They do have a bearing on other rights though. I issued a blanket statement and wanted to make sure to list that there were exceptions.

Great news. Glad this won't be an issue going into the next presidential election. There's been so much time wasted on this issue when, at the end of the day, any 2 consenting adults should have all of the same rights as any other

Short term vs. long term. The immediate short term loss (probably very small) is income from these apps. The long term gain is company image and being known as a company that "does the right thing". There are countless examples of

hmm How do the driver and rider that are in cahoots ensure that they are paired together for the ride? How much more money does one make using this method vs regular uber driving? Why do accounts need to be bought and sold? is it a small mi

I've always wondered this. Who would subscribe to a newsletter BEFORE they've read an article on the site?

I think that's worth a lot. You don't often see such a sincere apology in situations like this. Very cool on IMAX's part.

Not necessarily, before this article I did not know that the range of screen sizes considered IMAX™, was so large. That's a pretty damning detail Ars slipped in there and will definitely make me think twice when going to the movies.

iirc the desal plant was disassembled and sold to Saudi Arabia sometime in the 90's. I have no reference for this at the moment.

That's a terrible argument. Would you say the same if they only allowed 100kb of data transfer before switching to a throttled service (@ 1/100th the original speed)? What you are doing is allowing them to draw a line in the sand

When they said "investment.interest" I think they meant investment return percentage. I don't think they were advocating for investing on margin and maximizing leverage/risk, but rather deciding whether to put your $ tow

You're conflating the start times of meetings with the start of your personal work day. Sure, no one cares if you come in at 10:25 because you're still going to make the 10:30 meeting. You're not making anyone wait for you...

These aren't 20-something coders living in the valley with an endless list of job opportunities and 30+ remaining working years. These are employees who are very close to retirement who live in an area where Disney is the giant in term

I feel like in such a highly technical field it would be fairly easy to deliberately omit plenty of critical details without anyone noticing. It seems it would also be possible to make small additions to the system such that you would be th

I used to use this at the grocery store/kmart/wherever and just tell them to pick the top name off the list of 50 or so that came up per area code, (woohoo key constraints!) but eventually they caught on. Poor Jenny can't get

I've adopted the same method of dealing with this. Let me provide another anecdote: I went to a new dentist a few weeks ago and greatly confused the staff when I requested they didn't take a picture of me to attach to a personal f

It's already rare in San Francisco. The only difference now between taking a taxi vs uber is convenience and price. Those are admittedly huge factors, but without the clean vehicles and personable drivers they started out with, my bran

Ah that's clever. I'll definitely pick up a cheap secondary "practice" keyboard next time I'm near an electronics store.

I obviously don't know your story or any of the specifics but it might be worth taking a second look at whether or not being pushed while you were scared helped you eventually outgrow those fears.

It makes sense that not all items can be delivered. They still have to retain their profit margins. As automation ramps up and demand for services like this ramps up, the overhead for the markets will go down and it will be easier to offer

Having large strong back muscles pulls your shoulders back and keeps you from slouching. The opposite happens if your chest grows disproportionately larger than your back (whether the weight up front is due to muscle or fat). Also, the core

This is the dream... Unfortunately it doesn't seem feasible to set something like this up in my SF apartment so for now it will have to wait.

Obesity and climbing are a tough combination. I would recommend trying indoor climbing at first and working on routes that don't overhang (wall is <= 90 deg from the angle of the floor). If you work this in with a routine like cycli

Why should they be ashamed of that order? How would you reorganize it? I would say that ordering is pretty much required given the fact that they are a publicly listed consumer technology/software company.

It's also governments that require adherence to civil rights laws, not markets. Governments were required to step in to disallow landlords and service providers from discriminating based on race, sexuality, disability, etc when a free
