Its understandable why a global hotel chain would have so many employees. Each location needs management staff, supervisors, front desk attendants, housekeepers, etc. Makes sense why AirBnB is so much smaller. It's still curious why th

In my eyes AirBnb is being blamed for taking houses off the market that would have generally be rented out to long-term tenants. This lowers the supply of rentals increasing prices. Lower interest rates just make the situation worse.

I only know about the transition to x86 and from what I remember the benefit was the same architecture as Windows. Since them OSX has gained a lot of market share. Moving to ARM is definitely a step backwards in that regard. I don't kn

What does this mean for software companies whose consumer base is largely on OSX? Will Adobe, Sony, Avid, etc have to port their library of software over to Apple's new ARM architecture? Will this allow for greater freedom with ARM dev

When I stopped using Amazon two years ago I started using ebay almost exclusively. I've never received the wrong item or have had things gotten lost. Maybe I'm just lucky. Even if thats the case, I would rather have an item get lo

Coffee vending machines already exist but aren't able to handle the volume of a busy coffee shop. Also a good barista is able to control quality much more than any super-automatic machine even if it could keep up with production.

Meaning is subjective no matter the economic system. Trillions of dollars spent in advertising also misleads people into valuing the wrong things. I see this as a problem of capitalism.

I would agree that a larger screen is superior but that doesn't mean that is it preferable for everyday usage. I've used phones ranging from 2.5" screens (Unihertz Jelly) to 6.6" screens (Honor Note 6) and it depends on

You can still play songs locally on Spotify, but what it lacks compared to GPM is the ability to upload songs and listen to them on another device.

You spend $100m on stop motion the same way a you spend $100m on any other film: paying people for their technical and artistic skills. Stop motion animation is a very time-intensive and precise art. Or do you not understand why people woul

All rules are just as arbitrary as other rules. A state constitution holds more power than other rule sets but that doesn't make them non-arbitrary.
