Probably not too difficult to make the app itself. To build the network of drivers to make a consistent enough service to attract users(and then more drivers to expand further) is the tricky part. + insurance and regulation, when they start

This is what I was thinking/ further reading the article confirmed. Takes ‘I digress’ into a new dimension. Had to abort midway through.

I think that is what is being said. Effexor is not addictive in the ‘traditional’ sense addictive drugs are, but you’re brain and body become dependent on them in ways you don’t realize until you’re trying to come off of them. And because i

Very well put. My primary care doctor was happy to prescribe at the recommendation of my psychologist. When I spoke to my psychologist initially, I took the approach you mentioned about suspecting I had it based on the symptoms and what oth

I got diagnosed at 29 also and had almost an identical experience to yours and the person above you. I often think of what a difference it would have made to know earlier (in so many ways). >>Life is too short to waste time fighting a

No protections in place and blindly trusted her kid. It is her responsibility to manage her passwords, not Amazon / twitch / whoever else. A shitty situation for sure but if she wants the $ press charges, if she doesn’t want to pr

My friend used to live in a building like this. It is assumed that everyone else in the building is equally rich and also have their own floor, so they would be able to ride up with you as you would with them. The problem now with air BNB i

Someone I worked with had a nephew who spent $4000 on I think it was FarmVille in one month. It took them a while but they were able to recover the money because the kid was underage and using the parents credit card.

It would be interesting if it were possible to create a tool of some sort that distorts your personal data and or floods irrelevant data along with it so it is not so easily collected. For example any time your location is provided it also

My trust in zoom is lost regardless of how they handle things from here on out.

From what I understand it is more of a social engineering attack, deployed after the attacker has gained the personal information required to gain access to an account (which used to be sufficient, but in the Information Age we live in, a p

I find it crazy (among the other things mentioned too) that taxpayers are subsidizing cheap prison labor for major corporations. Also crazy to me is the cost to house inmates in many states being more than the national average in terms of i

As a beginner myself I wouldn’t even know where to begin to contribute to something like Kubernetes and agree with your point. Those projects have a lot of eyes on them and the talent to follow, what value could I add as a beginner that som

I guess more simply put, as a millennial I don’t really want to pay for something I’ve received for free for the majority of my life and as mentioned in the article, the value to satisfy my curiosity just isn’t there.

Paywalls drive me absolutely nuts on sites like the New York Times. I get it, they have to make money and physical newspaper sales are dying. Surviving in a digital age, sure. For some reason I am more likely to seek out the information els

I feel like that is the norm for small companies. It has certainly been my experience albeit outside of any engineering or development roles so far. They don’t have the resources (their own time, especially a start up, or money to hire) to

Also notable is that if you go to that section of their site (‘scraping API’), they don’t mention its deprecation and are still advising users upgrade to Pro to scrape. I guess they can’t figure out how to charge enterprise clients more tha

Been teaching myself to code for the last few months and have noticed the same thing. It is hard to develop skills on small projects and being a part of a bigger one in any capacity is what I was aiming for, so I check periodically. 3-5 yea
