Two of your arguments (1 and 4) are only narrowly applicable (i.e. you should rephrase to "I would advise against it if your sole goal is a large mainstream growth"), but even in that context, priorities of mainstream consumers

Wild wild speculation: I'd imagine "rigidity" is a trade-off between weight and ability to withstand the given pressure differential for any two gases (outside & inside). A vacuum would undoubtedly give extra buoyancy but

I don't see your point. You seem to be making excuses for the Strip being the way it is (i.e. "it's bad for these reasons") whereas the gp was arguing it's not that bad actually. I never said there weren't reas

I'm European so I must admit my experience of US cities is relatively limited. I know in general US cities have a terrible reputation for pedestrian-centric planning but even by US standards I found the Strip bad. The Strip is even bad

I'm calling it unfriendly because it's a highway cutting through an area fully suited to being entirely pedestrianised. You can't even drive to the front of casinos (they have car park entrances at the back), yet the vast maj

I switched to Debian on servers & was impressed enough (previous experience with Ubuntu & RHEL) that I even went ahead & installed it on desktop. That was a mistake for a few reasons so I quickly switched away* on desktop but it

Given how pedestrian unfriendly the Strip is, it surprises me that you even managed this at all. On the other hand, I was also surprised how much better public transit seemed in vegas than in most us cities.

The issue with taking examples from real-world code & converting them is that there's no guarantee the real-world code is good. It usually isn't, so you're comparing bad with bad. A more aggressive reformulation would be
