The people preventing new construction are greedy. They are dictating what others can and can't do with their land in order to protect their own interests. They get million dollar home values and everyone else is stuck with $3000+&#x2F

Don't increase road capacity, people will start biking, or getting scooters, or taking public transit. High density also generally means you have groceries and restaurants near your house so you don't need to drive to eat. If you

Wasn't that a proposal to increase view point diversity? My understanding was that they wanted more conservative board seats. That's different from the diversity this article discusses.

What did Mac OS build off of? Would that be possible without OSS? Same for the large web services. How far would any of those companies have gotten without open source? No one is arguing that unfunded projects will kick the ass of funded on

Your friends and family members shared their contacts. So they had friend -> your number. Then when you enter your number it can back step that to your friend. With just a few connections like that they can suggest all those friends&#x27

I was just looking at XPSs for a new laptop. My SO has the XPS 15. I ended up getting a 13" System 76 instead. My main reasons were that I didn't need a touch screen and the webcam is only good if you're a hand model. I just

The only bummer for me with HiDPI are the Linux apps that don't support it yet. If I launch Aseprite or Processing3D the windows are comically zoomed out. Small price to pay for using the (IMO) best OS for developers.

I realize this is a silly idea, but would forming a religion around privacy ever provide protection from this sort of thing?

I honestly hate Apple's locked down ecosystem and have bought Android consistently for the last 7+ years. I've considered getting an iPhone as my next phone because of privacy concerns. I'm leaning more towards not carrying a

I have problems with food. Gluten gives me sinus headaches so I don't eat it. There's no real research on celiacs and sinus headaches. All the time people disregard my experience, my ability to identify pain, my ability to objecti

I'm moving to the bay area from Baltimore for a lot of reasons. First, the salary increase means I'll be putting away more money every year, housing costs considered. Second, Baltimore is a mess. The roads are horrible and there i

This was absolutely my first thought too. I've developed for work over the last year on Windows. It's dark patterns to suck up data and ads now. There are ads on the login screen!

Any reason why this case would diverge from the rule of ~30 being statistically relevant?

I like the idea of micro transactions for user interactions, I just don't love the idea of it being via a cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies convert electricity to currency, which is great for energy companies, but I would much rather us

I'll have to give Mastadon a second glance. I think it being similar to Twitter gave me a bit of a prejudice against it.

Yea, I feel that. My girlfriend is absolutely allergic to spending money on anything. On the other hand, you could probably get my dad on a site to keep up with his family and he wouldn't think twice about the cost. How this changes be

Yea, that's one piece of information I haven't found. I'll have to look if it's in SEC filings for credit card companies.

The fixed transaction cost is really what eats up low value transactions. 30 cent fee means anything below 30 cents is unusable. A 2 percent fee with no fixed cost would be fine with me. If you know of a processor that does this, let me kno

I bet a lot of those go to rewards. Also, cards are pretty insecure. Maybe a phone with a lock on it to prevent physical theft and use, and all the data you would have associated with each transaction would make a great fraud detection syst

Venmo takes a loss just to get people into the PayPal ecosystem. The other P2P options are just there in hopes they take off. My understanding of Apple pay was that it's just a pass through for credit card transactions. Those P2P apps

Background on the two. Alipay started similar to eBay, serving e-commerce, and WeChat payments captured the P2P market. Both have expanded to physical retail.

I applied to YC to bring this idea to the US (rejected). Credit cards are our primary form of digital money and their fees are excessive. The basic design was ACH money into the wallet, transfer money between balances for ultra low cost (1%

I would be thrilled for some regulatory interventions. We can start with getting added sugar out of just about every product. Changing the rhetoric about caffeine would be nice too. Everyone talks about it as if it is a given that we use it
