This is why most people take an Uber - the taxi experience did not change much. Smelly car, smoking driver, dangerous/lost navigation, no CC reader,... Even if Uber were to raise prices or subsidize less, I doubt people would switch ba

That's what the crawler infra can be used for. It can easily be adjusted for this purpose.

This is one of the features that I was wondering why it wasn't there from the beginning (according to article Excel 1 with VLOOKUP shipped 1985).

They aren't contractors, and they are not employees. That's why its called "gig economy".

Interesting, article but lacking a lot of details. This coming from Google, a direct competitor, certainly also looks a bit marketing phishy. After the very recent large scale Google Play malware campaigns were uncovered (like CamScanner) i

How was the key compromised? Did someone breach Facebook to steal it, or did Facebook employees post it somewhere? Curious to learn more details. Probably again much worse then initially being reported on.

Google pushes these concepts because they want Chromium to be the operation system that will replace Linux/Windows/Mac. Something like Chrome - Total Control Edition. Why, I dont know - but in the 90s people said Microsoft was aft

Title is wrong, can HN or OP change it please? Its nice if the title is the real one because most often it actually reflects the content better, otherwise its clickbait and hoping for random upvotes. This is not about employees, its contrac

I have never had a MacBook before and due to changing jobs recently, I'm forced to use one now. Its good, I also like the keyboard. The click sound is awesome and I like the thinness of the keys! Maybe I'm different, or maybe comp

This reflects my experience with this post, it was immediately (within a few minutes) downvoted drastically. Now it has normalized it seems and is neutral.

Correct, if a business model works and is successful it can lead to a monopoly. And there are laws that try to tackle that. But its going off topic because Uber and Lyft are far away from that position, they hardly have a functioning busine

Same was said 20 years ago about Internet Explorer. Even the arguments and counter-arguments are the same as 20 years ago. Users don't really have a choice anymore, they are quite often being manipulated (forced) to install Chrome. Jus

The free market will tell us. It works well for companies like Apple, Ticketmaster, etc.. That's what I tried to highlight with my post, which seems very reasonable, so I don't understand the massive downvoting.

It's well known that they are in the red. The question is, if the entire business model does actually work and the good thing about capitalism is that we will see it over next 1-2 years as it's like natural selection. If drivers s

"Urges the user to use Microsoft Edge or Chrome." Meaning "Chrome only" is the strategy here (since Edge, mshtml.dll, as unique rendering engine will disappear). Welcome back to the past - have seen this all before in th

They both describe pretty identical things. The WSJ article describes in a more practical way what scenarios cookies (as defined on the Wikipedia's page you cited) enable. So, in many ways WSJ did a superb job here in describing what t

Google refuses to do something about arbitrary network connections, most likely due to their ads business model. Their ads require network connections to work!

Right on! Those are the very features that I'm missing! It seems super simple to provide that basic level of control to the end user. I also want shadow/fake address books and location information as a feature.

The US is probably the most accepting country in the world when it comes to interracial marriages - certainly depends on the area within you move to also. What "helps" in such a situation is to move to a foreign country (rather th

This is very cool! The giant drawback of Poweshell is that it's so focused on Windows - this projects seems to provide some of that power cross platform. Very neat idea!

Yes, I agree that it's a tradeoff. Although that tradeoff was made when memory was sparse and expensive, a modern shell should certainly be more structured - e.g. like PowerShell or Nushell here.

I always wonder how HN does de-deduplication. Sometimes it works automatically, sometimes it doesn't. This was already submitted yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20778994
