They probably meant exactly what they wrote and didn't need a snarky correction.

I've held off on buying a Tesla because I don't know for sure if the company will be around in several years and I worry about maintenance. News like this obviously doesn't help, but it makes me wonder when is a "good" time to buy a Tesla where it seems like a safer bet?

Having worked for both companies in my old career this is unsurprising. Marriott has a history of changing things for the worse.

One great example is when they bought Ritz Carlton. They said they wouldn't change much, and then did a sweeping rebranding (changing a lot of internal verbiage, changing the 20 basics to the 12 service values, etc). A lot of the veterans felt like the brand lost a core part of its identity then.

Starwood's rewards program was award winning and pretty much everyone I knew considered it best in the industry. It's unfortunate that they bought such a great program and can't even integrate it with theirs. It's really sad and I can't imagine them salvaging it.

It's the law! I'm not sure how you don't get that. People have to get explicit consent to Terms of Service and marketing. If you don't understand that times change and companies have to adapt to follow the law (with a popup modal of all things gasp) then I'm not sure what to tell ya. Good luck with that mindset.

That's a stretch. I worked on GDPR compliance and it wasn't because of anything underhanded or nefarious. Just had to comply with new regulations.

Implying that white males don't care is not helpful and is both racist and sexist. I'm a white male and I care about abuse and all kinds of other things. Maybe you should do some reading on unconscious bias.

Because the scooters were already clogging sidewalks and aggravating people. The limit prevents that. Otherwise VC's will invest in ten of these companies like lemmings, kind of like how we have so many food deliver apps. At least this way we'll only have five. This doesn't seem too crazy to me but maybe that's just me.

tldr;

> The Supreme Court, gave its opinion today on Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis and, in a 5-4 split, decided to uphold forced arbitration agreements that preclude employees from pursuing class-action lawsuits against their bosses in court

It sounds accurate for Grindr, Scruff and Hornet in the world of gay 'dating' apps as well.

I trust that they do, which is more than can be said for Facebook at this point.

Even if they did I doubt Facebook has enough of a handle on their data to avoid the fines for GDPR. They're infrastructure must be massive, and they have a big target on them. I can't say I feel bad for them.

Maybe if you printed them as a "backup". What makes you think having them is unhealthy?

That it's not a crime doesn't excuse dickishness.
