Why are the three Chrome derivatives missing features Chrome has? Is it a porting issue or are they just that far behind on pulling in upstream changes?

DHH is a contrarian. Any benefits of the cloud he might get are overridden by the fact that he needs to be different (and blog about it).

See his stances on Typescript, workplace inclusion, TDD, etc.

A recent pilot in Prague enabled Hosts on Airbnb to trial Minut noise sensors, and found a reminder can be all that’s needed for a potential noise issue to be quickly resolved

If a reminder is all that's needed, the device could be an offline decibel meter that lights up when the volume exceeds a threshold.

Plus I'm sure parents are going to love their phone blowing up when little Billy is a bit too cranky at bed time.

It was made by an edgelord for edgelords.

You've changed the perspective to potential wait time for male passengers. That may be true but it doesn't have an adverse impact on male drivers, which is what was stated in the comment I replied to.

It is objectively always better to be in the women+ group than outside of it.

Based on Ubers data, women+ are raped five times as often in ride shares. "Objectively" I bet a lot of women+ would choose "maybe a longer wait" over "5x chance of being raped".

The protected category doesn't matter, I don't see how anyone is getting a leg up or being held back by the feature.

The option allows customers to prioritize drivers...

Nope, it doesn't. The feature is for drivers, not passengers.

Explain how sorting the list of available passengers by gender is discrimination? It's being rolled out in huge metropolitan markets so there will be enough drivers for everyone to get one.

Your comment makes no sense given the details provided in the article. The toggle runs a gender-based sort on available passengers when a driver indicates they're ready to pick up a new passenger.

  • Male driver, without this toggle, indicates they're ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by current algorithms.
  • Female+ driver, with this toggle off, indicates they're ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by current algorithms.
  • Female+ driver, with this toggle on, indicates they're ready for a passenger? All waiting passengers are sorted by gender then current algorithms.

At no point does the pool of available passengers for male drivers decrease.
