As a consumer, I don't really care. I long ago realized that most big companies I do business with have probably done something sketchy in terms of lobbying / dodging regulation, whether they've gotten caught yet or not, and

If you use large amounts of mobile data, their plans very quickly become obnoxious (throttled after 15GB) and expensive ($80 plus taxes/fees). Compare that with T-Mobile, who offers $70 a month (including taxes/fees) with throttli

The current administration is actively dismantling the EPA, so I'm not sure this is the best analogy. There's no real appetite for regulation of commercial data use in the US on either end of the political spectrum. And this is a

Every time I read comments like this, I shake my head. Despite recent breaches, I still trust the big players--Google, FB, Microsoft, etc.--with my data from a security perspective far more than I'd trust myself to be able to manage se

German is spoken in countries other than Germany: looking at only countries where the German language enjoys some form of official or co-official status, we have Germany (of course), Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembo

I'm not quite sure why this is trending, as it feels more than a bit like conspiracy mongering: "one of the world’s most popular and reputable exchanges is borrowing money from consumers (without their permission) to stave off a l

I'd be shocked if any significant number of UberX and Lyft drivers had a CDL. Even in NYC, where a TLC license and commercial insurance is required, drivers still don't need a CDL. Some driving definitely requires specialized skil

It's not—and anyone who says that it is is deluding themselves. I think we've reached the point where ridesharing apps are 100% a commodity: there's no real product differentiation, so I'll choose based on price and how

I'm not sure about that. This isn't a 'scandal' in the way Uber's treatment of its female engineers is; it's just a driver leaking what was thought to be a private conversation, albeit one that isn't parti
