Yes. It does not refute my point on hipocracy.

Can you do screen share and use a drawing/navigational tablet instead? I've done some whiteboarding interview/collab this way and it's surprisingly effective for a lower cost and higher resolution.

You purposefully misconstrued the argument to sideline any criticism. Don't attack people in defense of a company's honor, it owes nothing to you.

You are right. I suppose I am too loose with my understanding of action as a byproduct of external influence versus direct sponsorship. As an example, the former would be a vague cultural sublimation of influence from a position of power, a

Are the fines more of a signal (i.e. fines for jaywalking) or are they more cut in stone and expecting recuperation?

This is not okay considering non-violent offense is heavily prosecuted, especially among minority communities. Please consider a more nuanced argument.

I would take it at face value for now. I think astroturfing can be emmergent and dangerous regardless of political execution or oversight.

Good suggestion. I felt after writing the comment that I was out of my depth.

Is "NIMPYism" a product of investment, in that homeowners are incentived to protect their property value? I would argue that burgeoning or prospective homeowners are passive proponents of derisive action, in respect to your argume

Means of compliance should be taken into account. Persecution for not having that priviledge should be heavily scrutinized.

If there's a systemic problem, I believe it should be reiterated until an acceptable resolution is found. It is systemic, so we should recognize that an individual's reinforcement of the problem is a small part. There is a greater

I don't understand the downvotes. Perhaps there's added complexity in having these two distinct contracts anyways? I think there's an argument to be make for salary augmentation via commissions. This is at least more secure a

They aren't being rude, just increasing the sample size and reporting back. Perhaps we're witnessing SEO for different regions, regulations, and aggregate history of the two.

It's definitely a spectrum that transcends anecdotes. I'm colored by people saying one thing and doing another, but I always keep an open mind because of this; looking for proof of action rather than intent. In that case, I think

Fair enough. Sorry for the hostility. I agree with you on the luxury angle. I think some portion of the cost should be passed to the consumer, but I am also in favor of the drivers being on payroll to "flatten" variability in orde

I can only chalk it up to a combination of misaligned incentives, cost cutting, and legacy technology. These vary with locality but wear the same veneer. Some aspects are surprisingly seamless. Some are seamless but hidden behind unnecessar
