Again, maybe you do. You are not everyone. Stop assuming things to make your argument stronger. You know exactly nothing about 99.9999% of the engineers at these companies and their lives and their needs. You also do not know what they care

Oppresses millions? Please, if you are going to try to make that argument, spare us the hyperbole.

This is a very myopic view. Very few people have the luxury of quitting a job because they don't agree with 100% of things their company is doing. It's an extremely privileged view to have. Especially given that exactly 0 companie

Agreed, sadly the demand is still there. It's so easy to get huge loans and as a result, there is no downward pressure on price. My tiny college had 5 full-time staff for "residence life", plus a dean of that department. Tota

That's not how it works. If you install the app you are giving permission to the app to use your location however they want. It is pretty explicit. From a legal perspective they are supposed to indicate as such in their terms and con

The media's job is not to fawn over the president, actually. They are to report the news and tell the people when the president lies. Therefore, they are doing a great job. By the way, the most watched cable news is Fox News. I assume

That's not what the previous poster said. They were talking about socializing with people your own age, which is critically important. When I was 18 if I acted like a 40 year old I would have never made friends or found a girlfriend.

How can you possibly compare a small group of friends to everyone at our public schools? Clearly you have a bias. If public schooling was doing such a poor job at adjusting children we probably would have noticed by now. On the flip side,

It still doesn't work, because the places where the roads ultimately end up, cities, cannot add more roads. It has to stop somewhere.

Anecdotes != argument. Even the average sized dog can do 10x damage a cat can. And the largest dogs are easily capable of killing. Not an argument.

All of these programs are band-aids at best. Most, like this, will force middle class rents even higher, putting more strain on the system. The causes of ever-increasing rent are clear, but unpopular to address. We need more transit and liv

Airbnb is exactly what is wrong with tech, and this is more reason why. There is no reason why the company needs that much cash. Also, the company is actively hollowing out our cities so they can make a quick buck off of the back of low-to-

People like slack because using it feels like "working". It's not. Everyone who has described to me how their "productivity" went up because of slack I am able to explain away. It's not work, it's keeping

Why does a site like this need annoying notifications in the bottom left telling me that some random person enrolled in some random thing? Jesus, the modern web is a mess.

All great ideas, especially since the GOP tries every day to make voting more difficult. At least all this will help people, unlike most of the provisions the GOP wanted to slip in (abortion nonsense, pro-corporate loans, etc)

Ah yes, let's let a potential deadly thing go on the "market" and just hope it works. Because every first responder is going to take time to read reviews and ensure they thing they are wearing is actually going to work.

All those buildings look great to me. Architecture needs to move forward. Simply emulating what we built 100 years ago is not the right way forward. We use different materials, have different living expectations, etc. And this is coming fro
