Philippines has QR/Instapay. Not sure if it's complete equivalent of PIX. But basically you can scan a QR code and you can pay using any bank or digital wallet.

Aren't most tips are optional anyway but we're all pressured to give one?

How will local/state prosecute it?

The crimes are on the federal level and pretty sure they'll receive pardons.

I thought Chinese electric car are selling way more than Tesla around the world.
NYTimes has a paywall. Is that public internet and therefore fair use?

Re:RIP to my Pixel Fold: Dead after four days on Tuesday June 27, 2023 @09:03AM (#36492145)
I know a bunch of people who love their foldables.

I guarantee you though that Apple will "invent" a foldable phone in a few years and you'll use a different Steve Jobs quote to shower praises on Apple.

Stop arguing with this guy. He's a huge defender of Elon. He's probably thinking Elon would give him crypto.
I see a lot more hate, election-denying, conspiracy, racist, sexist tweets.

I guess, for some people, this is an achievement.

Timing is also not great IMO.

We're just getting out of the pandemic and people are excited to be outdoors.

I wouldn't want to spend time in the Metaverse after all the lockdowns and travel restriction during the pandemic.

I left in 2017 after having to spent over 10 years in the Bay Area.

It was bad then and pandemic made it worse.

So many closed shops on Market St/Union Square area.

Walk a few blocks West and Tenderloin looks like doomsday. Lines for soup kitchens, tents, drugged-up and mentally-ill people walking like Zombies.

If I remember correctly, Bob Lee worked on the Google Android team too.
But if we don't defend the billionaires, they'll come after us commoners next. /s

The author was making comparisons to previous activity from Twitter employees not to other normal corporations.
So you boil water, add coconut oil then add rice.

How would this work in a rice cooker?

Re:Upwork just stole $10k from me on Saturday February 25, 2023 @07:53AM (#34936281)
It's not a free product. This transaction is over $10K. Users (developers and clients) deserve customer support for this kind of transaction.
Re:Upwork just stole $10k from me on Saturday February 25, 2023 @07:04AM (#34936018)
The crazy thing with these companies are they say you violated the user agreement but doesn't mention what specific policy you violated.
Re:Does Google need a new CEO? on Tuesday February 14, 2023 @12:27PM (#34792760)
I use Google not because it's a great product but because I'm locked in or don't have good options.
Meta's stock is up over 40% this year.

Love that post. Sadly, every major tech platform is going thru "enshittification".
Re:Google executive fired after female boss groped him on Monday January 30, 2023 @03:23AM (#34577193)
Isn't every lawsuit an unproven claim?

Are you proposing that the media should stop covering lawsuits?

Re:Google executive fired after female boss groped him on Monday January 30, 2023 @03:21AM (#34577176)
Who is suing for defamation? The female boss or the guy?

"block everything" yet you only have one example.

Would you rather have McDonalds and Burger King operating all restaurants instead of having millions of small restaurants?
Re:U.S. Accuses Google of Abusing Monopoly in Ad Technology on Tuesday January 24, 2023 @02:54PM (#34509264)
That's a different antitrust violation.

This one is about ad tech.

DoJ is probably filing this lawsuit first either it's easier to win and/or they have gathered enough evidence.

Pretty sure they are looking into App Store antitrust too.

Yes they are chasing short-term gains. They don't want to get hammered in the next quarterly earnings.

This video from VICE about a kitchen in NYC that has 15 restaurants under it:

Is there bruising on your son's face?

Maybe not now but Google/Apple will scan your photos for potential child abuse.
