The point is to have some awareness of the luck involved in getting to where you are and to provide empathy and support to the people who haven't been so lucky. You can share that luck.

Fortunately GPDR effects any site/company that has EU visitors which is nearly all sites.

Not really. It has interesting content and no advertising on the site.

Yep the title is misleading. "Google has stressed that Chat is not a new Google app. Since RCS is a communications standard, it is up to individual mobile networks and phone-makers to switch on the functionality." The title should

It's not about the tax code complexity. It's about the government having a system in place to use the information it already has to automatically complete your taxes if you have a simpler tax return. This happens in a lot of other

Corporations like Intuit TurboTax spend millions of dollars of the money you give them to loby the government and keep the system so convoluted that you need them to do your taxes.

Having lived in US and UK there is a big difference. I have experienced US doctors tring to upsell me on treatments for a superficial leg injury that UK doctors who have seen the same thing have not and said just leave it unless it causes p

Facebook is like a phonebook with everyone I've met. I live away from where I grew up so often contact with friends has large gaps. I don't have everyone's email/phone and those change. To get them once they change I&#x2

Not because it's a particularly good service. Mainly because everyone is on there. It would also be fine if everyone was on Google plus or anything else but it's the only place where I know I can reach most people I know.

Where did you hear this? The Caltrain calls incidents where it hits a pedestrian "tresspasser strikes". Always thought this was awful.

by maym86 9y ago
If incidents only occur when the driver is distracted then it will always look like the cause was driver distraction even if they were diligent for 99.99% of the trip. There will likely be a bias in the future for incidents like this to sho

Facebook employees upset that internal information they thought was private has been leaked. The lack of self awarness is amazing. No sympathy.

The conditions under which Uber failed are similar to those in Mountain View if there was no traffic (which there rarely is). I suspect Google's car would not have had the same issues.

But why does it need to be? I would still take a Lyft/Uber because the service is better, even at the same price.

Uber's competitive advantage has always been its willingness to engage in unethical behavior. No surprise here. They were forced out if California because their system didn't work so they just put it on roads in Arizona instead an

Insurance fraud. Fleet vehicles and taxis have high insurance requirements and people can get payouts. I've seen videos of people putting their car into reverse to force a rear end collision to make it look like the driver behind is at

Arguing is not the same as doing something about it. Gates has shown he can take on problems he cares about by using his money and get results. Why doesn't he put money/resources into making the tax system more fair rather than ju

Does he lobby for higher taxes? Buffet, Gates etc. always say they should be taxed more but I haven't heard of them actively supporting candidates and causes that will actually do this. If they really want it to change they have a lot

In agree. Enact a laws to provide sufficient puplic restrooms and support for homeless people while also enacting changes to reduce plastic bag usage. My issue is with the implication that reducing plastic bags caused this. Not helping vene

Or just access to well maintained public toilets.

by maym86 9y ago
This is a separate problem caused by not providing homeless people access to toilets. Seems obvious that the solution is more public restrooms not more plastic bags.
