Interesting conversations happening in the comment sections on that site.

Whenever I see systems like this I am left wondering what people do on mobile? Are you never in the need to write a note or create a task when you're away from the computer?

Interestingly in Dubai International Airport, they have these smart gates that recognize you and re-issue your re-entry eVisa using facial recognition. You walk up, they scan your face and show your name. No passport gets scanned.

Anecdotal, but I just yesterday took a combination of Amtrak and BART to fly out of SFO. This one way trip, I nearly stepped in human feces transferring from the Richmond Amtrak Station to BART. Then while enroute to SFO, which took no less

> attend offline events! Be adventerous Meeting in-person is harder but increases the intimacy and richness of communication. Combine an offline meetup with a walk through a park or a museum for maximum serendipity. Clearly you missed th

Seems like YouTube is not alone in radicalizing people. The question is what isn’t radicalizing people. NYT and the old media is fighting YT and the new media for the rights to be the best radicalization tool. Everyone is fighting for peopl

I had these in Uzbekistan, they sell them everywhere, and people suck on them like it’s chewing gum. They were not to my taste, very bitter and very salty.

By removing all jobs that don’t pay a livable wage you essentially remove all jobs that low-skilled workers are working. I don’t see how that would help the poor. Fighting poverty is done by giving the impoverished more opportunities, not

They were prepared to do it. It was set to go into effect and was going to it if wasn’t for the emergency stay order.

Why stop at Uber drivers? Why don’t the California regulators just regulate away all jobs that don’t pay a livable wage? Why don’t the California regulators just raise the minimum wage to $90k a year? Like I mentioned in the post above, reg

I’ve never been poor. But I wasn’t exactly middle class. My parents were immigrants. Poverty is terrible, and I agree it should be dealt with. But how has this law helped? Uber and Lyft are more than willing to leave all of California rathe

All? No. Some if not most? Yes. There are many cases to be made against minimum wage laws and anti-compete laws. A laws designed to affect everyone but instead has hundreds of exemptions carved out has no place existing.

I agree, marriage isn’t a requirement for a stable and long term relationship. That being said, it’s a pretty good indicator, or at least it used to be, and a shift of 36% is very significant.

The most striking quote to me from this was: > In 1960, the out-of-wedlock birthrate in the U.S. was 3 percent. In 2000, it was about 30 percent. Today, it is 40 percent. No matter how you feel about it, it’s got to be said that change t

My problem with ProtonMail is their requirement to use their bridge software for 3rd party mail apps and their requirement to use only their mobile application. I get the limitation because of the encryption, but I wish I can just turn off

This isn't true, we outsource work to Colombian developers frequently.

That’s a very cynical view. What about You and I who also have a down payment and a mortgage? You can argue that Uber was exploiting workers, but at the same time, none of them were forced to work. All made a free choice. And now “The Stat

The difference here is that the wealthy became wealthy by providing something of value. Wealth redistribution does the opposite, take from those that are providing value and give it to those that aren’t.

You have a point but it’s pretty clear that most companies don’t care about PWAs and the ones that have PWAs they treat as a funnel to their App Store application. It’s pretty clear that the industry doesn’t want PWAs, it wants easier ways

The main reason is that there are cards with far better rewards. The question is whether or not you’d qualify for them.

I would argue that stripping news of political connotations would be a plus. I wish all news was reported this way.

You’re implying that people can’t come up with that conclusion on their own? Why does it have to be a central source, and not just people realizing it themselves?

I’m glad this works locally. I remember Kite for Python, one of the reasons we couldn’t use it was because it sent the code to a remote server. Glad to see this.

If you’d like to see how this would go. Reference the FCC. Which is essentially what she is trying to create here.
