I buy from AliExpress and eBay not because of the shipping fee but because most of the time digikey/mouser doesn't sell hobbyist friendly form factors (like breakout boards) and some of this ic come in really tiny package (like tssop) which for an amateur are difficult to solder. Sometimes they need a resistor or a capacitor or a transistor easier to buy a board with everything on it that you stick to another board and that's it.

I started buying clothing from the brand itself (eg shoes directly from adidas, etc). Some appliances also direct. I sometimes buy food from Walmart but only if they are the retailer (they don't seem to commingle inventories). I bought some ssd directly from Samsung site. Another problem with amazon is the sheer quantity of not-counterfeit but cheap unknown knockoffs. It seems more like an expensive AliExpress.

In nodejs you can use streams or rxjs. Both handle backpressure quite nicely. They work on bytes and on objects as well.

So basically your answer tldr is "gig economy workers are dumb and financial/life decisions must be made for them in group and disregarding their particular situation and free will"

Hey, I am no fan of uber practices either, they usually are on a grey legal area. But if people do not realize this it is not good for them why the state should help them out. This is not a complex financial product or a dangerous chemical that most people do not understand. This is Uber pays A, fooodora pays B. If B > A which company are you going to stay with ?

I'll put it the other way around if Uber does not attract enough bikers who is going to deliver their food ? It is basic supply and demand. Is there is a market but no suppliers, prices go up. If there is plenty of suppliers (bikers), prices go down. If the middleman (uber) is too greedy and screws the buyer or the supplier they are going to go with another middleman.

It is complicated. Sweden also seems very regulated (as most of the EU).

Yes there is no bread, no rice, no sugar, etc. Phone is 4 year old. Computer is 5 year old. Things were not so bad back then.

Yeah right because Sweden is in worst shape than my ivory tower country Venezuela.

That sounds great. Let's regulate it. I am from Venezuela and can tell you the wonders regulation has done for my country's economy.

They put this ridiculous sign up bonuses, mass mail them and expect people not to take advantages of them. Want loyalty give better service and value and not the first 3 months only.

I think it's pretty obvious that Travis Kalanick should resign. He is the constant in all these stories supporting this nasty company culture. In the past year he has also been linked with Uber's shady business (attacks on press, fake income for drivers, etc) . He is the one pushing on borderline legal tactics. Even their business model is borderline legal (if anything). How he can deny knowing anything like the sexual harassment not happening ?

Pigeons and human have a pact. You continue and they will fly away in the last second. Cars don't need to stop for pigeons. https://youtu.be/xPCZtrac-Ss

Usually intercontinental business class flight amenities kit includes a toothbrush and a toothpaste. I don't know why hotels can provide one.
