Uber/UberEats drivers get 100% of every tip, that is completely outside the equation for their pay.

You are 100% incorrect. Go look it up in the dictionary. Mean == Average, by definition. Median is the middle point of a set, and mode is completely different, it's the most frequent number in a set. In no shape of form is "mode&q

We need to code this in law. Any type of plastic used in consumer products needs to be recyclable easily, otherwise outlaw it. Any food containers need to be compostable. I'm willing to pay much higher food and product costs so that th

Catcher in the Rye was substantially the most important book I've read in my life. It put in words the exact things I was feeling, and became a bible to me. As I read the book several times as I got older, I remembered how I felt about

Oil was never at $100 in the 80s, I have no idea what you're talking about. It's undeniable that Reagan's spending on the Cold War caused the collapse of the USSR.

Incredible how the US has transformed into the largest producer of crude oil in the world in the matter of a few short years. It's definitely a geopolitical weapon to attack those in the Middle East with, especially the Saudis, althoug

How frustrating that it took so long to get a proper diagnosis and treatment for the child in the article, even though he had multiple diagnoses saying it was PTSD. This is pretty clear that psychology is largely haphazard, which is my own

What you're saying is absolute bullshit. https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/09/uber-ceo-says-2019-is-the-... He publicly stated over a year ago that 2019 was the year to IPO. To characterize this as a "

I click on their ads every single time, using incognito mode, whenever I see them, just so that it costs them money. Their ads are completely deceitful in my opinion and nothing but clickbait.

Almost everyone thinks a crash is coming. There has never been a crash where almost everyone has seen it coming. Therefore there will not be a crash at least in the near future. Prices might pullback but it won't be a crash.

Based on how pissed off Trump is that Powell is raising rates, I would say the Fed Chairman is pretty independent.

I think I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to navigate what is actually healthy to eat, and more importantly, what is healthy for my children to eat. Is there a single, trustworthy authority that can tell me which brands are safe

It only takes one person in your entire contact list to upload their entire contact list, so that your information gets uploaded to Linkedin/Facebook/Google, etc. It's almost impossible to assert that level of control, so my

Nope, your analogy is deeply flawed. I'm not telling people that they have a moral obligation to do or think anything. I gave my opinion that I lost respect in Steve Yegge, because he was being a hypocrite. I didn't say "Peop

It used to be Uber last year, but now it's Facebook. The journalists have a new target now. They won't stop until Zuckerberg kisses their ring and acknowledges their power. In 2019 it will be someone else, maybe Jeff Bezos but wit

When will New York Times point their Eye of Sauron against the things that you enjoy? They have no business spreading their version of "morality" lest it become a slippery slope into a new religion. Facebook is an ad company. You

C++ is changing way too fast to be useful anymore. I spent the first 15 years of my life loving C++ but in the last 8 years or so, the C++ committee has vastly outpaced its supply lines. I've been out of the language since then and I m

My admiration for Steve Yegge plummeted after his article on why he moved from Google to Grab. He was talking about how Grab had some sort of moral highground above Uber, but if he spent even 10 mins researching he would see that objectivel
