As a heavy Uber user, this would have gone down a lot easier if they had just messaged it slightly differently: We're adding safety checks into our process for UberX drivers. In order to do this, we're increasing the base cost by

"The American Dream", self-motivation, entrepreneurship and "pushing the frontier" are all good things IMHO. However, they aren't the same as "unreflectingly capitalistic" and "pre-occupied with monet

You're disproving your own point. In the same paragraph, you say "The idea of great risk is a myth" and "There are many small business that represent a much bigger risk for their owners". Think about it.

Bullshit. What is crass is the perspective that Americans are unreflectingly capitalistic and pre-occupied with monetary success. Most business owners I know started their business because they saw a need for something and they wanted to de

a. This struck me as dramatically unprofessional. How could they not do caching? Mind blowing when you consider that they knew their audience was a significant part of the country. b. The explanation of cache seemed a bit too plain and didn

PipelineDeals and Pipedrive are both I've used and would recommend. If I had to narrow to one, I'd go with PipelineDeals.

Well that's for the Supreme Court to decide now but logically speaking, it's not an unlicensed duplication. It's not duplicated at all. The broadcast is recorded once, played back by the original recorder, and is not distribu

The DIY PC route is still going to be more affordable. If we go the Ivy Bridge E route and opt for a Core i7-4930K, you get more cores than either of the options above for around $600 for the CPU. Adding in another $330 for a motherboard,

This app is awesome. Question for developers: How can I delete stuff that you automatically journal? For example, I take pictures of white boards in meetings. I don't want them in my journal. I'd like my journal to be curated for

They are not charging extra for the app so it's not "to make a few extra bucks." They are attempting to do the best job they can for their customers. Depriving your customers because you want to take a principled stand by tak

I buy at least $30 of music each month from iTunes. Finding the addresses of these artists, writing a check and sending it their way would be more hassle than I care to go through. If the artists don't like the deal that labels are giv

"or you simply quit??" That's just silly. I'm not trying to defend his actions but I do want to defend a sane persons option to change their mind in light of more evidence / information. You don't just quit. Yo

It's all relative. I live in California, US. I know how big the US is relative to Cali... so I know how big United States is. I have a point of reference. Comparing Africa to USA gives me a way to mentally model what the difference in size
