Perhaps ruining specific parts of Europe, but I think it’s unfair to say tourists have ever ruined an entire country or even city. Usually there’s just small easily avoidable areas if you don’t want to deal with crowds and overpriced food.

The problem is if you shut down these sites you’re only making it harder for people like Erica who now cannot make money on the side to pay bills.

I predict that in this thread it will be easy to distinguish between users who read the article vs those who read the headline. If the translations are accurate he also commends the group of female officers for their work.

I wouldnt really mind either way. Why do you need the doctor to be there? How would that change anything? You’re still going to die, why waste the doctors time by forcing them to drive over and deliver the news personally?

I see comments as sort of a fallback when I don’t have time or can’t think of a more readable solution to a problem. I believe this is the rational presented in the “clean code” book

This is a bit of a snowball fallacy no? Those horror stories while sounding plausible are not a necessary outcome of this. I suspect they’re not going to learn as much as you may think from cameras in the soda aisle. I think they could actu

I mean if you think about it the effects from the drug are caused by the human brain, thus the human brain should be able to recreate something similar to it if it wanted to. Sort of like how people report having “acid flashbacks” /my

I never understood the 'don't give a number first' law from all these blogs. If I know the upper bound of my potential salary, why wouldn't I throw out that number (or a bit above) and try to stick to it? What's the

Don't see the big deal about yet another screen/ advertisement platform, especially in a public convenience store. The fact that 'it watches you' is a creepy for sure, but don't forget they've already got video

I disagree somewhat. If the goal of a project is to teach a different skill and it may cause too much of a headache to add a real server this service might make sense. It’s like when you’re learning a new spoken language. It’s better to pra

banking services aren’t exactly a right, they have the right to refuse service to anyone they want. So under certain circumstances, eg, you have a bad credit history, are not a citizen, or don’t have enough money, it can be difficult to ope

You're right that crypto is pretty useless for people like you and I who have access to high quality bank services. But to people who don't really have access to legitimate bank services they're a godsend.

There’s a bunch of bitcoin atms that have been popping up recently. The exchange rate is awful, though, I personally would never use one unless I absolutely had to.

I have a friend in SF who’s addicted to the startup hustle I’ve been trying to convince he should really just get a “normal” tech job for a while. It hurts to watch him struggle with money and I don’t know how feasible it is to start your o

In my experience if you avoid TripAdvisor/yelp restaurants and attractions, limit the number of pictures you take, and avoid buying souvenirs you can still travel but not feel like a vapid tourist. Not that there’s anything wrong with

I disagree. If your employees are desperate to work for you, exhausted, and utterly dependent that’s when unethical products are built. Employees with more mobility and freedom are less likely to get their hands dirty unless their sick perv

I sort of like that part of remote life. As horrible as it may sound, I never really cared for my coworkers lives outside of work. I have enough friends and family to worry about that remote life gives me way more time to spend with them.

Tell somebody who’s staring down a box of fruity loops its not bland goo. I 100% agree with your analogy, though, I used to eat oatmeal every morning cause it’s so easy, cheap, and filling. Nowadays it’s a blueberry muffin instead, making b
