Yeah, I'm not sure the right terminology for the type of urban landscape it is. There's uninterrupted development for a 30 mile stretch between McAllen and Harlingen, with densities ranging from suburban to exurban. So not quite t

This is true in certain American suburbs, but definitely not all. Older and less affluent suburbs, in particular, often have abysmal walking infrastructure. I'm not sure this fits the prototypical suburb -- but I have spent a lot of ti

It's exaggeration in the same way liberals called Trump-era policies "Hitler-esque", which is to say a totally useless epithet that betrays an ignorance of the referenced history.

So what's the implication, that DDG is deceiving its users through tracking scripts? Wouldn't this also require buy-in from individual websites to include the DDG script? Any amount of details would be useful to evaluate your clai

Come on, your link provides no evidence that this Board would (or even could) block any internet traffic. Don't spread FUD.

Direct your anger at your employer for not offering a product the market desires -- rather than at consumers who resort to piracy because the legal route is expensive, inconvenient, or nonexistent.

It's nothing like that. People live in one place and only care about the weather at that place. Whereas consumers need products from all sectors of the economy, so an aggregate inflation indicator makes sense. Sure, it's not perfe

The thing I don't understand in conversations around affordable housing is why does it have to be new construction? Of course new construction is going to be expensive and full of bureaucracy. Many US cities have large stocks of older

Did you read the article? The link to mice was for the Omicron variant, not the original strain that emerged in Wuhan. Stop spreading FUD.

Yep, Lompoc is uncontrolled: https://www.airnav.com/airport/KLPC And notifying local traffic (on CTAF) at uncontrolled airports is recommended, but not required. This is quite common in the US, especially in small town

Isn't there a middle ground here? If you have CI/CD, you can eliminate release branches by just making PRs directly into main. The idea of post-merge code review is horrifying to me. I guess this is the "move fast and break t

In what way do you see this as foreshadowing? (It's a lot of information, and I don't see many strong parallels -- but maybe I'm missing something)

You're bending over backwards to misunderstand. The original author said: "I don't want the NSA to perform domestic civilian law enforcement functions" In other words, the FBI (and police, etc) perform domestic law enfor

Surely you could have mode your point ("Changes made by pure fiat don't last") without the diatribe overgeneralizing and insulting a large percentage of the American population?

I admit I didn't need to call the other poster foolish. I don't think refuting their point with examples is exactly a "flamewar", though.

The second precinct was not burning, and was never in any danger of burning. It is located on the opposite side of the city from where protests were occurring, in neighborhoods that had seen minimal effects from demonstrations. If rioters h

This will be an issue as long as the US has first-past-the-post elections. In the current system, many people simply vote for the least bad option, because voting for a party that actually represented their beliefs would make their vote irr

It's delusional to believe you can form political beliefs without emotion coloring the decision in any way. In fact, a rational, logical being would be well aware of how emotions guide our behavior at a subconscious level, and that we

And I suppose your political views are based purely on reason and logic? Of course emotions are involved. That isn't inherently bad.
