There are so many costs involved that this is a non-starter for a lot of people. I would not want to fly back and forth on my own dime to satisfy my company. Not to mention, uprooting family/social networks/etc.

DoorDash and others have known about these for years. At this point there’s no way they aren’t complicit. These ghost kitchens bloat up the list of restaurants for user choice probably making people think more food is available.

I’m in the US, Venmo is almost as (if not, more) ubiquitous as cash between people in my area.

Who said anything about unions stopping layoffs? GP said they can negotiate who gets laid off and what happens to those who do. Unions can be an entirely appropriate and reasonable party.

Or there is the third option: do the layoffs, immediately cut access, then give a generous amount of severance with benefits.

I don't think there are any good points at all in this. On the first 5 (I gave up caring to type up more): > 1. This won’t get new users App Stores are still a discovery mechanism and it's a pain teaching users how to add them

I’m very much aware. I grew up in a poor family and was lucky to break out of the cycle in my 20s. That said, a club typically has people wanting free drinks and people not wanting to reciprocate. This environment is setting oneself up to b

Financial reasons or not, it is an entirely valid choice to decline someone's request for a drink.

The tech sphere is far from the only group of people using social media.

Bezos' wealth is overwhelmingly tied into his Amazon holdings. Something seems off about being able to enter the business of nickle-and-diming while propping up the wealth of a single individual. I can understand the grievance of GP.

I really don’t understand the “why” here. As a toy project it’s interesting but the actual justification to actually use IRC seems to come after the implementation. This isn’t derived from the stability of IRC itself but the network operato

The author's baseless accusations wrapped in snark sounds incredibly petty. Given this is how the instance admin handles defederation, preemptive defederation of this network makes sense.

It's a fantastic and quick project! I use two layers of thin black foam. The top layer of foam sheet has cut-outs for the various types of media except microSD card, which is held in place with a small dab of glue. They're pressed

I have a frame of various media over the years over my desk including a 5.25" floppy, a 3.5" floppy, ZIP disk, CD, Blu-Ray, SD, microSD, etc. As a technical person, my mind keeps getting blown.

It's not like Google is unbiased here, especially with their ownership of Jibe. Most RCS messages in the US are/will be going through Google...

How is this relevant? Apple doesn’t charge for iMessage. It is a service offered strictly to users of Apple devices.

Misconfiguring or granting something unnecessary privileges is enough to eliminate anything as a security boundary. VMs easily give a false sense of security especially with any kind of network-based trust.

Reread my comment as this was already addressed. I explicitly stated products other than produce and meats are in the category of foods that typically are difficult to gauge quality of. To specifically list out the products I'm talking

What comparison can one realistically do in a grocery store between most products? The packaging disguises a lot of characteristics of the products being sold unless you're strictly looking at produce or raw meats.

Let's do away with self-checkout and standard checkout. The model Amazon promotes with full delivery is where we ought to go as it'll save so much land and space in the long-term. In the near-term, the model adopted by Walmart, Ta

Abusing the market is also deeply detrimental to social cohesion. Many market actors have an expectation of fairness with the parties they transact with, but this expectation can only be realized if parties maintain some degree of honesty w

If that's the case, it's possible the money could be considered spent to overdevelop an area that will now be underutilized and will create an increase in maintenance costs for no good reason.

Various forms of social media have been a critical part of the internet ever since consumers started getting access to the internet on dialup. People signing up for a service with a sufficiently large userbase isn’t a recent phenomenon.

I agree that if at any point you suspect the pricing isn't fair in any transaction, it's up to you to leave. If someone checks Yelp and sees red flags on tipping but still decides to go and complain about it, they're being a

Why is "stiffing the staff" bad but surprise pricing to customers is tolerable? If the pricing practices are disclosed up front, yeah that's clearly stiffing the staff, but that's simply not the case here. I'm refer

At a certain point "take the ball and go home" becomes the rational decision if a player in the game isn't being treated fairly. In this case, tipping zero becomes the simplest option. Tips encourage artificial menu pricing,

Religion is far from the only venue to explore the purpose and meaning of one's life. I think religion is declining because people are discovering there are many ways to perform self-discovery and practice fulfillment. The only aspect

Not really. At least Windows Mobile and PalmOS let you install anything very easily. It was just difficult initially finding apps.

How would this even work? A rehabilitation program requires a very high level of trust from those seeking help, especially so if the program is trying to pull people off of the streets. Re-criminalizing drug usage would make it difficult to

I really don't agree with any of your examples here, or the combativeness of your comment. Roof work is usually a fair bit more deterministic than software. For car work, it's not uncommon where I am for the tire guy, the vehicle
