In short, horse trading. That is, if you have leverage in an adversarial negotiation, you'd be foolish not to use it to get more of what you want. For example, as a prospective employee, if I knew that I was the only qualified candidat

Apparently my 'easy' isn't the same as yours. There's nothing I could find in the code that describes what it is. You'd have to make a pretty big logic leap to figure it out. All you can see in the code (in config.j

$0.10 per hour is already WAY more than a creator usually gets from your viewing. I'd happily pay that amount for good youtube-like content. Creators would love it because it's far more money than they get now. Consumers would lik

I'd argue that tourists are the main untapped market in terms of transportation on the strip. Workers and residents might already be familiar with the public transport that exists, but most visitors would probably rather get a private

The article may be referring to page 14, actually. The question on page 14 is "Do you think the American Dream--that if you work hard you'll get ahead--still holds true, never held true, or once held true but does not anymore? And

If you can figure out a way to do without the nasal cannula, the possibilities are huge. Maybe a good IR camera could look at the air coming out of your nose and determine the velocity. Seems like it's actually already a thing [1]. Cyn

Here's another related one that always bothers me: When you say something's loudness in decibels, you also need to specify a measurement distance. The author of this article even accidentally makes this omission: > It’s 94 dB,
