I won't admit to being an expert, but public policy is a balancing act that doesn't seem to be keeping pace with the residential and business demographic shifts. Giuliani did an impecable job at it in New York, but its hard to see how his p

Article has great points, but I must remind everyone of the unbelievably rapid pace the city is already being developed. Business in SOMA, let alone its status as an extension of the Valley itself, practically didn't exist 15 years ago; the

The state of academic publishing is in a truly dreadful state. The same monopolies that created the industry hundreds of years ago have never been pushed out and innovate in the slowest way possible, aqui-murdering even worse than EA when t

How is the speed? Last time I tried it, about 6 months ago, there was a very noticeable lag when switching between modes. I ran into the maintainer of IdeaVim at PyCon and he said it should be better but my trial period expired and I never

But does it do it reliably and well? I get nothing but buffering problems, hell I'm rarely even able to get up to speed even to view the stream. Even if I get on, the quality is too variable and skips are abound. It looks like BT's angle (d
