And so, going by your logic, it's not that bad because it also occurs elsewhere? How is that not dismissiveness?
It shouldn't be occurring elsewhere either. SV currently has the media's focus. Hopefully they'll embrace better ethics and become an example for other industries to follow.
(Or maybe they'll just no longer accept to give female entrepreneurs money. What a sorry world if that's the end game.)
You could also heavily tax extreme revenue and extreme wealth, and then pay everyone a universal income so that would-be entrepreneurs can bootstrap their business without desperately needing a big wad of money.
The industrial cat food you find in stores is choke full of nutrients that are pointless for obligate carnivores. It's akin to feeding kids with cookies and candy bars on grounds that there's a bit of flour and nuts in them.
Not to mention the severe lack of water in the case of dry food. Cats get the bulk of their daily water intake through their food, and only partially compensate the lack of intake by drinking more if you give them dry food.
Using SVN day in day out is far too slow with non-trivial repos.
(I hear git and hg can be slow too when used with very large repos. But, as I understood, this primarily is when first cloning a repo or during large fetches. In stark contrast with SVN, you don't end up with enough time to make coffee or walk your dog each time you commit.)
Not disagreeing, but by that reasoning pretty much everyone and anyone is an immigrant in their own country, bar perhaps a handful of tribes in Africa.
Safari on Mac usage dropping is no surprise. I'm still resisting, but an ever increasing number of SaaS products only work properly in or offer browser plugins for Chrome. Starting with Google's own products (docs, third party gmail plugins plugins, etc.).
Didn't they change the definition of deportations during the Obama administration, so as to count random aliens that were caught crossing the border in addition to the usual ones that were detained before being sent back?
Not saying one way or another - or that doing so - is right or wrong, or that one had more merit than the other. Just pointing out that comparing Bush stats and Obama stats is apples to oranges. (Apples to apples has Bush Jr throwing out a tiny bit more aliens if memory serves.) $.02.
Unless you're engaged in some seriously illegal activity that you rather enjoy conducting on your smartphone, perhaps you should *really* sit and think about those charges before making such a statement. Gut feeling is a criminal record will impact you a hell of a lot more than your Facebook data being confiscated.

DDG was ok for generic queries but sucked ass last I tried it for anything technical. Has it improved substantially since the Snowden revelations for day to day programming queries?
At the same time, there never has been a time where housing was so overpriced either. Granted, prices dropped in the past decade after the bubble popped, but they're still way above their historical mean in terms of house price vs household income.
We're still in bubble territory, except perhaps in places like Detroit. Where I live it's something like 10x+ household income, which is nothing short of nuts. (Historical mean is 3-4x). If you're taking a 100 mortgage for something worth 50 in the long term, possibly 25 at the low, and you end up stuck with the tab when the market will come down crashing. Low interest or not, it's a super pricy loan.
Then again, why should anyone waste their time reading "news" written by crack pots in the name of, what again?
Personally speaking I've little interest in reading the sewers that your father is reading (no offense) in the name of trying to comprehend their worldview, beyond an article here and there to get a feel of how below the belt they stand.
IMO the real issue is the American (and increasingly European) belief that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, which is all too often understood as meaning that everyone is entitled their own facts, and which purportedly suggest that all opinions (and facts) have merit. They don't.
In their willingness to avoid confrontation that might hurt another's feeling, or their decision that life's too short for jerks, Americans end up behaving like a toothless, neutered herd. Shrugging instead of calling out crap when you see crap is fine for inane topics at the end of the day. It's not for topics that affect you.
The debt is still around, the bubble just didn't deflate because of the bailouts - it got shifted around like hot potatoes, with the tax payer holding a big one. It's only a matter of time before the next round of crashes.
Would love to think we'll see some handcuffs this time, but, well, Trump.
Imagine 10,000 enterprising, able people suddenly relocated back to their home countries where they will open businesses, employ their countrymen, and add to their own culture's wealth instead of an imperialist power's.
Color me puzzled. In that person's shoes, would you seriously consider setting up a startup in some backwards country, complete with a corrupt adminstration, a dysfunctional court system, no financial backbone, no infrastructure, and an excuse for an education system, if you had the opportunity to do so in a developed country instead?
Might be just me but I can't think of anyone wanting to do that without undergoing some rectal cranial inversion. Maybe a hardcode nationalistic type might. Just maybe.

That liability won't be worth squat for the people involved if they get killed.
What might be MS's liability if old time XP users sue owing to security issues that don't get patched?
I'm not so sure anyone will laugh if he ends up dragging the US in a major war though.
FWIW Luxembourg was, culturally and historically, part of the Holy Roman Empire. Huge difference.
I'll be shocked when I can believe the virtual reality business is a real thing instead of just hype.
Just wait until VR Porn popularizes it.
... is hopefully an April fools. I've been around for ~20 years, but if this is the site's new face then my eyes just can't take it.
It's not a matter of course that you can do this type of stuff as a woman in the better parts of Asia and Africa.

Aren't voice APIs good enough nowadays to automate transcriptions?

This company deserves to get fined for all it's worth for its rampant trampling of regulations, consumer protection laws, and poisonous work culture.
It boggles the mind that they're still attracting drivers and customers after so many years of being openly obnoxious.

Just have the AI do a full blown rewrite.

According to their Help articles they purge inactive accounts anyway:
