Why shouldn't land owners be able to build whatever they want on their own property? It's not your backyard, it's your neighbors property

I'll be happy if John Legere stays on as CEO. I was working at a T-Mobile technical support call center when he came on, and it was really amazing how quickly and effectively he turned the company around after becoming an independent c

I've taken up fasting recently as well. I can't speak to effectiveness wrt depression, but as someone who's been overweight for years, it's really helped with my relationship to food and how I eat. The realization that j

I think the more obvious answer is that if the market is well-regulated and above-board, there is no need for the shady unregulated black market where kidnapping and human trafficking are things that happen.

I've been self-learning d3 recently and I found Square's guide to be very helpful. It takes you through enough of the concepts that you're able to understand code snippets and understand what's going on https:/&#x2

It actually did. The market was on it's way to crashing harder than the great depression, but it didn't, probably thanks in some part to government being able to intervene and control monetary policy

My experience, having dealt with successful people who were also born rich, is that they often legitimately feel that they are self-made. Because the truth is that no matter how privileged you are, you do still have to put the work in if yo

Disgustingly so. These lower middle-class dolts who scrimp and save to go on vacation are RUINING cities for REAL travelers like the author. These poor idiots don't even deserve to travel! Why can't they just learn their place and

Nothing so far as legalizing heroin is being considered in the US, but Philadelphia is considering becoming the first US city to offer supervised injection sites [1] as a method of harm reduction, but there's a lot of understandable re

As others have said, employers have a much lower minimum wage for tipped workers in most states. However, perhaps unintuitively, workers still usually prefer tipped over non-tipped jobs because you can usually bring home more money through

That's an interesting thought. The only reason I can think of that such a thing might not exist is that each state and city might have a unique set of regulations and licensing, which would make it difficult to operate nationally.

From what I've read, economists argue that the Mortgage Interest Deduction is skewed towards benefiting the rich. Rich people buy more expensive houses, which leads to more interest, and a larger deduction. In that respect, the republi

In addition to what others have said, it's common that the suburbs of sprawling American cities are unwalkable, and completely impossible to live in without access to a car. I grew up in a Suburb in Colorado where the only buildings fo

That's one side of the coin, but on the other hand I can also envision self-driving cars enabling more urban density. Presumably self-driving cars don't really need to be parked on-site at the destination and could instead drop of

Maybe I'm snowblind to it because I've been using Windows for so long now, but what are some examples of "awful" 4k support on Windows? I have a 15 inch 4k laptop and have been fairly pleased with the high DPI support Ed

Very cool. I wonder how much crossover or competition there's going to be between Dex and Chromebooks, considering that lots of Chrome OS laptops are running android apps now. I guess it's a race to see whether Samsung phones can

Very interesting idea. I also used the metaphor of Lego bricks as words in a topic model when doing a presentation on LDA in my undergrad class. It's cool to see that idea developed in a concrete way

Definitely. This is a very pretty redesign, but I think the real secret sauce of Reddit is post titles, and comments, and you definitely lose something not being able to see either of those.

It's a small thing, but I think JShell might be the feature of Java 9 I'm looking forward to most. When I was developing Python, being able fire up a REPL to poke at your code while you're writing it is a nice quality of life
