Not my experience at all in the downtowns of NYC, Boston, Seattle, and SF. DTLA is a very unique downtown due to many factors specific to LA (mainly car culture taking away practical significance from the city center + the housing sprawl) a

Given the OP is asking for opinions on said issue, this seems incredibly normal? What would be the point of a thread where only people with an opinion/preference on one side post they all feel the same way? The point is to get a discus

So I have a Google Sheet that basically does this and I tested this out and got some similar numbers as my sheet, so some things seem to be working well! This is also a great UI! I was pretty impressed with the depth of detail as well, and

While not intended, at Facebook's age and scale, I think gross negligence is a fair assessment. That said, it seems like upthread there's questions on the validity of the report methodology, so probably standby on any diagnosis he

It's absolutely automated, but it begs the question, should it be allowed to be, particularly when dealing with minors? It seems crazy this case slipped through to exist when Facebook has been around for so long.

This is the real answer. The effects of UML will live on forever, but a formal language for it has been dead for a long time in common use, though some of course will still use the exact formality. The value of UMLish things is just visuall

There's an implicit assumption there that this problem will continue until it consumes most every small city, which I don't think is true. At a certain point, it will either stop at a larger/more popular city level or will sp

No argument here, but what does this have to do with the countless other neighborhoods in NYC and the consistent expansion of housing that has happened in them over the past few decades while other cities experienced far worse gentrificatio

Odd answer, but go to the megacities that show resilience and are building housing. In the US, so far that may only be NYC. I know that's not amazing to hear if you have other reservations about NYC, but I think it's the reality u

I don't see where I say anything about those, you might be assuming things here. The whole point is to maintain many of those houses affordability and current residents. If done right, property taxes should not increase significantly,

100% in agreement on the nuance here. I used metro area above rather than city limits, and that will 100% not capture some of that neighborhood level migration away from the cultural center of the city. I think that's important to capt

Good callout, but it's important not to fudge the numbers here. Using this source[0], it seems like the population doubled, not tripled, from 911K to 1.84M. If we use that 10% to 7.5% drop, the city's black residents went from 91K

I would not put Netflix in this category as there has been extensive coverage on how they try to get as much time spent as possible. Autoplaying content at the end of one show is a prime example, and how that time was optimized down to be i
