Regarding your first point, changing the tipping medium does not solve the underlying problem. Tipping sucks.

And as soon as any trouble is realized you will be in a world of shit since you are a registered driver with your SSN/background check/other personal info on file. Uber is not the free for all everyone is making it out to be.

Exactly. Rapes have been occurring in taxis for a long time, the only difference is Uber provides more accountability as you have a complete record of the transaction (gps location, personal information of the driver, etc) digitally stored. What these stories should focus on is how quickly these situations get resolved given the wealth of information provided by Uber (as opposed to a taxi cab) and how quickly that will act as a deterrent.

and we have now fully devolved into the Fox News/MSNBC comment boards

Looking at a page that was intentionally made public by the author for the purpose of displaying non-sensitive/work related information (linkedin) is in no way "digging too deeply"

Do BTC exchanges process the currency exchange for you automatically or do you first have to get your USD exchanged and into a Russian account?

Can you expand on this? Are you suggesting that most of the people who say these things publicly don't actually believe them but are instead just trying to fit in to a certain social group?

This video[1] did the same for me. I was so confused the first time I saw it I ended up spending the rest of my saturday reading speedrunning forums and watching caps of live speedrunning competitions.

Not all torrents are created equal. There are certain (private) communities within the torrent world which have amazing release groups who are dedicated to producing the highest quality versions possible.

There are also groups who focus purely on release time and quality is at most a secondary concern. What I'm getting at is that using torrents (or rather piracy) allows to obtain content that matches your needs (in this case quality vs release time). You can get music/movies/tv shows etc in higher quality than any commercially available streaming source allows for.

I this a serious comment? It's legitimately hard to tell.

Most schools do it at the high school and maybe jr. high level but I have never heard of this happening at the elementary level. We had separate math "groups" in elementary school but this was still within the same classroom and the more advanced group simply learned more about the concepts we were covering.

>...you can't really say that it was the money-driven people in banks that were the cause of this issue.

Yes you absolutely can. /ot

I think your apologetic edit actually managed to be more condescending than the original comment.

Do you mean condescension? Not trying to be a smart ass, I just got a chuckle out of the word choice.

Walking is different because you can stop on a dime and dive out of the way if you see trouble coming. On a bicycle, however, you are usually unable to do this.

Additionally, the increase in speed differential (which is much more significant for cyclists than pedestrians) created by cycling towards oncoming traffic greatly reduces available reaction time of both parties.

When you are travelling in the same direction as the traffic there is usually still a speed differential but it is substantially less. While you no longer have the ability to see potential problems "coming at you", drivers have significantly more time to notice you and react accordingly.

They probably recognized the + and stripped it, as well as all subsequent characters, from your address upon form entry.

I thought they weren't allowed internet access?

>Of course, as the class is taught inside a prison, it has an extra obstacle—inmates don't have access to the Internet at all, and their only time spent with a computer is inside the classroom.

I wonder how hard it is to pick up a wifi signal in a fridge though. I imagine the temperature shielding would be hard for the signal to penetrate. Report back!

They like the name and, more importantly, have spent a substantial amount of money preparing to launch their brand. If they can reach an agreement with GNOME that is acceptable to both parties then why not?

I think this statement should remove any anger or resentment from both sides since at the end of the day they are willing to concede if they can't make everyone happy.

Although all things considered, they probably shouldn't have started developing their brand with this name in the first place.
