Glad I'm not the only one who feels the same way about it. Even if it's only a couple bucks difference, the uncertainty adds a whole layer of anxiety for me.

One thing that a lot of tech people forget (including, frequently, myself) is that there are reasons systems are the way they are. It might be inefficient, it might be stupid, it might waste everyone's time, but if they wanted to change thi

I really like it! Definitely works out well although it seems British- and maybe Australian-centric. Is that just based on who is using the Scoopinion now?

I agree. Having worked in great offices, not-so-great offices, and currently working on my own (i.e. from coffee shops, coworking spaces, and at home), working with other people at an office isn't horrible. Not something I always want to do

I'd recommend charging real estate agents (either per lead or listing). They have the money and are used to spending it.

Anyone know if that's typical for batteries in cold weather or is Tesla's exceptionally bad?

Anyone who has driven a similar car. Priuses do the same thing and I think other hybrids do, as well.

Good point but I don't think this is entirely right. Startups are a gamble because businesses are a gamble; most fail very quickly for a variety of reasons. I'd guess that product-market fit and poor management are the two biggest failings
