Not a single top level comment condemning the moron that hit a person and drove off which speaks volumes about how low the bar is for human drivers. Waymo can’t expand soon enough.

This is bad financial advice. I recommend to anyone reading to not do this lest you become the subject of another crappy CNBC headline. Relying on a 401k alone means that in the best case scenario means you're all but guaranteed to wor

It's the only thing it can do. It's not like it's going to suddenly become competent in technology and create viable competitors.

I don’t know if it’s across the entire UK but most restaurants in London add an automatic 12.5% gratuity. Only way to remove it is to ask the server which is far more awkward than choosing a tip privately.

Have to agree with this assessment of that comment. Of all things to complain about, Americans are not rude on average. Really quite nice, possibly even overbearing at times. Tells me GP hasn’t travelled outside of the US and if they had,

There is zero chance Hawaii will be allowed to secede ever. It’s one of the US’s most important military outposts, especially as tensions with China rise.

Two things can be true at once. Piracy was a huge contributor to adoption of subscription based models.

Funny that you talk about greed when one of the reasons everything went the way of subscriptions is because of piracy. Even here and today, people defend pirating movies when you can rent one for a few bucks in 4K HDR with Dolby. Nothing bu

If it’s a massive burden to do something as simple as pay for goods and services then why not? There is a whole world out there that doesn’t suffer from this problem.

Go to giant music festivals as well. It’s a great way to be around a lot of people that are into the same thing as you where you can chat, make friends, and just experience shared life.
