They have fractured many other things with their regulations. Auto emissions, cancer warnings on everything.... I don't think they fear a fractured internet, if they even can understand that.

In the USA, unless you're in a rural area with minimal zoning, there are often minimum square footage requirements on any new construction, either imposed by local zoning or neighborhood convenants. So I could buy a lot in a new develo

How many developers in 2019 ever deal with pointers? Not saying it's unimportant, but I haven't used a language that directly exposed pointers since I last coded anything serious in C, over 20 years ago.

Why are unions even permitted on public infrastructure projects? All municipal projects that I have heard about in recent years had extensive work rules, safety, "living wage" requirements, etc. as conditions of the bid.

I frequently get actual mail addressed to my neighbors, so IMO that's a worse problem than seeing the images of the envelopes or packages. I also don't know what problem this really solves. Grasping at straws for the USPS to remai

That's not how the market works. You may think that way, but most people shop on price above all else.

I think a big part of this is, like health care, insurance hiding the true cost from consumers. I have a vision plan as a benefit from my job. Covers exams and eyeware, so I have never paid more than a small co-pay for glasses and I had no

Most of these cars are not fitted with tires that can safely handle that speed. It would be a dangerous thing to try, even on a track, if the car is not properly prepped beforehand.
