Good point. A google search also shows that since "fun" has only recently migrated from a noun to an adjective, the -er/est forms are not yet accepted, but will likely become standard over time.

Honest question. When I read a sentence like this: "the guys at Lyft got to talking with the guys at Rover and they decided to work together instead." Does "guys" imply the teams are all male? Is that relevant, or just r

Agreed; the idea of hiring a musician without hearing them play would be madness. Not handing me a recording, not discussing intricacies of music theory, but actually playing live. And yet, a talented studio musician may suffer from perfo

Actually driverless cars have the potential to add a vast number of cars to the roads. Today, there's a limit of one car per driver. In the future, one car per same-day package delivery.

One, our government has robots that kill people from the sky. Two, this sounds like some kind of libertarian fantasy that being armed makes you "freer". Government provides law enforcement which is the only reason you get to enjo

The issue from the kids' viewpoint is this: They expect to be rich and retired in ten years. Anyone still working after that point must have failed in some way, and they don't want to spend their time at work staring into the ey
