Apparently they're being built by a company called Oshkosh Defense because... delivering mail is just like combat?

Better yet- do both.

They've had a notice at the top of https://www.instagram.com/developer/ since late last year.
>> Any app created before Nov 17, 2015 will continue to function until June 1, 2016. On that date, the app will automatically be moved to Sandbox Mode if it wasn't approved through the review process

edit: yes it happens in taxis too, but in that case it's pretty clear that the taxi company has liability. not so clear if it happens in an uber. see: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ellenhuet/2014/09/30/uber-driver...

And to make it even better (if you use OSX):
Install GeekTool and use the shell "Geeklet" to affix the todo list permanently on your desktop background. You can adjust the font/size/transparency to make it as obnoxious as needed.

> The world at large isn't ready to hear these statistics, and overall that is probably a good thing.
I agree. Research and data might make people feel bad, and not making people feel bad is obviously way more important than increasing knowledge.
> We shouldn't accept these disparities as driven by natural forces until we've tried everything we can imagine to try to bring the differences in line.
I agree. Personally I think we should withhold all math education to males until they are 21. We can discontinue this policy when there is a 50/50 gender split among all STEM workers, educators, and investors.
> we should assume and act as though differences are due to bias long after the differences are well proven to be natural
Yep. 1+1=3. Doesn't matter if you can prove that 1+1=2.
> It is a case where being wrong in one direction is not very costly, but being wrong in the other direction (and thus institutionalizing bias) is disastrous.
Yep, unimaginable catastrophes.

i've "abused" countless laptops over the years this way. none of them seem to have been affected negatively. in comparison, my wife routinely lets the battery on hers run close to empty- her last laptop could barely hold a charge for 5 min.

There's never been a startup who achieved serious traction but wasn't able to monetize itself.
You're joking, right?
