Fun fact: it mostly does now (varies by market, but the big players have mostly adopted it). It hasn't changed much. As others have observed, the underlying reality is that the mega-acts are inherently supply-constrained, and (enough)

That's one advantage of this being a CFPB action and not the result of a class-action suit.

Not to derail to an unrelated complaint about Fi, but it's absolutely wild that if you want to do a 3-way call from your Google Pixel phone using Google Fi service, you can't do it from WiFi (or rather, if you don't turn off

Taking that at face value, I'd say that "limit drivers doing it 'for fun' in exchange for better pay/protections for drivers doing it to eke out a living" seems like a reasonable trade-off...

For a take on Epic-the-software (as opposed to Epic-the-company), Atul Gawande had a great piece in the New Yorker recently: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/11/12/why-doctors-ha... It gets into s

To some degree, yes - Massachusetts did that, in fact, and the plan there (that was signed, somewhat ironically, by Mitt Romney) is very very similar to the ACA. There are a lot of details, though, that make this complicated and not necessa

Here's a common scenario: you maintain more than one project, and you can't just simultaneously upgrade e.g. Django for all of them (or literally any library where an upgrade may be non-trivial). Yes, eventually you'll (hopef

The feasibility of buying 292 million tickets (as you mention) is a key barrier: many lotteries (Powerball included) explicitly and deliberately require that tickets must be bought in person. So, just as a matter of time constraints, you&#x

Most of these are for chronic conditions, where people are seeing their doctor on a fairly regular (once every few months) basis. And yeah, at least some patients absolutely do ask, "hey, I heard about X, is that good for me?" The

My understanding is that PLM very much translates to useable knowledge - just for the pharma and PHM folks who mine the backend (which is how they make money). Notably, this is all quite above-board: it's not a "secretly mine peop

I like ZP (now Gusto), I really do, but their support over time has been lacking (and it feels like it's degrading), and as a customer I'm growing increasingly concerned that they're growing too fast to keep up. Granted - I&#

Global Entry is for immigration/customs, not TSA security. The trade-off is: they do a background check and take some biometrics, and in exchange you can skip the conversation with an immigration agent where they ask you where you&#x27

I kind of wonder if they're counting "Chrome" as an app, and the 8th minute is actually SMS + phone (quaint, I know). I'd believe it either way, to be sure.

I'm doubtful that it's a billion dollar industry. As a prior commenter noted, shippers will likely raise rates to compensate (particularly when you're a large shipper, rates tend to be negotiated anyway), or adjust policies t
