With Google's amount of data, 2 trips will 'force' drivers to restrict input to commuting habits and have more insights on it.

Google still holds 5% of Uber.

For commuting, I'd call it Uber's abandonment and Lyft's death.

Did Germany's political class benefit from this? Maybe.

Still, Greece allowed it to happen by not facing reality.

I'd ask him one question: how is the idea of regulated, political and centralized money working out for you?

>after five years of lender-imposed austerity that has increased Greek unemployment

That's a very easy target. Probably easier to ignore the high cost of hiring, bureacracy, corruption,...

For most high-exec types, cultural fit is one of the only excuses to justify their position and achievements.

The technical barriers for these jobs are very small, but as corporations have a self-reinforcing cronyist culture, "acting and being part of the wolves" is the most important thing.

Not only will qualified people not get a chance, but many sectors end up collapsing or getting stuck. For example, for a decent "banker", it wouldnt be hard to predict events in 07-09.

Beyond YAY!'s, the state is saying it will 'let' you love someone of the same sex.

Can someone sense the creepiness in this? It tells you how/who/why you should love.

It still doesn't include certain groups and it could revoke such 'rights' in other circumstances.

Beyonds VCs and startups, focusing solely on growth mostly hurts founders themselves.

I've met some that, because of ego and narcissism, ignored profitability, raising unnecessary money and eventually losing autonomy and control.

Unless the center of your argument is based on race, every country would have to ban Netflix, McDonalds and Hollywood movies.

I'd assume Oracle would still have a century long contract to ensure they still have a monopoly.

Also worth mentioning we shouldn't limit ourselves to domestic legalization.

Because prostitution would still be illegal in developed countries, human trafficking would continue to happen, as prostitutes will need someone to "take care of stuff".

If they could become independent with technology, they wouldn't be vulnerable to violence, rape,...

I live in a country where prostitution is legal and not taken as taboo. All I can say is that it makes things easier for everybody.

Many use their bodies as a "small business", having their own personal marketing, credit card processor and online clients, increasing and improving their portfolio.

Because they have such leverage, they end up being strict on what they'd do and even who their client is. In case something goes wrong, they can still go to the police and report the incident.

>Around 1 million families survive today on the meagre pension of a grandfather or a grandmother as the rest of the family members are unemployed in a country where only 9% of the unemployed receive any unemployment benefit.

This is simply terrifying

I find the title to be somewhat misleading as it tries to get readers' attention.

Most of the article is related to the Blockhain, but "won't need us" makes most assume it's purely related to automation.

Like Americans, such unscrupulous program also ends up hurting genuinely talented and skilled foreign workers.

Many 'consulting firms' end up hiring/slaving thousands of workers(hence using the H1-b quota), whereas others(not exploiting the loophole) end up not getting called on the lottery.

A rational and realistic discussion is necessary, but most end up becoming too biased and extreme("don't let anyone come here").

No, it's not.

With these individuals, I'd avoid being blatantly honest and objective. Even if you helped them, they tend to take it personally and undermine your relationships.

So, whenever they're wrong, I show them I have a completely different background/side("the guy who knows math") and make them conclude something without directly saying it( using indirect questions maybe).

With that, they "were not wrong" (their nightmare) and you just helped them come to the right conclusion("like always").

I have experienced something similar between Latino and White.

Although I was born and raised in Latin America, my parents are Europeans, so I'm seen as white in the U.S.

Whenever I apply to something, there's a quasi-existential dilemma created by such racial division.

For blue-collar jobs, sick days, maternity/paternity leave and most benefits are close to non-existent, undermining their well-being and lives.

For white-collar jobs, competition becomes insanely high, excluding such opportunities from non-Ivy League networks and/or considerably decreasing wages.

Assuming your argument is valid, what do skills have to do with choosing fiat currencies vs gold?

I don't know anyone willing to work for a worthless piece of paper.

The largest threat to America is America itself.

For the past decades, America appears to be moving away from principles , objectiveness and liberty.

More and more, we see a 'democracy' ran by delusional ideologies and even blind nationalism.

Unless the new CEO had a ongoing positive relationship with the former CEO and company, it appears to be really hard to keep things working and have a long-term vision.

Yes, it's terrible for Zenefits, but even worse for ADP.

A defamation lawsuit tells a lot about how vulnerable a company is. Take down Zenefits and hundreds of others emerge.

Instead of quitting the tech industry, why not move to an existing smaller company, whose size gives you more freedom?

Wait and sit for a profitable idea doesn't look like a very good idea.

I'd go to AngelList and join an existing startup, rather than going on my own.

The author explains at README.md:

>Sure, I had some questions "how is this high-frequency" or "not for UHFT" or "this is not front-running". Let's take a closer look at these definitions:

> High-frequency finance: the studying of incoming tick data arriving at high frequencies, say hundreds of ticks per second. High frequency finance aims to derive stylized facts from high frequency signals

>High-frequency trading: the turnover of positions at high frequencies; positions are typically held at most in seconds, which amounts to hundreds of trades per second.

If anything, an employee could just move to a company with better perks.

Instead, their ambition and motivation appears to be large enough to accept smaller salaries and benefits to start their own company.

This.

Coming from an impoverished family, I took CS as a way out of it. Eventually, I became interested, but not the other way around.

The issue with student debt is critical, but one can't take these individuals as solely victims.

I went to a cheap state university and got a degree in CS. I had no debt after 3 years and my income is higher than average.

If I had gone to an expensive private liberal arts college, I wouldn't have the same outcome and could be a victim of the process.

Students must recognize they are also reaponsible for their debt.
