Tangentially related, but this made me think of Aristotle's teachings on technology effectively as a "prosthesis" or non-biological way to evolve. Even back then, being able to record trade deals, journal, and so on enabled folks to offload some of their brain capacity. Today, we can consider the smartphone as an extension of our brain.

Of course, it is important to note that I am trying to discuss these neutrally and do believe that there are negative repercussions of offloading too much from our brains onto these devices, particularly if it results in relying on social media dopamine hits and news articles to tell folks what to think...
+1, the issue here is not that errors can occur but instead how a company responds. It’s tough to be sympathetic to leaders in a company that were aware of the errors and then took no action for years to remedy it, particularly as the error resulted in overcharging customers.
It's anglicised as it's using the English pluralization. In Slovene, the plural of "spomenik" is "spomeniki", here it's "spomeniks". It's even explained at the bottom of the post.
It's not, but WeWork heavily implied they are and that seems to be a key part of their new strategy. Obviously many people are skeptical (including myself), but I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
Apparently the unit economics are still showing lost money because they aren't fully leased at many of their locations so their rationale is that as those locations, mature, they will fill up. Which is pretty normal in the real estate market.
But it's definitely not a certainty that the locations will fill to capacity.
But stackoverflow asked users to provide an email address for the gift card as part of the survey.
Speaking from my past experience when running surveys like this at a startup, you are given the option to get a claim code to send to your customers, or to provide their emails for a one-off direct gift card message. The latter was safer because there is no handling of sensitive financial info (a live gift card code is effectively cash).
