Maybe it has something to do with all our politicians being older than my parents... who can barely figure out email.

The thing is, the burden of proof shouldn't be on the victim to prove that the loan was fraudulent. The bank should have to prove that it was valid otherwise it's automatically ruled in the victim's favor. You know, innocent

Companies don't have guns and prisons. Invading your privacy is a little different than being shot or thrown in jail.

Flipping burgers every day for the rest of your life is a sad waste of human potential. We as a society can do better. This robot is one step, other steps are involved like Universal Basic Income or actually paying content creators.

The problem is under employment, not unemployment. People work but can't get enough money from their work—even when they are working 2-3 jobs to try to support their family.

The problem is, our society right now only pays for "physical stuff". Hardware and services that are made and performed by people (who are usually in poverty). However, think of all the artists/musicians/journalists that

Except they wouldn't be able to detect people wearing masks, which is probably an important thing for a security camera to do...

It's really funny if you leave that tab and then come back. Probably some wackiness with Chrome's new disabling of background CPU usage.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I composed this same piece like 30 years ago. Edit: the real art is being able to get published in the NY Times with this boring music.

> Once they manage to establish a monopoly you will be flat out of other options Oh, you mean like the taxi companies? Regulated to the point of no competition?

Come on, there's no way you can say taxis are superior to a frickin button that you press to instantly get a car. Even if the prices were the same, I'm pretty sure most people would still choose Uber.

You don't really have a say in the US, at least. Laws pass 30% of the time, whether the voters love it or hate it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tu32CCA_Ig

Exactly the point: the law has ceased to serve the people and has become irrelevant. It's on the government to change it in order for society to progress, not hold us back. Remember, people are using Uber. Citizens. Voters. They are vo

Let's also acknowledge that it's not just Uber the company skirting the law, it's also the millions of people who use their service. The people have spoken with their dollars instead of their votes.

Laws take years, even decades to change. We'd never have any progress if every technological advancement had to wait for the law to catch up and regulate it.

You don't need to travel far to encounter racism in the U.S. Hell, I live in Silicon Valley and I see racism every day. My black friends get pulled over all the time for "driving while black." I've seen people of color g

My HTC One M8 lets me choose between mounting as a drive, MTP, or just charging. Maybe that's a general Marshmallow feature but it's great.

Their curated playlists are seriously top-notch. I've found so many new bands through the Blogged 50 and Gorilla vs. Bear playlists. Plus, Google Play Music's UI blows the others out of the water. My favorite part is the "Pla

El Crapitan has so many problems it's ridiculous. They broke not only all kinds of Open Source software with their overly paranoid system protection, but also a bunch of hardware by messing up the USB drivers. There are now tons of mus

Censorship laws, mainly. China wants to block out huge portions of search results, and Google doesn't want to do that.

Who cares what the law says? The laws should serve the citizens. And in this case, a huge majority of the citizens prefer to use WhatsApp.
