Exactly. This proposal is absolutely soul-crushing for most people. Having extended daylight hours when people are actually awake in the evening is critical for positive mental health.

There's so many issues with large companies demanding people to return to the office, so it's at least somewhat refreshing to hear "do it because I said so", but this just isn't going to work in the long run. The to

They are not expressing themselves peacefully is the issue. They are calling for armed insurrection.

Absolutely incredible. I felt like I had a bird's eye view to humanity.

This study supports the notion that are all truly interconnected in ways that are beyond our conscious comprehension. It's an important reminder we do not exist in a vacuum and our actions have an indirect impact on a large number of p

I think this is a different beast. I personally loved shopping at Whole Foods because the food is high quality and their employees are treated well. These tenets are totally incompatible with Amazon's culture. Sure, now they say they w

A huge part of lower home prices in Japan is that they treat housing as a depreciating asset in their economy. So it's more like buying a car than making an investment. http://freakonomics.com/2014/02/26/

Serious question - why hasn't the Uber board replaced Kalanick yet? While it is indisputable he successfully brought Uber to where it is now, it doesn't seem like he has the good judgement to be leading Uber at this stage of the c

Thanks for clarifying the point about the bluetooth - this definitely got buried for me. The case is a good stopgap for improving battery life, but I still think they need to last 10 hours on a single charge to be really useful. For instanc

100% agree. I carry a pair of Apple earbuds with me to use interchangeably with my phone and my Mac laptop. The new lightning headphones that come in the box won't be compatible with my laptop, so I'll either need to use the old e

Why can't we compromise a bit here? I don't think many people have issues with folks renting out their place for a few weeks during the year, but buying property and using it to attract vacationers to a residential area is very di

Hold on - a lot of these comments here are assuming that this probe will result in more regulation for AirBnb, but according to the article, it seems like these senators are only calling for the FTC to study the impact companies like AirBnB

I don't think Uber is going to completely turf out, but I believe they will experience a correction in their valuation. It looks like they last raised money at a $62.5 billion valuation [1], which suggests that investors are expecting

Which is completely absurd because not only were many of these laws recently enacted, but their the efficacy of some rules is also questionable (most notably the calorie count law). I wouldn't be surprised if most of the difference cit

I think this is why Tesla's home battery is going to be such a big deal in the near future. You could buy your own solar panel system and use it to charge your home battery, which would in turn power your electric car. You wouldn'

My gut reaction is that these boot camps are fueling some employment at early-stage start-ups because the graduates are far less expensive than more seasoned developers and the code they write is probably okay enough for a short while. Why

Why all the rage directed at Google and not, say, the government that institutes these policies? Something just feels 100% misguided about these attacks.

I really wish people talked to others working in the medical industry before jumping to conclusions about medical practices and norms. Surgeons are increasingly portrayed by the media as greedy and worthy of increased oversight. The reality

The 'sharing economy' described in the article is not so much about sharing as it is about making money. You don't share your apartment on AirBnb - you sell it.

I think it's worth thinking about how some routes would enjoy increased popularity given the existence of a hyperloop mode of transport. For instance, the Chicago-New York route is roughly 800 miles, which is about an hour of hyperloop

It's extremely clear that Twitter is turning its back on the developer community who helped the company reach success. We were the first adopters of Twitter, encouraged our friends to join, and made it mainstream. Now, when we want to build

This is why medical and scientific research should not have profit motives attached to them. It creates perverted incentives like the situation you describe above.

Well, this is frightening. Common sense dictates that human genes should not be patented, but with the current climate in this country, I'm not sure if common sense will prevail.

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think AT&T is a capable enough institution to beat Google to the punch on this one.

NSLs remind me of the "deny and imply" clause in Super Sad True Love Story. It goes something like... "By reading this, you have denied its [some type of government surveillance] existence and implied consent." Very troubling news.

This is a very silly situation. Someone made a joke about a dongle and got fired. Another person posted that she was offended about the said dongle joke and it's flared up into a massive discussion about gender in tech. Here's the bottom li

Did LayerVault try to contact Flat UI to discuss their grievances before sending a DMCA Takedown? If so, what was the result of that conversation. If not, why didn't LayerVault pursue that path before posting this to Github? We in tech need

Yes and no. Lean and Agile act as a "hill-climbing" algorithm. You start at point x and take an action in some direction. If you improve, continue. If you don't, change directions. Keep doing this until you can't improve any further and you

All the people who support this keep saying how everyone else is going to use the tool to do x, y, or z, but they haven't said what they themselves would do with it. So I ask, when you have access to Graph Search, what is the first thing yo
