Airbnb started strong, but it has become a minefield for travelers. Scam listings have exploded -- Airbnb admitted in 2023 that it removed nearly 60,000 fake ones, but that's only a fraction of what slips through. Investigations like o

Let’s be honest - this is an argument that “the ends justify the means.” But that kind of reasoning should make all of us uneasy. Where do we draw the line? If we eliminated a third of the world’s population to stop global warming, would th

It feels like they’ve always taken the approach: “Why rewrite anything when we can just add more virtualization?” In the short term, that might help ensure compatibility with older versions with minimal testing. But after 40-something years

Ohhh I get it now — the joke is that the Astros are crooks. Like, actual cheaters who got away with it. Hilarious stuff. Classic. (= But seriously, they stole a World Series and faced zero real consequences. It’s like watching a gang of ban

Like, sure—I can download a new ringtone for my dishwasher… but you know what the dumbest thing about internet-connected appliances is? I still can’t set my oven clock without doing some weird finger kung-fu combo. Why? WHY?? Why can’t it j

Given the recent layoffs in the tech industry, how do you see the role of immigration in addressing labor market needs? Some people express concerns that the H-1B program might be used primarily to reduce labor costs rather than to fill gen

This is so dumb. Look, I hate how dominant Chrome is. It’s basically a glorified data vacuum for Google—and it’s only getting worse. But at the end of the day, people choose to use Chrome, and I don’t see why Google shouldn’t be allowed to

A lot of sites now block non-Google search engines from accessing their data. Honestly, I find it easier to check a Discord server than to get useful results from DuckDuckGo these days. Google has done whatever it takes to incentivize peopl

Boo hoo? Back in college, a kid in my dorm had a huge MP3 collection. And he shared it out over the network, and people were all like, "Man, Patrick has an amazing MP3 collection!" And he spent hours and hours ripping CDs from eve

100% agree. Insurance companies shouldn't get to pick and choose what drugs are in or out. I was at a company, and Wegovy was covered. Then randomly I got an email from HR, "Your medication is no longer covered." The fuck is

Most insurance plans in the US don't cover treatments, drugs, or surgeries that work for weight loss... Seems like they ought to.

Spotify recently reported record profits, but at what cost? After raising prices, cutting payouts to artists, and laying off a significant number of employees, Spotify managed to post a $499M profit. It just doesn’t sit right with me when a
