Here is a place that sucks the money out of the poor for no particular benefit: check cashings.

You cash your check for a good percentage of it. If they had a bank account they wouldn't need to spend that money. I don't know how it is in other states but the last time I opened a bank account in California it was a pain. The amount of information needed is certainly not possible for a huge chunk of people.

What I like is that everyone has a solution on how twitter should run, but no twitter to run.

> a sign of the continuing global trouble from plummeting low oil prices

Gas is one of those things I have no control over. If it's expensive I have to pay, if it's cheap I have to pay. I'm dependent, and in a city like Los Angeles the alternative is impossible. They raised the price of public transport to a point where it is not even convenient.

So when I go to the gas station and it's cheap I'm happy. I fill it up and have a smile on my face. Am I doing it wrong?

Let's encrypt looks so cool with its very few steps. But then you install and you get all sorts of errors not me toned on the page. I spent a good 5 hours debugging yesterday.

When it finally works I see that the certificate expires in 2 months.

There needs to be a shared hosting static page generator solution. WordPress does have a plug in but the average user doesn't even know it's a problem.

If you create a website with wrongly attributed quotes Google will pick it up. And the more people complain and link to your website as incorrect the more popular it will get and eventually people just start making memes and sharing on all social networks and then the quotes becomes true in the eyes of the googlers.

As a black software developer I had a much easier time getting along with the white French developer culturewise.
