You're sadly mistaken if you think a New York, one of the largest and busiest cities in human existence, is "just another large City", and that the solution to their transportation woes is to just lock it down and work on it.

Yes, if the destination is say a city, then those who live even just an hour away want to come and stay sometimes. Same is true for beaches and lakes, near ski resorts, ect.

That's what I thought. Unfortunately that also affects locals, which diminishes the benefit.

How would you differentiate a local vs. a tourist? Edit: is that even legal?

Don't get me wrong, I have great luck interacting with women in person. The online service is supposed to make it easier for people to meet, but quite honestly, that doesn't earn money. The plan becomes to make it difficult on pur

I've had even less luck on bumble, actually, along with less women that I personally am interested in.

Within, you'll find both facts and my own opinions. I believe that, in the beginning, Tinder shocked women because they a) were reaffirmed that they were held in high value, and b) a subset of men will ruin a good chance (i.e. matching

I'll second this. Recently I moved back to my home state and decided to have my more serious mail sent to my grandparent's permanent home address instead of my temporary new address. I signed up for this Informed Delivery service,

I'm speaking as a long term and paid user of both Tinder and OKC. Online dating is complete garbage and I feel regret every time I open the services. The fact that Facebook is joining the game makes my stomach churn.

I disagree. A powerful smart TV is more practical for the average consumer than a more sophisticated system. A big problem for entertainment lovers is that there are too many things to control, thus creating the all-in-one market. On the ot

I had this idea several years ago, but didn't really know how to talk about it. Essentially, if voters can attribute a value (between 0 and 10, let's say) to every candidate they like, then we can see a better picture of who the c

You could argue that few people use passwords in a properly secure manner, and you'd likely be right, but the real question is what will replace passwords? The truth you describe doesn't mean that we should convince people to use

Not that I support this idea, but you can think of this as equal opportunity vs equal equity. Some people might be better off naturally, and others might have created something better for themselves, but equal equity means that those who ha

Another fun feature with Gmail is that you can add arbitrary text to the end of your email addresses. This can be helpful if you're interested in tracking the origins of where your received emails come from. For instance, if you sign u

I think that forcing other subjects on the bus to view your advertisement would be insulting and an eyesore for them, thus being humiliating for you. I don't think a single logo would suffice though, I'm thinking of a very large a

The beautiful thing about software is, if they don't like it, they can recreate it themselves. But yes, the incentive to show ads is quite high by the advertisers. We tried the easy way (pay for the app) and it didn't work, now we

As much as I hate your attitude, you're not wrong. Ads were created to get you thinking about someone's product, and the more you think about it, the more likely you'll purchase it. > It's the consumer's fault I&
