Colonization was an internationally accepted standard doesn't mean it was fair. Turkey and Ottoman Empire before her, was forced to sign many deals that hindered her development and let European counties pillage all the resources, this

Well mainland Turkey is also inhabited by Greeks for a millennia they all converted to another religion and not called Greeks anymore. I don't think we can decide what's right and what's wrong by trying to analyze flimsy poli

UNCLOS is problematic when it comes to islands, disputes are usually solved on 1-1 agreements between countries or not solved like South China Sea. Google "Kastellorizo", a small island between Rhodes and Cyprus. Greece claims EZ

Have you been following the ridiculous Maritime EZ claims from the Greek nationalists? This is just a bargaining chip on the table.

The better formula is 'no empty walls'. Vancouver does this. Retail doesn't fit in every single location when that's the case ground floor is replaced by street level townhouse style entrances to individual units..

You can already pay $500k for an EB-5 visa and get a green card. I dont know why anyone would lie to the US government and pay $250k just to be able to stay in the country.

He doesnt even have a full bar, that would have been another 300k for the full bar alcohol license.. Restaurant looks amazing, just the right location. I think he is going to make a killing.

San Francisco commercial corridors do not allow chain retailers as a measure to preserve neigboorhood character. As a side effect this somewhat keeps the rent down. One of the few examples where over regulating a market kind of works well..

Very few homeless people in Iran as people can always return back to their 'village' if they don't make it in the city. There will be relatives helping them out and land more or less costs nothing.

I agree. Milton Friedman says; "Instead of giving non-cash benefits like food stamps, housing vouchers and education we should calculate how much those benefits cost per person distribute that to people as negative income tax." Go

Is the intention here to run mini react-native apps (Dapps?) within a bigger app (status app itself)?

I agree with you, I would never consider living in a car centric American city. New York is my favorite American city (just as expensive) and I am lucky that lived there before moving to SF. Maybe I will move back one day but for now I am e

People have different lifestyles and they should choose where they move according to that. Lots of people move to SF from smaller cities and expect to continue living a suburban life.

I spent yesterday using VSCode and flow I can say that flow plugin is just as good as Nuclide.

by gorkemyurt 10y ago
Only reason I am still using Atom is flow support that comes with Nuclide. I know VS code has a couple flow plugins as well.. Can anyone compare Atom's flow support with VScode?

Took a trip to the Provence region last summer and a bookstore in a small town called Banon caught my attention. Anyone visiting the region should stop by Banon and visit this bookstore. I don't think all of San Francisco has a booksto

how much are the property taxes in vancouver? I know in San Francisco its around 1.15%. A 1M condo pays, 15k in property taxes a year. So vancouver just increased this 15k by 2.25k and made it 17.25k? This seems negligible.. A 20% increase
