Exactly. This proposal is absolutely soul-crushing for most people. Having extended daylight hours when people are actually awake in the evening is critical for positive mental hea…

There's so many issues with large companies demanding people to return to the office, so it's at least somewhat refreshing to hear "do it because I said so", but this just isn't go…

They are not expressing themselves peacefully is the issue. They are calling for armed insurrection.

Absolutely incredible. I felt like I had a bird's eye view to humanity.

This study supports the notion that are all truly interconnected in ways that are beyond our conscious comprehension. It's an important reminder we do not exist in a vacuum and our…

I think this is a different beast. I personally loved shopping at Whole Foods because the food is high quality and their employees are treated well. These tenets are totally incomp…

A huge part of lower home prices in Japan is that they treat housing as a depreciating asset in their economy. So it's more like buying a car than making an investment. http://frea…

Serious question - why hasn't the Uber board replaced Kalanick yet? While it is indisputable he successfully brought Uber to where it is now, it doesn't seem like he has the good j…

Thanks for clarifying the point about the bluetooth - this definitely got buried for me. The case is a good stopgap for improving battery life, but I still think they need to last …

100% agree. I carry a pair of Apple earbuds with me to use interchangeably with my phone and my Mac laptop. The new lightning headphones that come in the box won't be compatible wi…

Why can't we compromise a bit here? I don't think many people have issues with folks renting out their place for a few weeks during the year, but buying property and using it to at…

Hold on - a lot of these comments here are assuming that this probe will result in more regulation for AirBnb, but according to the article, it seems like these senators are only c…

I don't think Uber is going to completely turf out, but I believe they will experience a correction in their valuation. It looks like they last raised money at a $62.5 billion valu…

Which is completely absurd because not only were many of these laws recently enacted, but their the efficacy of some rules is also questionable (most notably the calorie count law)…

I think this is why Tesla's home battery is going to be such a big deal in the near future. You could buy your own solar panel system and use it to charge your home battery, which …

My gut reaction is that these boot camps are fueling some employment at early-stage start-ups because the graduates are far less expensive than more seasoned developers and the cod…

Why all the rage directed at Google and not, say, the government that institutes these policies? Something just feels 100% misguided about these attacks.

I really wish people talked to others working in the medical industry before jumping to conclusions about medical practices and norms. Surgeons are increasingly portrayed by the me…

The 'sharing economy' described in the article is not so much about sharing as it is about making money. You don't share your apartment on AirBnb - you sell it.

I think it's worth thinking about how some routes would enjoy increased popularity given the existence of a hyperloop mode of transport. For instance, the Chicago-New York route is…

This is a genius way to tell a story. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's extremely clear that Twitter is turning its back on the developer community who helped the company reach success. We were the first adopters of Twitter, encouraged our friends…

This is why medical and scientific research should not have profit motives attached to them. It creates perverted incentives like the situation you describe above.

Well, this is frightening. Common sense dictates that human genes should not be patented, but with the current climate in this country, I'm not sure if common sense will prevail.

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think AT&T is a capable enough institution to beat Google to the punch on this one.
