Can you expand on this? This seems more like an allegation at this point. I can only think of taxi unions, politicians and such who would want these services to stay around if not grow.

Good point. However, I don't think there is any data collected in this regard (how many actually fulfill their obligation to serve customers with disabilities). At best we can, perhaps, get anecdotes from people who needed such a servi

I don't get this "tax the rich" cop out for every thing that needs funding. It's not your money to take it. Your sympathies for the physically challenged, however, are in the right place and I share them PS: I'm not

As I read it, I thought this is such a well written piece (I thought the author was the pilot himself), and that the pilot must be insanely talented because not only was he a fighter pilot (which requires skill) but he was an adept writer a

The extension makes you use the HTTPS connection when the site you are connecting to is known to support HTTPS. Websites can automatically redirect to HTTPS if the client connects on http, but many websites don't redirect

Next, someone should do a social experiment to let strangers on the internet decide whether a person is fed. This might get way to dark way too fast :)

Is this reasonable to do with number of softwares even average people use? There was a person on the docker team, who had dockerized every other applications like chrome, firefox, ALSA sound server, and more. But even she found it hard to s

This might seem like a brilliant idea, but you'll run out of money before you map all people for all things. If you have so much money (spit balling here), you could buy google itself I think There are easier ways to get data on people

wow! I find the images creepy and amazing at the same time :) PS: It's not so much the images themselves but what they mean i.e. this analysis :)

Either you are missing the point or I am. As I understand random strangers are logged on to tor and invoke each others' callbacks and give back results. Since all of them are anonymized, This is not at all similar to an exit node. The

Well _it is_ crazy. We can't trace an alternate history and work with that. We work with what we have. I think, here, we might looking at it with the wrong lens. I'm unable to find the right words to say this. Let me say this stat

So on-point. Let markets figure it out. All this central planning is annoying me a lot these days

Yeah you might be right, I just took it at face value. Also, I'm pretty unaware of the specific realities in the interaction between planes and the weather. Thanks for pointing this out though

Are you taking the general community's well being into account when you ask for a raise in your salary? You know, if and when you do ask for a raise you're making the product your company produces that much more expensive, you&#x2

Well, _creep_ _shmeep_ (you're just using an ad hominem) you agreed to it when you signed up to free basics. All activities that FB does is according to their ToS and their privacy policies. If you agreed to that, then they are doing i

Well, I'm sure you've heard of company restructuring. A company HQ can be moved anywhere, and a company restructured for legal freedom and tax efficiency. So, in all likelihood the EU Googles and FB will be structured similarly (m

I don't get this excitement we have to control other people's lives. We should not interfere with voluntary transactions. Free markets serve niches not Govts

1) There is no incentive for the Govt to get this right. 2) Besides, govt bureaucrats don't have the ability now (IMHO) to think rationally and get to the best decision 3) Govt has no business to get in the way of voluntary transaction

See the point is you don't have the right to impose your preferences on somebody else(here, rural Indians). Concretely, a rural Indian might be okay with privacy violations as long as they believe this benefit outweighs that. They if g

Well said. To be honest, I was one of those robots (influence by social media) who posted and pushed net neutrality a lot on social media. Now my stance is more free market oriented (libertarian). I think the socialist vs democracy revoluti
