesn’t let dual citizens just fly away when charged, why should China?

I noted elsewhere, but for me it’s super common with Lyft and super rare with Uber.

Lyft is the worst about this, I assumed Uber penalizes them because i can’t recall it happening in the past 6 months with them, but I’ll get back to back Lyft call & cancels.

The whole thread was about the NSA's budget and mission, so I misunderstood your point. It appears you have no specific qualms with the NSA other than the fact they exist under the same government as the FBI/CIA?

Any other bank can debit your checking account, but they become responsible for refunding in the case fraud/error. Since no access card (atm card, pin, etc) was used, customers have $0 liability for the same 60 days as you do. This is

Every single business uses the roads or benefits from them, and we pay for them mostly through gas/diesel tax, tolls, property taxes, and vehicle registration fees. You aren’t subsidizing Uber/Lyft just by letting them use the roa

It will be an interesting case study for sure. I think we can expect fewer drivers, mandatory time slots, and capped 40 hour weeks. Prices should go up to cover all of it, and both Uber/Lyft are cheeky enough to separate that line item

Dual SIM is amazing for travel, and the only reason I upgraded to the Xs last year. I put Verizon on the eSIM and then use prepaid/travel SIMs in the physical port.

I'm curious how you picture the scenarios in which humanity doesn’t survive even +10F average over the next 200 years? Let’s also say a population of several billion. I see the sentiment often, even in journalism, and I don’t see a rea

We shouldn’t burn the Amazon down, but the amount of effort we should expend in trying to prevent that is absolutely important, and articles like this help shape the assignment of resources. Fighting climate change requires using limited re

The title initially appeared to be clickbait, but as soon as I saw it was The Atlantic I knew it was going to be a serious reply. The title is a direct reference to all the meme journalism happening recently.

I agree they simplified payments, but I don't see how they improved this product over PayPal. Both decide almost instantly and don't require a bunch of documentation. Probably hard to improve on that process, but it does look like

This does seem to be exactly like PayPal Working Capital, down to the application and fee structure.

If your feed is like mine, 90% of those shared posts, political memes, and other garbage are coming from 10% of your friends. I mostly ignore or just snooze those people and end up with a feed of pretty positive life stories.

I believe her manager's comments came after she received the news, and she was requesting a deeper explanation. At that point sugar coating is less necessary, if they are asking for genuine feedback you should give it to them. The way

SpaceX playing chicken with cheap disposable Starlinks against multibillion euro public satellites does make space dangerous.

Have they stated anywhere they lost control of their satellite, that it was inert? It was under power and reportedly performing a test maneuver. If they didn’t have control over it they could have easily stated as such to ESA and avoided an

Domain squatting is taking an unused domain and leaving it unused. Google isn’t domain squatting google.com, just like ESA wasn’t orbit squatting. Assigning value is also necessary. We reserve spectrum for public safety and eventually may n

Domain squatting is on unused domains while this was an active public weather satellite already on an established orbit. Not at all comparable.

SpaceX is planning to put 12,000 more satellites up, so their refusal to move to avoid a possible collision they caused is notable. They've also refused to comment, and Musk's reputation doesn't engender faith in their reason
