If we're talking US real estate here, it's largely because of zoning making it de facto illegal to build anything except suburban single family homes or a downtown high rise, and because our public transit was dismantled long ago

As a hater of all three mainstream operating systems, I can say you've managed to upgrade my opinion of linux neckbeards, and downgrade my opinion of windows neckbeards all in one post. Incredible work.

There is an increasingly intense glow on this forum, which I suppose shouldn't be surprising considering SV history: https://unherd.com/2019/04/the-secret-history-of-silicon-val...

I found this book pretty unconvincing, with way too few sources and way too many flimsy inferences. However, there is a great book about CIA guys creeping around Laurel Canyon, called Chaos [0]. It's filled with sources, research, an

A company always has shareholders. A privately-held share simply changed hands in private transactions, rather than in the public stock markets. So an LBO happens when a PE buyer makes a sufficiently attractive offer (privately) to the shar

I’d say they kept it together a little longer. My 2006 e46 still had most of that BMW DNA from my friends’ e36 & e30s… Even my 2010 e83 is essentially a lifted e46 (with a really bad suspension tune). IMHO it was really the f chassis wh

It is inexcusably obnoxious to do without iCloud, thanks to iOS' hamstrung file system & APIs, plus lightning being stuck on USB 2.0 speeds. But I think this is why the iPad Pro is on USB-C now: so you can hook up an external hard

The issue with private dwellings is it allows the citizen to destroy his contraband/evidence, so even WITH a lawful warrant, the US gov cannot access/seize it until it’s too late. #endprivatedwellings #camerasineverybathroom #thef

He's clearly talking about the second-order effects of backup camera-centric design (worse visibility through the windows and touchscreen controls). Try reading a little more closely.

By accepting their framing of "CSAM vs personal privacy" as the moral conundrum, you have already lost. You will be forced to compromise over and over, trading a little liberty for a little security, "for the children."

Kojima was playing with the idea back in 2001: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKl6WjfDqYA&pp=ygUUbWdzMiBha... It's probably a trope from even older sci-fi, though I don't know which.

As a former E46 and current E83 owner, my advice is go for the earliest chassis code you can find while keeping mileage low. You need to find a unicorn at this point. (Unless you like turbos - then you have to go E90 or newer.) BMW really r
