If you've ever dealt with police in other countries (I have everywhere from France to Zimbabwe), the interactions are amazingly more peaceful. As a former US Marine (Afghanistan and Iraq), the hyper-vigilant police mentality I see more

Totally agree. The smugness here is absolutely off-putting. Generally whenever anything that had a chill, egalitarian, hippyish vibe (think yoga, farmers markets, actual communes) becomes an LLC or corp charging thousands of dollars for o

Yeah, I'd still rather be able to walk around naked in my kitchen and sleep with my significant other without people listening. I don't need to live in an adult hostel to have friends and meet interesting people.

Did anyone else think "10M is an absolute drop in the bucket"? I mean seriously, this is such a small amount of money that due diligence could have consisted of 'does the website look good?'. It's not like they can&

No matter what Uber does, they always please me with stuff like this. It makes the anarch-libertarian blood run warm to see government cronies routinely bested and consumers offered superior services in a market that was ripe for innovation

And time for me to go home and test this out!! Now I actually have something to look forward to!

You're resume would only be a problem if the company was looking for good little worker bees who don't ask questions and who will take shit all day long and ask for more. It's almost the perfect filtering mechanism for crap c

Although in this case, Pao isn't resigning from anything she put blood, sweat and tears into. Rather she showed up to a fully functioning project, kicked a hornets nest she had no right to kick based on a personal worldview of how peop

Apparently a ton of people want to read that content. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean someone else doesn't as well. Welcome to the internetz.

Sweeping generalizations based on race and gender aren't helpful in this discussion. He is I'm sure a complex and multifaceted individual, just like we all are.

This is why I have a burner phone and an SF address for salary negotiations. Then my W2 goes to Austin, TX to avoid all state taxes. #winning

> I cried and many of them cried. It was emotional for everyone. Some were angry and some were already focused on what to do next. I don't find this behaviour particularly galvanizing in a leader. Your feelings and tears aren't

Great thing about having an EU passport is that this situation doesn't even come up.

Work at Wal-Mart every day. Fix cars every day. Perform brain surgery every day. Fly passenger jets every day. Flip burgers every day. Hmmm. Doesn't really seem like a great idea.

Great takeaway. Debt tends to make 'good little workers'. Stay free my friends!

It's wrong to deny women a means to safely practice a trade and participate in the greater economy. When you make it illegal, you force them underground and remove any protections they could have had.

Prions are the stuff of nightmares. Imagining these folding proteins running haywire in my brain scares the hell out of me. Time to go vegan?
