It could be the different extensions you have installed. Often this happens with adblockers, so if you use incognito mode or another browser it would fix it.

Seems kind of silly to ignore that javascript enables much more robust user interfaces. It can and is used poorly or maliciously, but it's used for far more than cosmetic or financial reasons.

I simply can't program with a laptop in my lap without my hands/back starting to hurt immediately. I'd love to work from the beach but I really need an ergonomic setup to get any real work done.

Here in Portland almost every driver uses both apps so I don't find a difference in driving. I prefer Uber simply because there's less expectation of tipping and the price is about the same.

I've seen this kind of situation unfold before in a tech community. Without picking a side here, I will say that one thing that really bothers me is the lack of transparency. The whole concept of being able to publicly shame/expel someone without providing real evidence to support that action because of "privacy" seems extremely unfair.

I'm not so certain it's a majority. I think growing up wealthy and not working has a profound effect on people. It isolates you from the majority of the population, and removes any external pressure to grow and take risks.

I just got an iPhone for the first time after many years of Android. I was sick of the Android versions of most popular apps being much worse/buggier than their iOS counterpart. It's not just Snap.

I know Elon has talked about some sort of minibus form factor for their taxi fleet plans.
