    Using the phrase "echo chamber" doesn't make you alt-right, suggesting so just closes down an avenue of discussion which then leads to more division.

    I haven't noticed commuters doing this in London except the obviously homeless/troubled people.

    It's a prepaid credit card with a great app that lets you do things like freezing your card quickly. They also offer good exchange rates with no fees. Personally I use it as a trav…

    This just isn't true, I work in central London amongst the bankers and they're usually the first to get out a bank branded umbrella, usually obnoxiously huge ones too.

    Yeah, working in central London and there's always an abundance of umbrellas in use when it rains, really not sure what this commenter is talking about.

    The previous and continuing actions of bad people but not "you" as a collective, just the racist ones. (I'm mixed race, not that it should make my point any more/less valid).

    Premium services often cost a little more money, it's a trade off between money and time. There's nothing stopping people flying if they can't afford the PreCheck, it's just a litt…

    It's not like the TSA is stopping people on the street, it's an agreement, if you want to enter the airport then volunteer for the search.

    Somebody with more funds and connections could ship your idea before you rendering yours obsolete. In the case of a hardware based startup they could even patent the idea first.

    People don't steal ideas. Tell as many people as possible. Never ask someone to sign an NDA before hearing your idea, you'll instantly lose all credibility I find this hard to beli…

    That would actually be the same amount of steps as the current situation. I often leave re-stocking items till later and ultimately end up forgetting.

    The Gillette button seems the most useful to me, I'd have it in my bathroom drawer for when I take the last blade out of the pack. I'd stick the Bounty button to the wall above the…

    It's a shame that BMW isn't committed to fixing the key-reprogramming method of theft that affects many of their older cars. The previous "fix" that they issued only prevented the …
