^ This. Think about the capacity constraints during your typical commute. All those times you have ever been held up in traffic could be massively diminished thanks to increase short-hop flight commutes.

Interesting. Perhaps we should focus more on whether the labor is safe and meets reasonable time requirements than to arbitrarily impose an age cutoff. I agree with you that attending school is not always the same as learning. Before recent

Free speech definitely. It's enshrined in our constitution. Anonymous speech though? I don't see any amendments about that. If you believe you are anonymous now, then I don't believe you have been paying attention to what the

So be offended and down-vote me for expressing my opinion then? What do you think a social security number is exactly? You seem to be confusing identification with independence. I have read both papers thank you.

Just to be clear here, Google and Facebook can and do track everywhere I go, and a lot of what I say aloud to other people, but they are now complaining about registering your online identity? The internet in its current form is broken let&

This is a recent phenomenon, mostly localized to the U.S. It happened after WW2 in the 1950s I believe. There's no reason it will continue.

The nuclear family concept was always odd to me anyway. Myself, my wife, and my daughter are building a house with my parents right now. If you can find a good job in the same city, I have trouble understanding why someone wouldn't wan

I live in Kansas City, and people here are pretty bonkers for it. Prior to Google Fiber we had AT&T and Time Warner Cable. I can't even begin to list all of the amazing features Google Fiber provides, and the service experience is

Everything I've read about wireless is that we're hitting a wall when it comes to wireless ranges. 5GHz for example is much faster, but also a much shorter range (and bad wall/tree penetration) vs 2.4GHz. Maybe I'm wrong

We're talking about 3 different technologies here: 1. Fiber optics - this is growing, and companies which have a lot of it are continuing to lay it out (albeit slowly). Also see, Altice's recent announcement. My hope is that post-

I have trouble believing that a Sprint-TMUS merger wasn't discussed if they were in the same room. Investors are betting that TMUS is going to get some offers within the next year. TMUS is up 16% since the election vs the S&P500 at

Yeah people dump on Zillow quite a bit. Probably because home values can be a very emotionally stirring event. Zillow's aggregate economic data is solid, often a better predictor than the Case Shiller Index. I expect that Zestimates wi

I know that the fake news narrative is popular right now, and maybe it's just me, but do you think maybe you might be a little biased here? How is it not censorship when somebody actively monitors what is posted on Twitter and makes a

Where I live we have big disposal fees for tires, dishwashers, etc. Isn't that just the free market form of an incentive? Does Sweden not have garbage disposal fees?

Firms in China also have massive state subsidies due to currency controls and bank funding requirements. In the 1980s Japan went on an international buying spree only to see its economy crash in the late 80s/90s. Eventually even govern
