This seems like it would've been incredibly fun, at least to me, though it does make me wonder if I'd have been willing to join in the first place. I'm also curious what other things like this exist out there in the world tha

I know MapQuest is pretty bad but I don't think Google Maps out competing it is equivalent to executing a convict.

No, not at all. Your pay is definitely going to be lower than others here on HN because you're in a lower CoL area (I imagine, rural generally is, compared to Bay Area), as well as doing Sys Admin which is less lucrative than developme

It seems like the real problem here is that they spent too much time making their bot 'cute' and not enough time optimizing for real world use cases that could lead to profitability

Doctors are so highly paid as a function of their scarcity, which is itself a function of the high barriers to entry (intense schooling, selective admissions, high costs). I think the first 2 barriers are necessary to keep quality high, but

Because minimum-wage type labor demand is inelastic relative to the actual wage, e.g. regardless of the minimum wage, McDonalds needs at least a few employees on staff at all times - there's a point where they can't cut labor any

You can demonstrate this very easily with your phone (all directions given assuming the phone is facing you, oriented vertically): rotating it cw/ccw will be stable (you're on the shortest axis, only the depth of your phone, proba

That's a great way to make the general public hate the EFF because they think it's spying on them.

Could it not just be that it's redundant for them to sign on the second brief? Opposing the first ban is obviously opposing the second. I don't think it needs to be some conspiracy about corporate politics and PR.

These are videos they're voluntarily uploading for the benefit of non-students, why should they have to make them accessible? If it was an issue where one of their own students needed the videos then that would be different, but these

Is there any inherent advantage in setting the TravisCI account permissions in the bucket properties rather than the IAM role, or is it just a personal preference thing?

Depends where you are and the season - bugs are less of a concern in the winter, and harmful spiders/scorpions aren't present everywhere. Plus, a can of insect repellent is still much lighter than a tent
