I have never used WeChat Pay or the tipping function, since they're both only available in China, but I really don't like that this article essentially says that this issue is "iPhone vs WeChat" for Chinese citizens, bec

What's the usefulness of this? Part of the reason I ask is because while I would trust a UI designer to design the layout, colors, for an application, I think font design isn't as simple because there's a lot of factors that

The reason that Japan and the US act differently is not due to tips but due to culture. In the US if there's some kind of issue that person will likely complain but unless it's egregious they probably will return to wherever it ha

If you prefer to read what I posted that way, then that's your prerogative. I am simply stating that this isn't some kind of zero sum game or that it's black and white. I even stated (which you conveniently left out) that he

I don't think that's quite fair. He absolutely deserves a lot of criticism for the things that happened under his watch as Uber CEO, but he did create a giant company that has the highest(?) valuation of any SV startup. He deserve

Funny enough, if you take the first and put it into babeljs.io, it will cause it to crash the tab.

I do agree that you don't make a dent, but it's a nihilistic point of view, because you're disregarding the ethics point of view. Sure, you don't make a dent in Amazon personally, but you make a conscious effort in your

The better solution, although Airbnb has fought this, is to pass regulation forcing hosts to register with the city and forcing Airbnb to validate the host's registration through some means. Airbnb postulates that it's not up to i

Wow, I had no idea they upped the tourist visa days this year! I knew it was 15 days (for US citizens) when I was doing some research into visiting Kyrgyzstan, and found the number a little weird because it's not a multiple of 30 days

Let me put it another way: I don't understand your argument, so I clarified and asked if your argument was X. You said it's not, so what is your argument?

> So maybe if you can't do something reliably, and there are risks to getting it wrong, the proper response isn't 'hold my beer?' Is the argument that this shouldn't be done because it can't be perfect?

I can kind of understand the vilification of this feature, and the reasons for that are explained in other comments on this post, but I think it's a major improvement to how it would have been before, and on other current platforms as

You can be outraged at the lack of empathy surrounding the events that you describe and still give empathy to someone who is suffering a loss. It's not zero-sum.

Not every "personal tragedy" is the same, and losing someone close to you like a parent is a pretty major one.

I think because a lot of people don't know Travis personally (including myself) it's easier to not empathize with what's happened, especially if you've never felt the same loss, because he's essentially reduced to t

I'm in no way a fan of Uber, and I have a hard stance on not taking it anymore due to the company's actions in the past, but I really wish his possible leave of absence wasn't spun as a result of the investigation done by Hol

Are there statistics or studies on how much one average person consumes from an e-cigarette compared to a regular cigarette?

Is that for Chase, or J.P. Morgan? My understanding is that Chase doesn't offer a 2FA besides SMS and when I go into my account settings I don't see anything that lets me enable 2FA.

Sadly, USAA is only open to military service members and their kids. That would be my choice if I could use it.

Can anyone recommend a US based bank (or a bank that accepts US customers) that 1) has either a 2FA token for phone e.g. with Google Authenticator, a hardware token, or some kind of other token based factor; and 2) has strong security when

I agree on a lot of your points. Since a website is interactive, I think its animation should be present but unobtrusive or subtle. Given the choice between too much/too strong animation and no animation, I'd choose the latter. Fo

Maybe, but this suit rules only on patents and you can't infer beyond that. Take, for example, this line in the case (on page 10, under pp II A): > The single-use/no-resale restrictions in Lexmark’s contracts with customers may

I do think that eventually you will be able to buy the parts for repairing your phone from the manufacturer (how that system will be set up, I'm not sure) but I would imagine that software locks would also be tied to that. As in, the s

I wouldn't assume that everyone knows about the death of his mother. I didn't until you posted the article. In this case, the comment was relevant to its parent because the parent was adding an anecdote about the number of people
