Because a single payer would, by definition, cover everyone. Private insurance companies and employers (the two places most Americans get their health insurance from) may not want to pay for the higher costs associated with higher risk peop

There's no need for an Origin header and the SSL cert would match. That's the whole premise of domain fronting. You send the request to whatever IP resloves as Google.com, but when you make the request, your Host header is for the

Because of the nature of HTTPS, combined with Websockets, would give you a really easy way to proxy yourself out of restrictive internet situations. Use an HTTPS connection to Google to domain front to an App Engine instance that has this r

I'm not saying they shouldn't get a living wage before tips, they should. In fact, if we got rid of the minimum wage exceptions for servers, we would immediately revert tipping to what it was intended to be, incentive for good ser

Whether they mean to or not, Uber has been making the drivers less and less human. Now it's backfiring. Lyft includes tipping in the UI, after the ride. As a result, their drivers don't have as much of a reason to hustle for tips.

I'm more dismayed that the thought of giving another human being a little extra money to thank them for good service is so painful to people that they try to avoid it at all costs. Uber's model feels like it's trying to make

I exclusively use Lyft because they allow tipping. If someone gives me a good, comfortable ride, I want to be able to easily throw a couple of bucks their way. If I'm taking a car service, then I can afford a few extra dollars. Plus, w

I agree that talking about a $0.7X to the dollar pay gap isn't helpful, since it isn't controlled for a number of factors. But there still is a pay gap of 2-20%, , depending on the industry, attributable only to difference in gend

Except for two things: 1. Women are expected (societally) to be more accommodating and compliant throughout most aspects of their lives, meaning they have less practice and comfort negotiating. 2. Even when women do negotiate, they end up b

- What are you missing that browser plugins add? - Cards do have stable URLs. Not sure why you think they don't. - A Github url to a commit will link to that URL. Powerups can be used if you want tighter integration. - Very few people

Final will do it. They allow you to create a card for each payee, which you can cancel at any time. https://www.getfinal.com/ (I have a card, but am not otherwise affiliated with them.)

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, you're describing git correctly. If anyone is questioning this, just play with `git rebase -i [some old changeset id]` and you'll see that it's just an ordering of patches.

A lot of it has to do with geography. Europe is quite a bit further north, and doesn't experience some of the heat that the US does. It always helps me to remember that Rome is further north than New York.

How exactly do you close the API to outside requests? It's not hard to reverse engineer most APIs, either by decompiling the app or just watching the wire.

You're picking nits. The intent is clear from multiple reproducible sources. For there to be any issue, the developer (or an assignee) would have to file suit, at which point it would be trivial to demonstrate that it was clearly commu
