Your system is still a ways off and even then still takes up a lot a room and is potentially just as lethal to pedestrians and cyclists.

Sick people can often get public transport. I was seriously ill this year and got a bus to hospital. And your comfort comes at the cost of massive amounts of space, clean air and thousands of deaths each year. Sure, perhaps we need more gra

Yeah, it does. People can use public transport. Or legs.

I still disagree with you. The idea that you should only become a software engineer if you want to continue it outside of working hours is one of the reasons our industry is primarily made up of white (or Asian) middle class men. It's

Disregard that first piece of advice. You'll hear a lot of bullshit about how only people who love programming and want to spend all their free time building things should be software engineers. Ignore them, ignore the imposter syndrom

Hmm, I wonder how much Amazon expect their sales to increase by if a $15 minimum wage in implemented. Could it be a case that they expect the increase in customer spending to offset the costs?

Hmmm interesting observation about the long dark winters. Edinburgh similarly has a disproportionately successful tech industry (it's the same latitude as Moscow) and Estonia has also done very well in tech (for many other reasons but

Interesting thought. Can you provide any historical examples of this?

But travel is relatively new idea to much of the population. We don't realise how little folk used to travel because those who did travel are disproportionately famous.

It's a balance, one that AirBnB is making far more difficult to maintain.

But that additional housing can also destroy the character of existing areas. That doesn't mean we don't build, just that it has to be considered, which is harder to do when demand is increasing too quickly.

I suspect that partial apartment rentals are far less disruptive. It's full apartment rents that are causing issues. I think this also comes back to over tourism. Travel is the new materialism. It used to be you kept up with the Jones

Why the concern about fences? I remember being taught to cross roads both at school and by my dad aged 4ish. IIRC they would teach you first, then they would start to ask me 'how do we going to cross then?' and make me lead the wa

I wonder how much urbanisation plays into this. If your city is designed entirely around cars there's far less opportunity for kids to go out themselves. I've always lived in a walkable places (ie in the UK) and growing up was tol

Medical bills aside (the US system is batshit!!) good financial planning should make going from 2 and 3 to 1 far less likely. Unfortunately many people don't bother to save significant backup funds while things are going well.

Maybe, but even if it stays AMP can the domain atleast be directly attributed.

Not directly related to the article but could this be updated to link to the full article not the AMP version: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/21... Would be great if we could a

We need license plates, else people can't identify cars in the case of incidents.

One solution would be social entrepreneurs. But I guess the issue with that is regulation. I can imagine lobbyists and NIMBYs blocking those proposals.

But they might also be able to afford to stop working for a year to say raise young children. I think the solution is to encourage everyone to take advantage of this system.

That too. I was more suggesting that some of us aren't particularly close with our family or people people. That and you can not particularly like someone without them being horrible, sometimes personalities just clash or are indiffere

I don't expect my siblings to be any of those for me. It's incredibly unfair to put those expectations on family.

I'm not suggesting someone goes and tells them, that would just cause more pain. I'm suggesting we stop that life from existing in the first place.

No there's not, because one lifeform's existed can effect others. Additionally when debating if life should come to be, the lifeform in question can't have an opinion until after the fact.

You can do that via good parenting too. The myth of the self absorbed only child is just that, a myth.
477.
by ck425 8y ago
Life isn't automatically good!!! Bad parenting can, and does, create lives that are arguably better to have never existed.

As someone with 4 siblings I'm going to have to disagree with this. Siblings aren't inherently good things to have in life. I know plenty of only children who have never wanted a sibling and plenty of folk who are largely indiff

I wonder if samsung will follow suit. I imagine building privacy conditions into android is likely harder than it is for Apple into iOS..

As a long time user of Android, I am for the first time contemplating buying an iPhone. I probably would if not for the lack of headphone jack. If I ever replace my old, rarely used home laptop, I'd probably get a macbook (unless of co
