"overly-litigious" would need to be cited in my opinion. What is "overly"?

So someone with a 3.5 customer rating will just have to wait longer?
Who is to say we aren't already transplants just looking to reconnect with our cousins?
I don't see many people using Edge. I mostly don't have any problems now that it has extensions for ad block and lastpass. Sometimes opening a new tab just mysteriously doesn't work (it sits with the tab open doing nothing) or the website barely works without Edge freezing up (CarMax.com).

The battery life is really good though.

This is the best Earth has to offer is how I prefer to think about it. Though I am not even sure humans are the best we have to offer anyways.
I suspect you meant definitely and not defiantly.
Is it possible there isn't an asteroid belt to be concerned about?
It doesn't work in Microsoft Edge either (yup I use it).
But what if we are the first and no filter exists at all?

Grocery stores will be redesigned to accommodate personal shoppers just like cities were redesigned around the Segway. If the Segway or personal shoppers were free you might have an argument.

Oh neat! What's your opinion on their collapse and do you think that kind of business model can survive today?

What kinds of things did you use them for and what was the cost? If you don't mind me asking.

What are the implications for a passenger with a poor star rating?

Do you believe it is possible for something to be wrong yet legal?

> But then, you'd be surprised at how many highly-compensated programmers never bother to exercise their options. The same ones who then go on Hacker News and complain about bad treatment of workers, and how if only they owned the companies.

This reads like an oddly specific claim -- do you have examples?

Thanks for expanding on this. My answer of 'Yes.' deserved the downvotes.

Does Uber make efforts to increase star ratings for drivers or is it all up to the driver? I was a quality manager for a call center and bad ratings can happen to even the best people. We always worked with them to improve for the future. We also did not rely exclusively on customer ratings and used internal QA. Does Uber have internal QA for drivers?

> They definitely don't make drivers have to hand out paper flyers in order to feed their family.

Yea with Uber the drivers are just forced to grovel for your 5-star rating or face not getting future fares.

I didn't realize your comment exclusively pertained to venture owners. Even so a venture owner could sell the company to the employees and move on to their next big thing.

I was thinking of Kozmo.com which funnily enough also went defunct in 2001.

Although they did more than just food.

I think it's possible if the labor owns the company.

Unfortunately the Feedback Hub application requires me to adjust my system wide privacy settings to allow sending who knows what to Microsoft.

I suppose I could temporarily change the setting just to give line ending feedback for notepad.

Why do both of these feature only the physics benchmark? The second link illustrates that Intel still wins in single core performance.

Yes.
