Are you sure you're not being patronizing towards rural communities yourself by presuming that they are not interested in fast internet access? Not to mention presuming their views on things like immigration (farms hire a lot of immi

It's always amazing to watch people who have never committed crimes try to solve them. See how much sense that statement makes?

But it doesn't solve the pollution problem. Why should a person be allowed to pollute more just because they have more money? Why is their convenience more important than everyone else's well being?

What if those disabled people want to work, though? Why should their opportunities be limited to basic income when you and I do not have the same limitations? Would you not find being carried around by two musclemen to be humiliating? Are t

Well "logical" just leads us down a weird path here. Is it "logical" to hire disabled employees at all? It's a lot of work to make your office accessible, so the "logical" answer would be to only hire able

And this is why companies offer you stock on a vesting schedule that keeps you around. The author knew it would be a shitshow before they even started. But took the job because of the stock. Started at the job, found it to be terrible. Stuc

Compared to Uber they're still small. But I recall an article not so long ago talking about the tracking WeWork had installed in their offices that gave them startling insights like "people tend to drink more coffee in the morning

Realistically, if you drive the wrong way down a one lane road in a parking lot there's a good chance you're going to get stuck because someone else will be driving the right way. It's not... good?

The one time you should unwrap it is if it's a constant - that way the app will always immediately crash if it's nil. Pretty difficult to not run into a bug like that. But if you're creating it dynamically you should be gua

Interesting, in my experience (in NYC) Seamless and the like absolutely do not employee the delivery drivers. They are employed by the restaurants. Though apparently in some areas they do employ drivers: https://ny.eater.com&#x2F

It's nebulous. Apps that employ(/contract/whatever) their delivery drivers separately from the restaurant have a clear picture, but when you leave a tip on a site like Seamless the money goes to the restaurant. You certainly

I'd say it depends on percentages. The vast, almost entire majority of leggings are not scams. A notable number of cryptocurrencies are scams.

Hyperbole, much? It's a photo sharing site with ads. The rest is capitalism. If you want to fix that you're going to need to go a lot broader than Instagram.

"Scam" is a broad term. The technical basis of bitcoin can be 100% solid and it can still be a "scam" in the sense that it's been sold as a get rich quick scheme for speculative investors rather than an actual, day-
