I've been there as well. In reality 99% of the time you don't need new gear. However there is also a delicate balance where a new piece of gear makes you excited to go out and do y…

Big Tech's latest ploy: using live facial recognition to monitor and control riots. Surveillance overreach meets dystopian nightmare. Because nothing says "protecting democracy" li…

Intel's recent struggles are the result of a decade-long failure to diversify and innovate beyond its x86 stronghold. The company's delayed pivot to AI and smartphone SoCs, coupled…

It's disappointing to hear that Paddle requires three months of processing statements before allowing integration for new SaaS products. This creates a classic chicken-and-egg dile…

In San Francisco if you make $1M as a W-2 employee your marginal tax rate is ~53% and your effective tax rate is ~47%. If you make $1M on your own the rates are even higher. (That'…

Sure, but it also feels slightly pretentious. Is representation in PR what the community wants? Why not actually uplifting the community such that artifical representation isn't ne…

Something I think which really needs to be discussed. Why do tech companies always put a token black person in their PR videos but yet their hiring doesn't reflect that?

No, you don't want dumb people to have representation, because idiots will spread misinformation (everything from climate change being fake to masks being unnecessary) and adopt co…

It also gets rid of people who are too dumb to understand RCV. Hee hee. Intellectual filter on the voting population. :)

I used to use "anting" to refer to the behavior of cyclists who stand on the pedals and don't sit firmly planted on their seats, as if they have ants in their pants. And then there…

Personally I loved every bit of the GME show and I'd love to see short sellers get squeezed on TSLA as well. Shove it to them. We don't need pessimists in this world.

It's probably not compliant. As with all good things, if you're in the Land of the Free (TM), eventually people will hunt you down if you try to do good things. Alternatively, base…

> fears of others Fear of other people based on disability is discrimination. I have zero fear of blind people. Fear of other species is not immoral. I'm afraid of snakes and allig…

No you haven't. ADA should be supporting people who have fears of animals as well, IMO. It's about supporting everyone, not just one class of disability. For that matter, a driver …

I don't think that's funny or a valid comparison. Dogs aren't even the same species. It's not immoral to be afraid of them and having PTSD because of negative interactions with a p…

I don't think the system would be abused that much, especially if Uber could offer a little extra financial reward to the driver for taking the service dog, to the extent necessary…

I think it's perfectly fine to be a window cleaner but refuse you're employer's request to go clean a 100-storey skyscraper and keep taking the 2-storey buildings you usually do.

Yes, I agree with you, Uber should have to deal with it. A lot of people in this thread are arguing that the driver should be forced to suck it up and I think that's shitty for bot…

This is good. PTSD should be added to that as well. Dogs send me into panic and it would be a bad idea for the law to force me to drive against it. I mean, I would because it's the…

Sorry, I don't think that's a fair or constructive comparison.

Again, the law doesn't precede science, and doesn't change the fact that it's going to be life-threatening. You can quote the law all you want, but if you're blind and someone with…

That kind of policy means that people with PTSD from dogs who are desperate for a job will sign up and WILL experience PTSD and WILL endanger riders. It's a shitty policy IMO.

> If they're afraid of dogs they shouldn't drive unknown people for a living Not everyone has a hundred companies trying to hire them. They have to take any job they can get to pay…

Not every Uber driver has much choice of a thousand companies trying to hire them.

How the law is written doesn't change the fact that driving on highway with peanut butter allergy is life-threatening, and driving on highway with PTSD to a stimulus in the car is …
