The workers got paid. You said you'd do the job for $XX. Someone else took your work and sold it for $XXXX. You don't therefore deserve some cut of that sale. You sold your work for $XX. No one forced you into that. If you wanted

I know no one likes to hear this but rewards are generally about risk. Someone, investors, risked their money. If their investment failed they'd be out $$$$$$$. Employees rarely risk anything. They get paid $$$$$$ a year. If the compan

It's not one less thing to think about which is exactly the point. If you install 1 dep and it has 100 deps you now have 101 things to think about.

How about UX bugs Like: 1. Messages to drivers are apparently not through uber? It seems like sending a message to a driver happens through SMS rather than through uber itself. This seems to result in driver not seeing message. Had that hap

Battery cases solve that for me. I have the largest phone with the largest battery but it's still often not enough. I could carry an external battery like many people but I've watched them (a) forget the cable (b) forget the batte

Why? Because many of us have experience with the bad side of unions and we don't want to see programming become anything like that. You'll end up with mountains of regulations and specialties and not be allowed do anything outside

It is the consumer's problem for me. Because I travel a lot I get charges denied because the card company's computer decides the charge looks suspisious. I have to spend 20-40 minutes dealing with it on top of which I lose hotel r

frameworks make sense even if you do know what you're doing. Google, Facebook, all the top companies use frameworks. Why would I want to waste time reinventing the wheel. I just want to drive the car to get to my destination. I don&#x2

That seems kind of cynical. I would certainly consider paying to be in a corporate created social apartment if the reviews were high and there was some guarantee of the managers dealing with problem people. Collectives (and meetups etc) hap

I'm probably just not remembering it correctly but I know of no way to apply updates to a locked iPhone. Even when unlocked if you plug it into a new computer the phone will ask if you trust the new computer. Is there some method of up

Apple "could" allow webapps on the App store (like the Chrome app store did/does?) Whether that's good or bad for users or Apple I don't know. People would start submitting lots of websites to the app store and Appl

My impression is Intuit worked to make sure the online pay system keep changing their protocol just to force you to upgrade to a new Quicken every 2 years. Can anyone confirm?

DirectX 10, 11, and 12 all came out in the last 10 years. All had significant improvements over each previous one. MS has spent millions on making windows the high end gaming platform.

Cheap airlines (and maybe cheap seats?) actually have an unintended side effect for me. Recently I flew from Singapore to Hong Kong. The first 4 options in price according to Google flights were $69, $105, $540, ~$1500. I found that spread
