Navigation is all about the DATA . If it worked better (or worse) in a certain location, it is solely because they have access to quality data. Quality data costs a lot. Companies like NavTech used to literally drive cars down the road (th

Quite true. Additionally, there are raised expectations around wanting a perfect experience. My college in the 90s was block wall room with bunk beds and communal bathroom on the floor. Today everyone wants a private bedroom, shared kitchen

Classic "tell me you have never been a teacher without telling me you have never been a teacher". Are there bad teachers? Of course. There are bad employees in all industries. But teaching is an extremely difficult job that unde

You are forgetting three things that changes a lot for home buyers: * The government lets you deduct your mortgage interest from taxes * The house will appreciate in value over the term of a 30 year loan (almost certainly) * You are paying

Agreed but you can try to work in healthcare or education that have a more linear potential "good" as opposed to propagating more meme and lols. I agree that OP has to decide to take a pay cut for a more socially focused compan

Well said. The best strategy is to always just say "Yes, thanks!" whenever they offer you something they do decide to get rid of. My grandma used to bring boxes of junk to family reunions and put it on a free table. My sister an

Not a video game or with combat like that but there is a board game called Space Cadets. It is what you say in that each player has their own role but it is also real time and quite frantic. I'm sure there are lots of YT video reviews

Serious question: Do you think no people have been harmed by crypto? My guess is by the end, 10s of thousands of people will have been seriously financially harmed.

Not all STEM is created equal. While there may not be thousands and thousands of jobs for a biology PhD, there are over 1 million open software/IT jobs. The good paying jobs are focused on what we value as a society. Clearly we value t

Correct. While funny, this would be nothing but a rules nightmare and source of arguments for players. Would never happen.

Well said. I think the key point you make is that we are paid to maximize the value of the business . If the business isn't profitable, we could all lose our jobs. Too many IC feel that if the company isn't maximizing their pers

There is a simple solution. It also give middle class an actual shot at an exit even without hitting a unicorn. This is for the groups that went to state schools not the Ivys. Take a group of 4-6 CS grads and maybe a business major. The par

Let me be more specific, this should work in apps not just the browser and should work with my logging into my laptop in the browser and leveraging my phone as a FIDO "key".

by snarf21 4y ago
I wish FIDO was built into the phones (enclave) requiring a biometric and passcode. For 99% of users this would be superior to email/password and get rid of a lot of hacks/phishing. It doesn't require extra hardware to buy an

I should have phrased this differently. It wasn't meant as binary choice. Necessary but not sufficient. I was also just trying to say that I personally am more worried about the carrier than Apple. "Also, don't forget that

by snarf21 4y ago
You are forgetting that phones are pinging every tower constantly. Turning off location services is almost meaningless. The carriers know far more about you. If you want privacy, leave your phone at home or put it in a cage.

When hiring, print out all the resumes and place in a pile on your desk. Take the top half and throw them away. You don't want to hire people that are unlucky!!!

Yeah, show the numbers for each book made after the first year of release. I'd consider that more passive.

I disagree completely. You are trading risks and the government protects you in buying. The big problem is that people want to buy a 5 BR / 4 Bath that is the max they can afford so they do get stuck in that cycle. I didn't grow u

Agreed, I only use it for board game design and discussion. If you stay away from politics it is quite valuable and rarely toxic. They have recently even added explicit Communities and that has been good so far.

I disagree but it won't be Hatebook. VR/AR porn will become huge in the next few years, including with connected devices. The main deterrent is getting the cost of the hardware down and Hatebook is doing it for them. If Pornhub we

It sounds like you are maybe eating as a stress reaction. I think a therapist might be a better healthcare professional to help you than a GP. They can then also ascertain if you need to be referred to a psychologist so that you can get the

This is a bad plan. Why would any 21 year old ever pay? Just ignore this debt until it is discharged. So you have to wait 7 years to buy a house? That sounds like no big deal. What we should do is have the fed define a maximum allowable cha

Agreed. People today seem so focused on other people being "wrong" and no one is interested in this kind of thoughtful discourse.

I really wish this debate would move to be more about preference rather than right/wrong. Everyone works better in certain situations. We aren't robots. There are enough companies giving everyone a choice that everyone should just

Wow, well that was well handled by the professor. Some people never learn the lesson that some things are true whether you believe them or not.

Yes, it is like a co-morbidity. These are factors that amplify each other. Salt is likely fine if you don't have kidney or liver issues. However, heavy salt on top of trans fats and high sugar and .. and .. and .. is likely hard on our
