    Should probably go with "if" instead of "when" ;) Actual question, do you have much Australian based business and do you see yourselves needing account managers there (here) in the…

    Let's dispel once and for all with this fiction that Apple/Google/Facebook doesn't know what they're doing. They know exactly what they're doing. Apple/Google/Facebook is undertaki…

    You don't support people not giving their work away for free? I could understand the privacy argument but "some people can't afford that businesses product so fuck that business" s…

    Cities make it easier for kids to go outside and be kids. The need for car transport that RcouF1uZ4gsC brings up applies to kids as much as adults. It limits who they can interact …

    It seems to have worked in the sense that not being out at night is a good way to not get punched while out at night. It's basically the most invasive form of keeping safe and one …

    Writing a public letter to a business (of which you are not a customer) as if your problems are theirs to fix, is one of the most textbook example of "exaggerated sense of one's ow…

    What? That's the least critical hedging comment they could have possibly made. "some say it's dumb" is their extreme negative? Really?

    I didn't see anything dystopian about it. Bad behaviour just like the rest of morality is relative if it exists at all. I certainly don't think the ability to sanction behaviour is…

    It works both ways, anonymous money prevents people from choosing not to accept your own money as much as it does the other way around. It makes the transaction purely about the mo…

    We haven't "made life better" since we learned how to make fire, seems odd to think we'd start now. Making shit and making life better are two distinct things. Economic production …
