As Rumelt (Good Strategy/Bad Strategy) would say, a slogan is not a strategy.

I agree with your synopsis of Good Strategy Bad Strategy.

I agree with you. I wish I didn't. I enjoy the romantic side that WorldMaker points to, but the fact is that when I'm looking up a recipe on the web I'm just trying to make it. All I want talked about is whether or not it&#

You can't make those modifications without others letting you. And when the others don't want that happening in their neighborhood, after 50 years of precedent they decide the best option is to prevent the problem and only allow

So only people without cars would buy them? Do you think a developer would risk only selling to that market? It seems like that would limit what they could sell the units for, and as a buyer I would have to think carefully about being abl

Yes- we had to handle the roads as a home owner's association (the developer had to build them).

The municipality is the people. What's wrong with them wanting to guarantee that option b) exists?

You make it sound easy. There is a huge fight in my town right now about exactly that. You see, when you develop land, that land is being used. You can't go ahead and develop the same land another way. The people in "Old Town&

Indeed. I tell people that what the world knows about urban development comes from mistakes made in MA. I live here too. Not in Somerville- I’m up in Marblehead- but I moved from Gaithersburg MD. At first I was annoyed by the regs when

Uhh yeah. It’s not because of setbacks or hurricane structural requirements or parking spaces. The “cookie cutter cul-de-sac” neighborhoods are the affordable neighborhoods built to fight that. What you present as evidence contradicts you

It may change in the future, but if you have a home with two working adults you need to allow for roughly two cars per family (like, 180 per 200 units). Otherwise you have serious community issues. I’ve been president of a community. The

Go 'Noles! 80% of a college's costs are personnel. Not only are there a heckuva lot more services being offered, and the services offered are being offered more broadly, but colleges are also trying to be all things. A college tha

I have a hunch it's the bit about the parking that is illegal. To be honest, the whole post rubbed me wrong- like an industry shill or something trying to start some grass-roots anti-building-regulation discord.

Have you ever been to an area that doesn't have regulations on housing? No, thank you. There will be some crappy ones, but overall it's a win.

I’ve known three sets of identical twins. In each case the personalities were very different. Outgoing vs reserved, aggressive vs laid back, etc. I could easily see one wanting to be held more than the other.

They're public. The funders' "payout" ship has sailed. They've also been profitable this year, according to Yahoo finance.

Could there be some way to randomize the canvas and audio fingerprints? An extension that obfuscates them in some sense by sending false signals? Edit: Perhaps overloading the toDataURL() function to add random noise. https://b

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted. They are profitable; they exceeded expectations by a lot Q2. Not sure what the problem is. This happened to Yahoo too. They were quite happily tooling along, making profits, building cool stu

Serve content related ads and don't track. I'd be fine with that.

Another mindset to use is to remember it's NOT a justice system. It's a legal system, so get the best damn team you can. Because you're in a legal game not a justice game. Know what game you're playing before you step o

This is an awesome reference. I had read the original SA article and skipped this discussion (my focus at the time was more on student techniques). You've linked to an excellent thread.
