Hi there, if it's ok with you I'm going to address subsequent commenters for a moment. Anyone smarter than me, let's focus on this comment. Isn't this the type of social media post that would be immediately dismissed as…
With the important distinction that most investment vehicles represent tangible ownership (of equity in a company, of a debt obligation, of real estate, etc.) Bitcoin exists primarily as something people buy in order to…
Copyright is fairly applied to Disney. There were many beneficiaries to its extension, large and small. In any case, it is a matter of law, just like earlier, shorter copyright protections were. It's totally legitimate…
>The unemployment benefit extension and hack (unemployment + $600) was the real critical mistake that we'll spend a long time fixing. What was the alternative? Existing unemployment benefits are insufficient for…
I was responding to a comment that conflated the worst excesses of admittedly terrible communities on Reddit with the whole of the 'modern right.' My goal was to explain the thinking of those who are accusing Reddit of…
You'll note that I said that there was an 'apparent' double standard. If may not be apparent to you, but it certainly is to some. You seem like you spend more time on the political parts of Reddit than I, so I'm sure…
There are plenty of left-wing subreddits with equal measures of vitriol. Somehow they avoid earning the same opprobrium that the right-wing ones do. This apparent double standard creates the appearance of bias.
People that do any kind of data entry or work in finance learn to use it too. The number pad is not just for cashiers.
Except that they charge $1.50 for everything. Which is only annoying because similar stores in Japan (which for me are a highlight of any trip to Japan) only charge ¥100. I don't know if it's because of proximity to…
I think they've solved it in Singapore. Not that I'm in favor of the methods used.
Is that when you store it in bottles for later?
But vapor isn't smoke.
To be clear, the hot coffee warning is there because a particular McDonald's franchisee elected to keep their coffee at boiling levels and then serve it to unsuspecting customers at the drive-thru. This practice…
Reasonably sure their buying all three automakers would attract the attention of antitrust regulators.
If you're suggesting that Hitler also placed all of the blame on immigrants, you must mistakenly believe that the Jewish people were immigrants to Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe. This was not the case. The Jewish…
Life, uh, finds a way.
Some AirAsia pilots are religious!? My word!
What's wrong with doing that"
Yeah, it's more like people have been waiting for decades for a day of reckoning for Japan in the sense that the country is still very productive in many senses but has yet to escape its extremely long-term recession.…
According to Wikipedia, for Generation X "demographers and researchers typically use starting birth years ranging from the early-to-mid 1960s and ending birth years ranging from the late 1970s to early 1980s." So any…
I think to the extent there's a bigger game it's that Amazon wants to present to its customers a minimally curated selection of products (and sellers) that includes the full gamut of what is available in the wider…
Since Venmo is a subsidiary of PayPal, it's not surprising that the two have similarly anti-consumer policies.
I also noticed a minor mistake on the automatic email acknowledging a signup to the waiting list. Instead of saying 'merrier', as in more merry, it says 'marrier'.
The Uber Pool service doesn't require you to actually be matched. If there doesn't happen to be another rider going in the same direction, you still get the cheaper fare and it's counted as an Uber Pool ride.
It's interesting to me that he uses an iPhone instead of an Android phone. Apple must be fairly far ahead when it comes to accessibility.
