I know this sounds bad, but the arbitrary is that the Ubers aren't designed to be as safe as possible currently - they're designed to be testbeds of the new fully autonomous technology uber is developing. Maybe it makes sense to

Two very different user bases though. Craigslist is more of a, 'Go there to accomplish specific task' end point. Reddit is more of a, 'hang out here when your bored!' type of thing. The former just has to work and work c

A camera that allows you to 'focus after the fact'. Actually pretty sweet tech; though it never really caught on.

Depends on the size and life of the project and average term of service. If your project is a decade old and massive, where many on the team have been on the project for 5+ years - Yes, a 'newbie' needs a (non-trivial, 1 year cou

Those companies are all markedly larger and pull revenue from other places also. what % of iTunes profit today comes from Music vs (movies/books/app/etc)? Spotify is uniquely vulnerable on that front.

That riles me up, it's comparing ~2500usd (adjusted) appliances with ~200usd appliances while glossing over actual cost to consumer or equivalent priced quality .

Take your camera, set the shutter to 2 seconds on a tripod. After 1s, spin the camera. If you setup exposure correctly, you'll end up with a photograph with a sharp subject from the first 2s, and an ephemeral blur from the movement f

So the camera is creating the 'art' not the user.

'Just' - but many need to do that through a legal department, so that requirement would be a dead stop unless there was an extreme advantage gained vs alternatives.

Not OP, but I read that as the codebase is compartmentalized poorly. Agile works best when you can dip in, fix something small, and move on. If you need to change half the codebase to do a small thing; it may make sense to combine multip

Agreed - it's a balance.

There should be no issue with compositing - photography itself is Art, choosing a smaller or larger aperture or shutter speed changes the image just like Photoshop - no reason to draw arbitrary lines. Now, being clear about what* creative c

This is one of the key points to me - NFL actively hid the fact from their own fans and players for years. That should have been a much bigger deal I think, criminal negligence.

This. The differences in failure rate aren't worth the risk.

guaranteed minimum income. Honestly; that's the future (and dream?) the closer we get to a post-scarcity economy. Are we there yet? I'm not sure; but... maybe in some areas of the US...? Lots of issues with abuse though until p

Honestly; engineers '100k/year' salaries are also distorted by the false floor on the job market. I'm honestly not sure if actually for the higher or lower, though I do know goods/services tied to minimum wage are

To be fair; their biggest example is a company pulling out after functionally going bankrupt. That's more to do with 'be careful who you play ball with' and general risk of doing business at all than method used. They compl

not true - we have a historically stagnant minimum wage artificially deflating salaries; they are surprisingly not market or economy based in many fields, simply '2usd more than minimum wage, y our doing great!' .. when minimum

Amazon is an interesting example. Yes, they grossly reinvest rather than pay dividends, but they don't invest in employee pay/compensation directly ('wastes' as per common view of what wall street wants)

No one mentioned ratio, this is about 'injustice/abuse of tech' not volume. For comparison, even with the BS behavior in OP, Turkey is about 285/100,000 incarceration rate. The US of A is at 666/110,000, over doubl

But different technologies support different speeds. Fiber can do symmetric much easier than cable can as an example, and cable is much more ubiquitous.
