That's a fair point, they forbid you refusing short trips most places I'm familiar with. I wasn't really thinking about that in this case, mostly people asking you to take them sketchy places or belligerent customers which ar

Taxi drivers can pick up anyone on their own terms (with some limitations from local laws). Uber drivers on the other hand can only legally pick up rides dispatched from Uber or another ride-sharing app. That's all they're insur

Having been born in the early 90s I sure wish my elementary school teachers encouraged an interest in computers and used them for more than KidPix, AskJeeves and word processing. They treated computers like a fad then and failed us, let

What does the author mean when he says 'black sun-like VR network'? Googled and couldn't figure it out. Hoping it's a reference to some good sci-fi I haven't read.

You still need to make a clean line at the back and do around the ears. If you don't it looks really sloppy. Definitely something you can learn, but it's not as easy as just running the buzzer over your head. If you want to get yo

Whether you own them or not is subject to a lot of debate and not clear cut. If you owned them, why would you need to fool ARIN into believing they are being utilised? The agreement you make to get an allocation requires a certain level of

I would strongly recommend against using any OpenVZ VMs. You're forced to use the same kernel as the VM host and if you want to enable any kernel modules (e.g. TUN, TAP) your host needs to do it. Go with Xen or KVM and avoid all that.

It doesn't seem like HNProfile is particularly accurate. It seems to interpret terse comments as unhappy, and all my interests listed come from a single comment thread a couple months ago discussing Canadian regions instead of anything

Because they use the same intimidation tactics (the operator obviously didn't want to cop to this in the article, but the author mentions some instances) and both companies would suffer if either persued legal action. The truck operato
