That's still not an accurate map. 3D maps don't have projection issues, they can have near perfect representation of the world.

I wasn't complaining about the lack of product, which is what the warning on the box is for (so people don't call up and say "hey you gave me a half filled bag!"). My complaint is that there is clearly an inefficiency in

I flagged this because it's short and missing a lot of context. I'm sure there's something meaningful to be said about rideshare companies (I'm not even sure that's the main subject here), but I really have no idea

Right! The decision to have a child is between my partner and I, and as such, the decision to care for it should be between us as well. What if my partner wants to be a stay at home parent? If that were the case, forcing the working paren

I doubt most companies are that one-dimensional in their hiring. In any case, your proposed solution of forcing paternity leave means that, as a company, I'd rather hire single people.

They don't, we should be free to choose. I just don't want to be forced to take time off.

I'm against regressive equality. Instead of forcing men to struggle alongside women, we should work to remove women's struggle - that's progressive equality. Decrease costs of daycare and create programs to re-introduce child

I feel like that is "crabs in the bucket"-style thinking. Don't force men to take work off and impact their careers just because women have to.

I flagged this because of the gross hyperbole in the title and the article itself.

by jbob2000 8y ago
Totally fair, it was a hyperbolic comment. But environmentalism takes many small steps to achieve, it’s not done overnight in one fell swoop. If we fight all of these small steps, then it never moves forward. We need to “die on this hill” s

It's more like, "The well is poisoned and Bob noticed last week, but we can't fix the problem because then people go without drinking water for 2 weeks"

I read your article, thanks for sharing. Just because she is disabled doesn’t mean she can’t change too. I understand that disability makes change difficult, but I think these issues are important enough that the struggle to change is worth

If we were to answer every use case every time we need to make a societal change, then nothing would get done. The scope of people you mention with that disability is very very small. And still, they could work around metal by using a piece

Toilet paper and drinking straws are not equivalent. TP is biodegradable and EVERYBODY needs it. If stores were to stop carrying TP, then everyone would need to carry it around and that's silly. Disabled people aren't helpless, th

How hard is it to carry a metal straw with you? You hear news about the ban, and you put a couple plastic ones in your bag until the metal one from amazon arrives. Why are people so helpless? Jesus christ, it takes half a second to figure o

Vapes aren't cheap. Somebody gave this kid $100 to buy his device and someone regularly gives him $10+ to refill it. And somebody is failing to check his age when he makes the purchase. The only problem the school has is that they don&

You aren't allowed to smile for passports either. I had to retake mine for my Canadian passport a few years ago because I put on a huge smile :D. Most people don't walk around with a giant grin on their face. A picture of a restin

The repair process forces you to walk into the store, past all the new models, and wait for 10-20 minutes for your genius, while your eyes dance around all the wonderful products you could buy. The repair isn't just about the revenue,

Counter argument: the generic hygiene products that most companies would stock would get rarely used because they aren’t the preferred size/brand or don’t have needed features. And software shops are often in cities where a local drugs

If the label is wrong, how do you know something is actually organic? His point is that it's just a label you can practically slap on anything.

For a proper development shop, the developers wouldn't use the generated code. It would require so much rework to fit their framework that you might as well just write it from scratch. I have worked with tools like yours, Adobe has an

No. What will happen is billionaires will capture all the space, everyone else will move out and lose all their money (property is the biggest asset most people have), then the billionaires value their land for pennies and hire security to

Essentially all this does make the property owner pay a protection fee to prevent their property from being bought by someone else. It's a terrible system because a billionaire could come in and scoop up thousands of people's prop
