Connecting the dots, if Airpods are successful in adoption, this could answer the awkward "You'd look silly holding a watch up to your ear" argument, same with "It's inconvenient to plug a 3.5mm plug into a watch&qu

IANAL, and I'm reading between the (redacted) lines. Did anyone get the sense that Uber's lawyers line of questioning was leading towards the possibility that Alphabet let this theft of their IP happen to catch Uber with their pan

Not trying to throw salt in the argument for democracy, but isn't your argument the digital equivalent of "Why doesn't everyone do everything for themselves to overthrow the dependency on unstable corporations"? It'

Is the argument here that if "net neutrality" goes away, carriers will provide service to "poor, rural area" because they are able to serve their content better than the generally available content on the internet? Not a

I'm very new to the single-payer idea, but Vermont rates 49th for population in the US, California ranks 1st. I thought one of the strengths of a single-payer system was to leverage the power of large numbers to help drive costs down.

Not trying to start a capitalism war, but would an Earned Income Tax Credit be a more viable alternative to higher minimum wages? I've not done the leg work, but the IRS has a lot more info to help determine who's making how much

Late 20's(mid 1990's as a kid) here in Northeast US. I had the same experience growing up, days when it was nice outside, we were expected to not stay in and watch TV, so we would go outside and find things to do. I feel like it&#

I haven't seen an answer that actually addresses this beyond the political divide. The state legislature fear regulation that would limit coal and force a quota of renewable that may be more expensive, while a "cheaper"(coal,

This is an earned income tax credit( https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-in... ). Personally I could get behind the "lower federal minimum wages regulations" if it were met with a &qu

I think all your other points are good, but a response to #4. I think one issue might be that it's ambiguous to enforce. If implemented, could an employer not rephrase the question: "How much would you like to get paid?" and

If this is an attempt by the UAE to prevent TOR connections via DPI, who would the primary target(s) be? I recognize that's an awkward question to ask of an anonymized service like TOR, but who are the actors in the UAE who might use T

The title isn't misleading, "the estimated number of directly-connecting clients" is what is meant by "users". I'm not very familiar with TOR, but does this reaffirm what OP is asking, that this might be DPI ca

Not OP, but he's not saying Elon doesn't deserve credit, he's just saying he doesn't deserve all the credit. The quote makes it sounds like Elon himself build everything alone, rather than being a successful leader, as w

Right? I was wondering if it would be possible to build something to guess what these redacted lines(at least for the not-8-page-part) say. Since they redact mid-sentence, could you calculate the font size, estimate how many characters ther

... and that exactly what the Taxi industry should do, step up. Not just in price, but in technology. IMO the best feature of Uber is the app and transparency like features of taking a trip. If I can pull the app up, input where I am and wh

What attempts are there to bring the tech that makes Uber popular to the Taxi industry? My limited experience with taxi's in Las Vegas and San Francisco have left a lot to be desired when compared to Uber. The fact that the app gives m

How are the local laws and politics? I feel like SF/CA have a lot of regressive housing policies that some other US cities are trying to adopt.

Not trolling, the title says you are a rival to Twilio. What do you feel you offer that they don't, or why should an existing Twilio customer use MessageBird instead?

Personally, I think that most office designers take the concept of open offices too far. From what I've seen of several offices, as a Software Engineer, is that Open Office is meant to be entirely open. This means that the only divider

What particularly is your issue around GC fragmentation? I ask because I had issues previously, but it was "solved" by moving to the G1 GC, I didn't know if you have considered the same.

When I see this, I kind of think what the author usually means is "Is X the new Rails?". Ruby itself was around many years before Rails existed, but didn't enjoy that much popularity. Once Rails became very popular Ruby becam
