What meaningful local connections have you formed taking to strangers in a coffee shop? I listen to the conversations people have at coffee shops with random people and it's been pointless smalltalk every time so far.

Not really, I've seen many grocery stores have sections dedicated specifically to local stuff because of the whole 'local' movement.

If my favorite services are not sustainable in a subscription model then I would rather they die off until someone more innovative finds a way to make it work without advertising.

The fact that real Googlers post here eliminates the need for PR to post. Google employees are participants willing supporting Google in exchange for money so they are incentivized to post only good things about Google or risk violating pol

>That's assuming that it's a simple process to publish a huge list. Oh please. Claiming Google can't publish a giant list is really disingenuous. The question is really if they want to or not.

Using technology != technologist in this context. Calling a doctor a technologist essentially makes everyone a technologist and the term becomes meaningless.

If the prices were higher, it would be trivial for local businesses to displace them in stores.

Restricting what brand names people can use is anything but "pro-free-market".

I'm referring to brands because you said this: >You think using brands to signal status isn't normal? We're not talking about social signaling in general. You are the one who mentioned brands and tried to imply everyone wa

Meh, that's not my experience with middle class folks. The only complaints I would hear about Walmart stuff is bad fits, etc. I think you're referring to upper middle class people, which is a much smaller portion of the population

Make sure you're using signed integers larger than 32 bits if you ever need dates before ~1970 or after ~2030.

Why do you want to detect the difference between a user signing up with one email account twice or two different accounts? It's folly to try to detect this in this manner and you will only piss off regular users.

No you don't. Just because some people waste money on something doesn't mean everyone or even a majority does. If meth dealers were legal, they would be positioned right next to Gucci stores. The markup is similar and the utility

Sorry, that doesn't fit the narrative because there isn't one brand associated with hoodies. You can pickup a hoodie for close to cost in almost any city. If there were 10,000 different companies that made products indistinguishab

There is no financial advisor suggesting the purchase of boats or cars.

by hueving 9y ago
Of course they do. They buy cars, boats, restaurants, etc that all plummet in value.

by hueving 9y ago
None of those are apt comparisons because people don't pay for the brand signaling. Laptop stickers and conference shirts are free or dirt cheap. The logos you see in a coffee shop on electronics are side effects of purchasing the prod

Do you realize that many of those millionaires have gotten to that position by saving and studiously contributing to a retirement account/mortgage payment while on a regular income? A significant portion of those would never even think

Nobody cares if you brag about nice insulation. It doesn't have the same social value as solar panels.

>Why? I want you to genuinely think about this question. You're not offering anything profound here. You are just admitting that a high density area can't just be built in the middle of a small city without affecting the prices

by hueving 9y ago
That absolutely does not work. The prices of all of the homes anywhere near the high density area would sky rocket. Do you realize how much a single story house with a yard within a block of Chelsea Market in NYC would be worth? High rise c

I think you're overestimating how much money will pour into the pockets of renting middle class people. You only need to look to Mountain View and Sunnyvale to see how all people making less than 6 figures have either been pushed into

This doesn't work beyond a small amount. There is only so much land so you have to build up and living in an apartment is a pretty huge sacrifice if you were previously in a single family home with a yard. There is a difference between

Yep, then you're just displacing the existing residents via higher rent prices in downtown Boulder where everyone actually wants to be.

by hueving 9y ago
It's not that simple. You can't add more land for 1000 more houses in the desirable areas of town. So people renting in the desirable houses are going to get forced out into the new apartments because the rich can outbid them for
