China's going to have a hell of a time maintaining all this infrastructure they're building in a few decades. Maintaining things currently in use is a lot harder than building new, just ask the US.

There will always be a percentage of homeless that are as you say, usually because of mental illness. To say "most" of them fall into that category is a huge assumption to make without data to back it up.

While I don't doubt billionaires hoard money, I think trying to solve this with taxes is misguided. They should look at the stats showing how many homeless ended up in that situation because of rising rents. I'd be willing to bet

Or you could use your critical thinking skills and keep in mind that they're not going to catch everything. This falls in line with the mentality of "don't let perfectionism get in the way of progress". We need to focus

What'll end up happening is that when they run out of wealthier clientele to buy/rent those, those apartments will sit vacant and they'll have to lower prices, thereby opening them up to the middle class. Companies will alway

Whenever this debate comes up, I find it interesting that it's rarely discussed the theological ramifications of this. God is generally described as a being who is outside the plane of our existence, and created our existence. It'

This is the logical conclusion of companies giving in to shareholders frothing at the mouth for increased profitability by any means necessary. Manufacturing crucial components like motherboards in China is just absurd.

Because employers often have more power than employees in that negotiation. they'll pay as little as possible/legal, with working conditions skirting what's allowed by law. On top of that, taxpayers will have to foot the bill

I mean couldn't you just solve all this by tying a ticket purchase to a name, and make them non-transferable? Can't sell a ticket if the buyer will have to provide your ID.

All the gov would need to do is mandate that colleges charge tuition as a percentage of post-graduation salary, and you'd see half of these low quality colleges peddling worthless degrees go bankrupt overnight. At the end of the day, t

At least the taxi thing was meant to curb road congestion. SFs scooter regulation seems like the intent is "how dare you run a business without our oversight?".

Equal rights is not the same thing as equal outcomes. This law seems very ham fisted.

Between NIMBY antics with housing development and absurd levels of gov overreach in situations like this, SF is going to end up cannibalizing its tech industry. So many cities would kill to be the center of such a fast growing and high payi

The amount of people downplaying Russia in this thread is absurd.

It never ceases to amaze me how arrogant some tech startups can be with their pricing. Plume is one of many that seem to target consumers that simultaneously have a lot of disposable income and are stupid with their money. A subscription fe

If so, this could allow front facing cameras and webcams to be placed dead center of the screen, allowing 0 bezels without awkward camera placement like Dell XPS has.

I'm willing to bet this is their first step towards eventually being able to show you how outfits will look on you without needing to try them on. Thus eliminating one of the last remaining reasons people buy clothes at brick and morta

Why do we even need political parties anymore? I understand that it was harder to transfer information back in the day, and so politicians aligning with parties made things easier. Now that we have the internet and media, all parties seem t

Keep in mind many people check in at home the day before. I flew recently and Delta offered me the option and I declined because I had to arrive at a certain time.

I'm willing to bet the real catalyst to ISP competition will be LEO satellite constellations like the one SpaceX has mentioned they're working on. Much better ping, cheaper/faster than wiring up entire cities and having to di

Ah I see. Unfortunately they don't always have a choice when it comes to those commutes. Living near business districs can be cost prohibitive.

You're obviously in the tiny tiny minority if your commute is 2 minutes. Surely you can understand why many people who have longer commutes and longer work days wouldn't want to spend more time/effort grocery shopping, when t

I would say building out a comprehensive subway/commuter rail network will make a much bigger difference. Being able to park your car at the nearest suburban station's parking garage and taking the train from there will make it so
