Theranos was not viable because it was a scam and people in the industry thought exactly that. Unless you believe taxi drivers are all arguing that Uber doesn't actually provide rides, I don't think your argument makes sense.

I saw someone say once that it is done to fulfil a legal obligation to make certain clauses obvious and noticeable, or a similar phrasing in contract law.

Even easier to find one person willing to give ten recruits a carefully wrapped package of "drugs" that they think they will deliver at the other end....

Yes, the special case in the US tax code is that non-residency does not excuse you from paying taxes to the IRS (although I believe there is a non-residency tax deduction on the first $80k or so).

I find that Airbnb is most attractive when (a) travelling in a small group, because it can be cheaper to get a place that fits three adults and a kid on airbnb than at a hotel, and (b) when visiting people that live somewhere, since it&#x27

You can give me all the money you want and I won't spend any of it on housing. In fact my income has gone up 50% in the last five years and my housing expenses haven't changed at all.

Hmm, would it? A lot of people might be ok with sitting back and letting it play out if they had the escape valve of still being an EU citizen.

There is an even faster growing trend of people who campaign on really explicit "stop immigration, prevent foreigners from ruining our culture" platforms turning around and saying 'how dare you call me racist!'

The Leave campaign spent plenty of time telling people that the UK would be economically better off without the EU, £350m per week better off. Lots of bullshit about how if it weren't for the EU they could afford to support farmers and

That's not the plan by everyone who wants labelling, no. All I said is that I know people who do want/expect it to work that way. (I neither want it to or believe that it will).

It's extraordinarily difficult to "just drive off" when someone is in your car, and it's easy to not realise someone is a dangerous creep the first second you see them.

Ugh, I can only imagine the creepy drunk male passengers you'd get at night as a female driver.

I'm confident it did cause some of them to commit suicide. I am arguing, as someone else said - some of them made it. Nobody survived without food. Therefore it is silly to suggest love is more fundamental than food to survival.

Plenty of kids appear to have survived horrific orphanage experiences, growing up abused, and a complete lack of love. I'm yet to hear of one that made it without food.

When I left my previous job I had documented, cleaned up and transitioned everything without anyone realizing I was doing so before I gave my two weeks notice. "Not giving a notice period" and "not tying up loose ends etc&quo

I have no opinion on what you were "out to" do, I was responding to your comment which seemed to be expressing disbelief in the idea that IQ tests can be trained for ("I hear this repeated a lot...I guess if that was true Men

For the record, I know plenty of people who are actually against GMO's and want them labelled so that all consumers can boycott them and they get forced out of the market.

You are conflating various things. 1) it is uncontroversial that training improves performance on traditional IQ tests. It is true that people aim to minimise this when designing tests. It is also true that so far, nobody has done a great j

A lot of the discussion I've seen around this is people arguing that simply the act of displaying your LED screen at a darkened concert is interfering with others enjoyment of the show. Obviously that's not the problem they are pu

That's only true if you want to claim that the "best" place to grow $randomFruit cannot be more profitably used doing $randomThing. Downtown San Francisco could be the world best microclimate for tomatoes but it still probabl

I like it, because I have things like "parents in town", "partner in Canada" or "no soda challenge" that are relevant to any specific decision I make for a few weeks. Do I really want to see that movie with fri

I like it! On my Android phone, I tried connecting my calendar - went through the Google with screen but then got some error message ("could not connect"?), and a spinning circle that never went away.
