We could always give those low skilled workers shovels and pay them to dig holes and fill them back in. Oh wait, thats not okay either.

If you can't afford to pay a living being a living wage, then you can't afford to pay for the service... Maybe you should automate the task.

I wonder how many deaths have been caused by people fumbling around in Apple Music's interface on their mobile device while driving. It's a sad but true reality (at least in my life) that I like to listen to music while I'm d

>This will be another Fire incident for Amazon. Disagree. This is entering a far less saturated somewhat new market. A very focused communication/consumption device where the tablet is trying to be a laptop.

I think there are plenty of aging folks that are open to being set up with whatever their family sets them up with to keep in contact. Especially if it increases contact with the distributed family. My siblings and I went in on an iPad for

With the looming take over of the robots, why is the fast food industry still largely meat powered? I would think these establishments at their scale, would be ripe for automation, yet they aren't. Are humans still cheaper in this part

TBH though, I can't think of many things less fulfilling than wasting time on Facebook. The adrenaline from winning an online game, a show or film that makes you think or gives you a new perspective... then there's the Facebook fe

Color me skeptical! 5 years, maybe... 10 years, definitely!

Mine too, believe me! My idea is to allow a group to contribute to cover a certain amount per year for their entire network, depending on the size of it. $50.00 split by 15-20 family/friend members would be pretty affordable. I would s

Many Christians would say they are part of spiritual Israel (or spiritual Jews). I don't think its unfair to pair them together like that. Christians just believe in the New Testament and that Jesus Christ is/was the prophesied Me

I have accounts with traditional brokers and with Robinhood. I assure you the barrier to entry with Robinhood is far lower than traditional brokers. I could definitely see this being a major concern with the potential to ruin some unsuspect

33 and SNES games still give me a nostalgia kick to the face. So many warm happy memories of that system and time of my life.

How has your success been received by your family? Are they still mostly economically depressed? Just interested to know what the family dynamic is like when a kid breaks the cycle.

Or you could simply say, "I prefer not to disclose that information". If a potential employer continues to push you to make the first offer, you can dodge the bullet and walk away with your integrity intact. Personally, I never as

Honesty and integrity are pretty high on the list of qualities I like in people I associate and work with. The fact that you would conspire with your previous employer to artificially prop your value up and then tell a bold faced lie in an

I hope I never hire someone like you by accident. I have a feeling it wouldn't take long until this outlook would lead to other problems in the workplace that would have you on to your next con.

Note the "think" in my statement. I have no evidence. I just can't fathom Microsoft actually thinking pre-installing Candy Crush on Windows 10 provides a net positive value to their customer, more than the company King Digita

No, I think King is paying Microsoft a hefty price to advertise to you directly in your start menu.

Wait, so you are saying that having the most innovative competitor (in the retail space) would be good for competition? Maybe for THE competition, but surely not the consumer.

Simplicity in design seems like a fairly timeless design principle. Unfortunately, once you've simplified the design to its near simplest form, its hard to make design updates that feel significantly advancing.

Yeah, seriously! Skip the car research. Bring us a virtual alternative that enables us to vastly reduce our need to travel! This is probably the closest we can ever get to teleportation. Why should I have to travel to various cities on eith

It's incredibly telling when you know people really well that project a model of perfection on Facebook/Instagram whose real life/attitude is an entirely different story. I can't understand how these people justify their

Congrats on finally jumping into the conversation, so to speak! Also, thanks for the perspective, this is really encouraging.
