Stealing my wallet is generally worth less than stealing my phone even before you take into account the value of the data and the grief and expense of replacing my phone.
The fact that parking systems won't install wireless credit card readers and instead will foist the externality onto me of 1) having a phone, 2) that is currently charged, 3) has a relatively high resolution camera, and 4) capable of high bandwidth internet access is the kind of thing that ticks me off.
Instead of saying "there is no evidence that Covid is airborne", they should say "there is no evidence about whether Covid is airborne or not", in other words, there is no evidence one way or the other. Just saying "no evidence that X" omits the crucial detail -- whether there is evidence that (not X).
I had an uncomfortable experience with Upwork. I hired a freelancer to work on my project. I noticed some issues with honesty and ethics in his work and communication with me. I got a really bad feeling about him and we ended the contract.
Then I did some research on him and it turns out he is a convicted felon for distributing child ____. His case was covered extensively in international news. I alerted Upwork to this and also showed them proof of his dishonest behavior with me (all communication with him was within the Upwork messaging system). Yet as far as I can see nothing changed and he is still very prominently featured on their platform. (Also he has changed his name now.)
He left me a quite vengeful review & rating (turns out he does this with many of his clients). He was working on a sensitive area of my business. Feels stressful to have a conflict with someone like him. I felt nervous even reporting him.
