In Austin, the transit authority wanted to ban smoking at bus stops, but they only have the authority to do so on their own property. The vast majority of bus stops are on city property instead, so they just put up "no smoking" signs at all

You can send as any email address you have access to. Some email clients show the GMail address as well when the email is sent through GMail's SMTP servers. It's suboptimal, but there are plenty of SMTP services you could use if you want

Plenty of services will let you forward your mail to a normal GMail account. Without an SMTP server, your GMail account will still be visible to your recipients, but it's not so bad.

There are so many alternative explanations for that sentence. Your confidence in your conclusion is shocking, and your willingness to throw around such allegations with so little evidence is repugnant.

My PayPal strategy, which I'd reuse for Coinbase et al, is to just create a separate checking account for that with a few clicks. I think the most they can screw me over is one or two overdraft fees before I tell my bank to stop ACH transac

Don't all Google products support application specific passwords? Without built-in support for two-factor auth, it's cumbersome since you have to generate a password on your own, but anything with a password box works.

Predicting failure is easy. Predicting success is hard. Your quote is only about the easy part.

That isn't a conservative estimate. I worked for a news organization with a staff of about 30. Our budget was around $4.5 million, and we were pretty light on the (expensive) software side. That's also not accounting for profit, which is ty

These laws don't require AirBnB hosts to purchase insurance. They outlaw renting out their homes. An argument based on the need for insurance doesn't justify the laws.

People who aren't comfortable with the uncertainties of homeownership are free to rent instead. There are plenty of other investment opportunities out there. It isn't self-evident that keeping neighborhoods static creates more value than it

That's not an accurate characterization of the article at all. It's not asking whether managers are valuable; it's asking whether a popular way of training managers is valuable. It's an excellent question.

I care about my privacy to an extent, and in my experience, Facebook's privacy tools give me more control over my privacy than any other product on the internet (except email, perhaps). To assert that Facebook users must simply not care abo

"Delivering status updates and plumbing ads, that's it." Facebook's messaging, events, photos, and groups products have replaced entire classes of web products for me. I don't know how it is on the inside, but from my vantage point, it se

I like building consumer web products. That seems more likely at Facebook than at Google. Working at small companies is far more appealing to me, so those offers would be my backup plans to begin with.

"An armed society is a polite society." Do you really believe this platitude? On a purely logical level, there are so many counterexamples that one has to be embarrassed to state it as fact.

You're intending to be counter-intuitively insightful, but there are few scenarios in which a sheep is more valuable than a child. You could sell a child for more than you could sell a sheep. The children who are in the most danger from min
