It is a numbers game (no puns intended). Let's say we have 100k people that live in a few poor counties where not everyone has government ID and they can't afford to spend time / money to go very far. Now, if 40k of those peo

This is not true. There are a large number of contractors working at Google, Facebook and other companies in engineering and other skilled roles. Their contracts are from 3 to 6 months long. If you're in a bind and need a job, you get

I think you were just trying to divide and conquer. It's hard to compete with twins! ;)

How much does this matter if automakers are putting out electric cars and trucks that are more reliable than their gasoline cousins? People will buy the vehicle that provides the best value, won't they?

I think you're talking about Kashmir. I wish you'd provide more context for what you just said. I think it'd be better to start a separate thread than to take this one off-topic.

The 2nd Gulf War - the US tried very hard to get more allies to join the war effort. Colin Powell's WMD presentation to the United Nations was part of the effort. Very few people in international circles, especially those familiar with

I wonder why Google is being chosen as the first target. Why not Amazon or Apple? Those companies operate marketplaces where they compete with their own vendors directly. Does Google do the same to anywhere near the same degree?

This reminds me of an interesting story. The host of The Portal podcast, Eric Weinstein went on the Joe Rogan show where he shared a story: he used to get very easily sun burnt. No chance of getting a tan. He'd just burn. Then, one day

I dunno, man - I agree with you that there are way too many variables at play, but the bit about innovation.. Technology as en enabler of things. Not all tech is easily accessible on day 1 though. Industrialization for example, was capital-

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to just be nice to fellow drivers and gain business.

One possibility would be to build a more accurate social graph. So, let's say you have 500 friends on Facebook, but only 50 of those are people you speak to on a regular basis. This helps Facebook better understand your preferences bas

You should build one! And then make it so good that Apple will finally copy it for a future version of MacOS :D

What about the opposite? Exclusively marked as tested and assumed to not be otherwise?

Yup. Easily found in economy vehicles but not often in luxury cars.

Too bad none of them differentiated themselves by not putting anything. I'd love to buy a luxury car that lets me hook up my iPad for all infotainment and GPS. Just give me a nice simple dock that looks good with the rest of the fit an

That is pretty interesting! Maybe it is a generational backlash to social media accounts =). I have two pretty young friends (early 20s) - one met his significant girlfriend through other friends on a night out. The other met his girlfriend

When I was a kid, I just thought that all couples who lived together were "married". It didn't matter whether there was a ceremony, or a legal contract. They lived together, made out with each other (ew), and since they were

I don't have data to back this up, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone who gets married today is more likely to meet their husband / wife online. There are a few reasons for this. - Lower risk of looking bad. Date didn&#x2

Maybe it isn't what you're saying but how you say it that gets you downvoted. It is much more difficult to ask someone to stop doing something than to encourage them to do an alternative thing. Suggest how the alternative activity

I'd rather mark a function as "async" than to constantly do the mental gymnastics of whether a function is going to run synchronously or asynchronously, or even worse, always assuming that it'll run asynchronously and al
