> Even with better economics and larger scale the larger question looms, which is how do these businesses turn profitable.

With self driving cars much further away than previously thought, this is the real danger for a company like Uber, who is bleeding money through their standard taxi-like services, quarter after quarter.

If Katie was a man, there would still be a large question as whether to praise one person, except as the leader of the effort.

At the same time, it's totally common for professors to ride on the efforts of research students under their direction, to the point of being ethically questionable.

You might as well credit the Linux operating system to only a single man, whose effort is certainly largely responsible, but for who also does not in any way represent the whole of effort.

It's the ship of Theseus all over again.

Why not both?

I concur.

So... Step one, raise funding to run a revolutionary company. Step two, ditch original idea for being revolutionary once funding is obtained. Use interest bearing bonds and other investments. Step three, profit.

Have you considered the security and memory footprint implications of using electron? I totally carry your base concern for making this, but electron would not generally my first choice for making most apps.

Reporting things falsely as a terrorist action IS a terrorist action!!!!!!

It would be nice if the article writer realized that SELinux was not responsible for the specific error that was being displayed. Additionally, anyone that does linux should know that a permission error is either file system perms or selinux 9 times out of 10.

As long as you remember which ethnic group(s) owned and shipped the majority of slaves, I'm totally cool with reparations. Reparations should of course be made from the coffers of the descendants of those individuals, where possible. Generational wealth is a very real problem in some countries.

It would be nice to have independent reviews of vaccines from companies so that consumers could make informed decisions. Vaccines are generally good, but the accountability to keep them that way is not as strong as you'd think.

And yes, man made pollutants are still the disaster of this century. Just because we've removed lead from gasoline doesn't mean everything else is fixed.

Opera is a Chinese owned company now, right? How safe are you in trusting a Chinese VPN? Maybe slightly better than a VPN operated by Facebook...maybe?

I love how articles like this make all these problems seem brand new. As if scammers never existed before the internet. The internet must be so evil.

Do you honestly think that slave owners simply gave up after slavery became illegal in the US? No, they simply found new and ingenuitive ways of exploiting people. Winning a battle is seldom ever winning the war.

"The US has an image problem"

If that's true, then you could probably state that Twitter has a problem 1000 times that size.

"Mistakes" can also be just lack of sufficient evidence, or even evidence that is not collected properly. Mistakes do not always mean the party is innocent, just that we take them to be on a legal basis regardless of the truth.

The expectation I have is that these sky high prices will drive a boom not unlike the computer electronics boom of the 60's. When money of this amount is at stake, people are willing to do almost anything to get in on the action.

Or a different planet!!!

"Do no evil." Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha HA!

Quick reminder: Without a true Bill of Rights, your rights, as much you might think they are secure, are virtual at best.

There is some psychology to this. I mean someone that is already healthy is more likely to do a greater amount of sexual things. If you're sick you're not going to be as sexual. Also, being sickly more common or unwell should already put you on unsteady ground when carrying a baby.

Additionally, a woman who has had more intimate exposure to her husband is probably less likely to have negative reactions to a fetus which they have created, judging from basic adaptive immunology.

Really you need to think about world governments less like permanent adversaries and more like parents that get annoyed with each other from time to time.

You might as well state that no republican is pro-renewables, and that would be dishonest as well. This binary labeling of people and states in order to franchise hate really has to come to a close. The moment any movement convinces you that someone is a single choice and not a human, you have failed.

Here we are in the "age of information" and there is still no way to distinguish between the shill and/or troll and the genuine information provider. Glorious.

This age of electronics and logic and AI should have been able to provide a reasonable benefit to consumers at the very bottom. Instead, corporations have found new ways to rig things, impersonate people, and generally be dishonest about the quality and effectiveness of their offerings.

Fun fact. Anticipated behavior is less likely to cause harm, whatever it is. If someone anticipates that you'll fire a gun at them, they'll have a much better reaction than someone who has a gun fired at them without that anticipation.

Which are you honestly more worried about? Someone abusing the system to know where you are when, or not having a system in place when some lawless asshole decides to start doing very nasty things to people and/or property?

Repeat after me: Ever single hierarchy has abuses.

Build a society that has more than one person, and I'll show you a society where someone takes advantage of something more than they probably should, either legally or ethically.

The irony is that most people have given up on Burger King because of the poor dietary selection. In the breakfast menu, there is almost nothing to eat that is not high cholesterol and/or fattening. If Burger King manages to leverage this new item effectively, they could assist in saving the lives of the same people that they are helping to make piss poor life choices with.

The Fed is effectively pulling money out of thin air, and profit sharing with it's largest partners - big banks, something which Saudi Aramco is both unable and unwilling to accomplish.

You might as well label the Fed a corporation officially then, and do a real compare and contrast.

Rent-stabilized implies individuals that are less successful. This might be because of drugs, or various other distractions. Maybe it's their personal choice. Either way, any time you have rent stabilized, you have increased crime, increased disruption and increased disfunctionality. I think with greater restriction you are actually doing them a favor.

I've lived in dozens of non-rent controlled apartments, and it's almost always hell. You always have some douchebag that is above, or below or next to you who can't manage to respect personal boundaries of noise or space or smell. I would have much more enjoyed the experience if there was some level of enforcement.
