This. There's been a huge turnover this year, with people quitting the committee out of protest for an absolute lack of oversight into how Google will be using the "smart data" and piss-poor management by the city. From what

But why would you want to do the credit card company's work for them? That regulation is in place purely because of political bribery by the credit card industry. The consumer-friendly thing to do is to charge proper rates for things w

This. Canada Post went on strike early winter as a pressure tactic because it knew the company would suffer going into the holiday season. Ultimately, that only screwed over the customers.

It would also seriously stymie innovation. If I risk having to refund an item when I push out improvements, I'm never bothering to push out improvements except bug fixes. I'm also incentivized to release a new model every month wi

Sugar is absolutely addictive. And juice is just sugar. Whole fruits are healthy because of the fibers and nutrients in the pulp+skin. The fiber slows absorption and helps with insulin spikes. Even "fresh juicing", which is crazy

Actually, the flat lining investment from the Chinese in Vancouver and Toronto is partially due regulations put in place exactly for that purpose. Additional taxes on non-primary properties and vacant properties were aimed at curbing this.

Step 1: define "good" Step 2: compare to alternatives, factoring in geography, culture, scale of operations, political environment It's a hugely complex issue. I wouldn't define Toronto's public transit as bad, but

It's not negative, it's a genuine questions about something that _will_ happen. The number of relationships that are permanent is not 100%, therefore the website _will_ run into this at some point. If I had to guess, it would be m

I find this advice useful for breaking out of a slump, not for preventing burnout. I have to take the opposite approach for burnout: cut things out. Do less. Cross things off the Todo list and _dont_ add a new one. I find my biggest sources

Again, I disagree. You're beginning with the assumption that native is the only, and best solution. As a user, this is simply not true. You may _prefer_ to develop for native, but that doesn't mean its the best choice for the user

This isn't correct. There are "comingled" and "non comingled". Sellers pay more for the latter. Also, there's FBA and non-FBA. Better distinction on the buyer side would go a long way Of course, Amazon doesn&#x

I disagree with your argument as a whole. My device is little more to me than something to run a web browser. I despise native apps. Facebook and Googles apps can - and should IMO - be run from a browser without crossing over into my person

To be fair to cloudflare, this is what the website being protected pays them to do. They can't effectively block malicious actors that are 100x more sophisticated than me, without being able to analyze that data. I understand the risk

>PopSockets is currently moving over 10 million products a month, with a unit price of just $10. 10 million units per month at $10/unit? I call bullshit. That would put them at $1,200,000,000 per year. I've seen them around, bu

The idea that everyone should simply pay the same regardless of use is wrong. Cell phone plans have data tiers and pay-per-use. There's no reason cable companies can't do this either, except it prevents them from fudging costs. I
