I'd say, once people stop dumping money into these companies and they can no longer operate at a loss, the real price of a ride/delivery will become clear.

I feel that better types of verification are dangerous. Sure it's convenient, to scan your face or fingerprint, but it's also a way of verifying that you were with your device at t…

Coinbase is big, but not the best exchange.

That stuff is all old, banks aren't giving people trouble these days. Canada is likely to have a BTC ETF in January, so you could say Canada is pretty open to BTC at this point (it…

There is this guy I watch on YouTube, he had a Patreon account and a BTC address. I don't want to sign up for Patreon, so I sent him BTC. The great thing about BTC is you can send …

I once talked to a manager about how meeting seemed like a waste of time, he said he loved meetings because it meant people were working together and getting things done. That made…

Could be, looking at my usual business news site, they got 4 stories about CEO's resigning. Very atypical, but could just be part of a abnormally on a normal distribution.

I get how this is happening and is independent from other things going on in the world... But what is the deal with all these CEO's stepping down?

It seems to be for a specific exchange that has $240 24 hour volume...

Don't western governments ask for the data, then tell the company they can't say anything to their customers or anyone else... Basically, the same thing, but with a different descr…

Being a devil's advocate here, but why would anyone trust an American company with there data? I get China is the bad guy and all that, but American companies are basically doing t…

I don't live in London, but I live in my country's biggest city. All the jobs are here, so I can either live in the city or outside the city, with a 2-hour commute. It kind of suck…

Negative press in anticipation of FaceBook-Coin?

I think this sums it all up "but is controversial because it imposes costs on consumers." A carbon tax is a way for all of us (people) to deal with the problem, while the corporati…

Looking at the chart on that page, it seems like the 'low' temperatures we have now are an anomaly rather than the norm.

As a parent, sending my child to daycare is a necessary evil. I've not liked it, but from a financial perspective, we have little choice.

Finding a solution is the hard part. I've found, the few times that I've been able to sit with the developer and test their code as they tried to solve an accessibility problem was…

Good point, I'm not a fan of FaceBook but they do an amazing job of this. If you tab out of the URL bar of your browser, Facebook has a huge accessibility skip links menu.

I sort of agree, from my experience, I know what to expect when I see something, so seeing and hearing helps me quickly spot the issue.

I've worked with people from Level Access[1] and Deque[2], there is also TPG[3]. I'm not sure how much money they cost, but they are the real experts in the industry. Some people o…

JAWS costs around $1000, NVDA is free. I'm assuming the person doesn't have the budget to buy JAWS. There is a demo for JAWS, but its 40 minutes, that isn't going to be enough to t…

I don't want the extra work. But I do accessibility as my full-time job.

My only comments to that would be WebAim is the highest authority on accessibility. I'm well aware that these combinations will change over time. The biggest thing is that JAWS cos…
