This article is so dumb I'm not even sure where to start. Vice is an outrage generator and they're working overtime on this one.
Seriously, who cares? How many people even knew there was a physical building for über drivers to go into before this was posted? My initial reaction was, "they have a bathroom???" not "omg they segregate them!".
This story shouldn't exist and it certainly shouldn't be on HN.
> That's why we have separate bathrooms and locker room
I've never heard anyone claim this before, do you have any source or evidence to support this? Wouldn't that imply "family washrooms" or co-ed are hot-spots for rape? That seems like hyperbole.
The simplest reason would be for privacy between the sexes and keeping with a tradition of segregating washrooms that dates back to the Victorian Era. Before which, public bathrooms were male only, making things very difficult for women to be about in public. Thus the creation of female public washrooms was to allow them the same rights as men, not to prevent men from assaulting them in co-ed facilities.
I see this comment everytime a post about ride hailing services pops up... but I can't figure out how it's relevant to this discussion this time.
The only word you mentioned that was relevant was safe... So are you suggesting that because they're fighting over costs with lyft, they pay drivers less which reduces reputable drivers and "poorer and more likely to rape" drivers join the app?
Yes, or more accurately less desirable drivers. My recent rides on Lyft and Uber have not been good. Either the cars were clapped out or the drivers were telling me how they could not make a living and were looking for other work.
And even in that situation, the queue wasn't much longer than the number of stalls of the supercharger, so the waiting time should be like 30 minutes. That certainly sucks , but at some gas stations you can have quite some wait time too, if they are overrun by demand.
Extra points for adding the extremely trivial and also very low cost steps of signing up under a corporate name and removing your personal identity from the account altogether.
Unless you're paying Amazon in bitcoin you're not removing your personal identity from the account.
> If geeks were influential, the “year of the Linux desktop”
I don't see how that's relevant, if I set up or recommend Firefox on my parents computer with ad block they're going to trust me and use it over chrome/safari/edge. If I set up Linux instead of windows they're going to be extremely confused, annoyed and won't let me touch their computer again..
Geeks are extremely influential to their non technical friends but why would you ever impose Linux on them? I don't see how it would benefit them and you'd have to deal with the endless fallout and questions that arise.

The only one that's as good as I remember from childhood is Kinder eggs. That chocolate is amazing and waaaay better than we deserved as kids. Still get one for xmas every year although could do without the plastic toy.
Funnily enough I've always thought Kinder chocolate was way too sweet (even as a kid) and I remember being flummoxed by the tagline of Kinder ads (in Italy, but that's where they're from), which was "more milk, less cocoa". Kid me was thinking: "wait! Isn't milk way cheaper than and less delicious than cocoa?". But then again it was probably aimed at health conscious parents...
Cocoa is pretty fat and (at least in Italy) there is a popular belief that it might cause acne.
I think it's also interesting to note that Nutella (also from Ferrero) has a history of being a post-WW2 pure chocolate substitute at a time when hazelnuts were much cheaper and easier to source. It seems to be in the company's DNA to produce chocolate-based confections while touting chocolate as the bad guy.
Cocoa powder is just fat and carbs with basically no other nutritional content but it's not really any worse for you than other sources of the same thing.
The milk is probably the most nutritionally rich thing in your average chocolate bar.
There isn't a European counterpart to American milk chocolate (which mostly tastes like Hershey's) is there? Like, the reason they are different isn't quality, it's that they are different.
Or have you sampled American chocolates that do not try to follow Hershey's flavor and found that they are all inferior?
AFAIK, In Europe the minimum cocoa content for chocolate is 20% while 10% in the US. The US mainstream chocolate handles the lacking cocoa by adding more sugar. Of course you'll find all kinds of boutique chocolates everywhere, but the earlier anecdotes seemed to be about the cheap mainstream stuff.
