How did we slip away so far from this being fairly obvious? Cities have worked well this way for hundreds of years. Maybe the industrial revolution made cities too unpleasant? Were we too spoiled by the automobile industry and government ro

I think it's hard because the bullying has been done and the law is already in their favor. This isn't a grey area case of "is it legal or not" it's a case where the IA broke the already established rules. They&#x27

Right but we're operating in the reality of the American court system. Idealistically I agree with you, but it's not pragmatic — the law is very obviously in the publisher's favor (they whimmed it to their side years ago).

It's troublesome, but I find it relatable if you boil things down to strong ideologies and hyperbole which is a lot of the problem with our current state of political discourse. For example, it might be your stance that all Trump suppo

Yeah like any legal battle it's a lot of posturing and back-and-fourth. It's just anxiety producing to not see what their survival plan is (and of course it wouldn't really benefit them to share that publicly!).

It's not really 1 vs the other IMO. I use flexbox within grid quite often, for example. They're two different tools with some overlap... Grid is absurdly more powerful for full-page layout than flexbox (which is amazing for indi

It's in their best interest to settle in a capitulating way that will hurt them but not kill them. This might have to include a public apology that admits they're in the wrong because publishers can be petty about this type of thi

So they sent an email to their users that states: >We can assure you that your DNA information was not compromised, as GEDmatch does not store raw DNA files on the site. When you upload your data, the information is encoded, and the raw

It's got to sting a little to use the platform you were laid off from to look for a new job. I wish everyone the best.

If they wanted a better outcome for all then they wouldn't be billionaires, IMO. The fact that they exist is the sign of a problem that they're happy to exploit and automatically warrants suspicion about their motives.

They're already a significant value that others cannot meet. That's why a billionaire wants to kill it and ingest the money elsewhere. The elimination of money orders from the USPS alone would push more people to already-abusive p

They don't use a GDS on the front end, but doesn't all that data feed into a GDS somewhere on the backend? I don't know much about Sabre but I know Amadeus reaches pretty far across everything.

This is like saying "stop making everything political." It's not even possible. Everything is a statement, the lack of intention can be doubly so. There are entire utilitarian schools of thought in fashion just like there is

I would buy these pants in a heartbeat. I'm fairly slender, like tight fitting pants, but hate the hip pockets. Cargo pants are baggy and everything rattles around in the large pockets. These are a really thoughtful middleground where

All fashion has symbolism. Just because you ignore doesn't mean it isn't there.

Nurses get about double the salary and literally signed up for this type of work. School teachers often buy their own supplies and aren't remotely prepared for this.

It shouldn't be, but the bleeding edge of markets have always relied on having the latest data from anywhere that can indicate a shift and I don't expect it to change anytime soon.

It's not rocket science, it's because they don't have to raise the kids - I'd be surprised if elon saw his kids for more than a third as much as the middle class sees theirs. Hell he wasn't even at the birth of his

Following this logic (and ignoring the increase of suffering as a raw product of addition) it's totally possible there'd be less suffering if we stayed in loosely connected hunter-gatherer societies.

It's obviously very difficult to predict, but there's also some expert speculation that affluence will spread widely enough to slow the birth rate down to be close to the death rate and we'll reach some sort of equilibrium.

Yes! I stopped building working prototypes because of this misconception.

I guess I could just link to the tweet where the president supported the display of the confederate flag. You don't have to dig deep on this one. There are exaggerations on both sides for sure, but despite those you can clearly point t

While this is true, it's also true that significantly fewer families can do it now than could in 1970. It's also true that the most predictable factor when it comes to student performance in school is household income.

Yeah that's fair, on the other end I think cities should take noise pollution and reduction seriously. Banning things like fireworks and gas powered leaf blowers can have a bigger impact on mental health than many people realize.

Yeah sure but in the meantime there are hundreds of millions of us living in existing housing stock (and many rent), if a room device worked nearly as well as noise cancelling headphones I'd pay $2k for it. That's still fairly che
