The actual numbers speak for themselves and the clear motivation for this feature.

About 91% of the victims of rape were riders and about 7% of the victims were drivers. Women made up 81% of the victims while men comprised about 15%

Uber releases safety data: 998 sexual assault incidents including 141 rape reports in 2020

Women Plus were 85% of the victims. This is despite the "ways" Uber has implemented to increase safety.

The "Product Led Growth" crowd doesn't care about charging based on what things cost. They only care about what the buyer will tolerate. The "value metric" that pisses me off the most is per user pricing when the service doesn't incur costs per user.

I'm curious about using the same store for passwords and TOTP. Technically if someone gets screwed to your database, they have both your factors, yes? But I guess it does thwart someone trying to brute force your password.

Unless Reddit's TOS is vastly different from other social media sites, you keep ownership of your content and give them a perpetual license to host it on their site. That way, if you post something illegal, it's still your problem and not theirs.

That being said, copying non-link content is technically copyright infringement from the original poster. It'll probably never amount to anything.

While I don't disagree with the decision, I do think big tech companies are getting to have their cake and eat it too. They can simultaneously decline to host content, while also not being responsible for the content they do host.

At the very least, I would like them to be responsible for content that was reported by users, reviewed by the company's employees/contractors, and then allowed to stay up.

They're all unpaid and probably classified as power users. So they have no employment protections.

What's a situation where you need an unused variable? I'm onboard with go and goland being a bit aggressive with this type of thing, but I can't think of the case where I need to be able to commit an unused variable.
