"I can choose to use reddit or not, but I can't choose that reddit uses or doesn't use some other random service provider that may or may not be vulnerable." Which is similar to the same problem we all face of 'I can choose to work for company x' but I cant choose that they farm out background checks, HR, payroll, benefits etc. to random companies that may or may not be secure.

Stop allowing a flood on migrants for no reason other than a feel good policy. Social safety nets exist for the populace that contributes over time, not for new fully grown males to suddenly appear with or without families expecting benefits they and their predecessors never contributed to. Down votes show HNs continued ignorance to actual world situations.

You're probably down voted because actual discussion would lead to the Samson Option.

My 2 largest complaints are equally valid for Uber and Lyft.

1)if a driver accepts my fare and then tries calling me to weasel my destination out of me so he can choose whether or not to actually pick me up, my choices are to cancel on him, wait until he gives up hope, or use the compeitor. In all three cases, I am denied the option to rate this driver as we never actually took a trip together. It's a shitty experience that allows these drivers to go unpunished.

2)if my driver is driving in an unsafe manner, i am stuck with them until my destination or have to make them pull over somewhere and sit alone in an unsafe location and wait for another ride.

These two items make both services terribly unreliable for those of us who don't live in the big cities. And even then, cancelling on a particular driver or hailing from a competitor usually leaves you with the exact same driver accepting your request over and over. There is no way to block drivers. And even if there was, there is no way for my fellow riders to know they should block these drivers.

Or you are ascribing characteristics to your friends based on your own biases. Maybe you are banal safe and middle of the road to them.

How is this better than Charles or Fiddler?

You are not obligated to yield to traffic entering from an onramp. You are doing it right by not letting them in front of you.

Globalists are killing the world. Companies making money at the expense of citizens being able to survive are the detriment of society.

Your assertion that we should just lie down and take it like sheep is bullshit.

Choosing to buy local and locally sourced goods is preferred by more people than you think.

They said the same about Japan. Meet the new contender, same as the old contender.

If everything you are eating has sugar added, the item you eat without it will taste bitter and/or bland. Or the sugar made the bland (picked early etc) tomatoes used in the sauce more palateable.

So ctrl-f and ctrl-v using the diff as needed?

I wonder if the man hours wasted on hunting through someone else's code to figure out the bajillion abstracted functions are doing when you are trying to make a change outweigh the minor inconvenience of copying and pasting changes are? Yes the latter introduces more opportunities for errors, but are they more than knowing all your dependencies and ensuring your changes don't break their expectations? Unit tests are only as useful as the man who knows the future.

If the bug being fixed was expected behavior by all the other dependencies, you just screwed over everyone else who should have duplicated what they needed in the first place.
