While the salary thing isn't everything, it still is a very important thing. And unless there's significant upside, most people I know aren't going to be interested in a job where they have to take a 30% cut. Especially if th

At the same time, business has proven time and again that they cannot be trusted with things like this. So some other way needs to emerge.

Any kind of pay break would be abused to no end by employers. Not to mention that one still needs to pay bills and live while in the apprenticeship, and minimum wage already doesn't cover that. So you'd be in a situation where onl

Because back then, it entirely depended on who your family was to determine the level of education someone got. If you were born into a rich family, congratulations. If you were born into a poor family, you're lucky if you get taught h

No. I have not, nor will I ever buy into the propaganda that Uber was out to do anything to regulations. They were out to make money, and they decided they didn't have to follow the law. That's it.

>Giving "kickbacks" is just another word for "charging customers less money". No, it's not. It's another word for bribing the person in the company in charge of selecting insurance.

No. Uber ran into the problem that they were a taxi company, but they didn't want to abide by the taxi company regulations.

It's not just a website, though. There's the services offered through the website. And while there might be some competitors that come in (no guarantee of that), it'll still take time. Time which the entrenched monopoly can u

That's not the regulator's problem, though. That's Uber's problem to figure out, without acting in an anticompetitive manner.

People who like to advocate "meritocracy" continually forget that actual people have to be the ones that decide what the "merit" is that is judged, and who has more merit than others.

We don't get a higher standard of living. We're able to buy more stuff per unit, that's true. But, our trading partners buy less stuff per unit. This is very important given that we live in a global economy, and that's n

Are there better terms to use than "strong" and "weak" when it comes to this stuff? One of the problems with using those is the emotional impact of those words. A Strong currency makes your goods more expensive for peopl

That's not really an OS level thing, though. That's an application level thing. Finder was chosen not to be extensible, and Explorer was. There are Finder replacements that are.

That would be nice. I myself am someone who can't stand doing UI work in code, and prefer to lay it out visually if possible.

What about UI? Are you forced to do layout in code, or are you able to load in Xibs or Storyboards?

I might. Otherwise I'll remap Caps lock to Esc, or use the other shortcut. And for me, the touch bar is one of the coolest things I've seen on a laptop in a long time. It has a huge potential, and is going to be much more useful t
