Most hotels I've stayed at seem to be significantly limited on speed; anything <=5 floors is almost always faster to just head for the stairs and not even bother waiting. After a week, it's 6 floors.

One trick for depression is to go out and find someone in a worse situation than you and help them. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, they surely need a hand. Maybe it won't make you happy but you could potentially improve someone else&#x27

by petee 5y ago
Uber, Doordash, and the like have consistently played games with payments, fees, and tips; an intentional decision would just be par for the course, to see how much you can get away with and toe the line before enough people complain.

It would seem far easier to just fly it manually for the average person. There was already a case of drug cartels using a drone with explosives, and others using swarms to attack police during a urban drug raid

Thanks for this; I'm a little confused since they still don't show the total accounting. One screen shows $11 total service charge, another shows $6 for Third-party fees (either way thats crazy Uber passes this cost on) There is a

The only outlier here is the cost. General complaints can be assumed to be reprensentive of these people's experiences, or they wouldn't be here complaining, no?

Irony is the bird feeder story originally came out before we knew amazon was using their market insight to steal and knockoff their own sellers products. Likely amazon was the one making the knockoffs.

I stopped trusting amazon when they removed the ability to report product issues, like knockoffs or scams. Removing the links just affirmed they don't care whats in their marketplace, and they just backed that attitude up with their r

Well if you did patent it, it's stolen. The equivalent for books is copyright laws, so if the work is protected copyright then yes, you've stolen. And theft is defined as stealing, which has "to take or appropriate without r

First off it errodes the reputation of the real product. Fakes are never as good, and the real company will have to deal with people trying to return fakes as well as bad reviews. I'd also say it absolutely matters depending on the cla

I had been under the impression that part of the AMP ecosystem or whatever was to enforce those practices. Otherwise, what's even the point of AMP? If anyone can do anything we're just back to the junk web again

I do recall, but the problem is the of the list of prior-issues you present, half those issues still persist in AMP, minus motion/fading effects. There are still so many ads it bogs down; ads break up content; there are articles indica
