Nobody is entitled to live in posh neighborhoods. That is a false argument.

The bottled water market has exactly 0 things in common with the housing market. Every city is growing and adding more people than new housing construction. Thus rents go up. Hm, wonder what the solution would be? If a landlord has a unit o

Cheap, market-rate housing does exist in every city. It may not be where you want to live, but it exists. The issue is transportation, not subsidized housing that locks low-income people in an apartment they can't really afford. Every

Well, great. Exactly 0 people are "forced" to pay into a union they don't want to be a part of! If you don't want a union job the solution is simple: don't take that job. But I guess the numerous benefits you enjoy

Why is it the app's fault you live in the middle of nowhere?

Nobody says the rent will go down. That's not the argument. Increasing supply simply ensures tomorrow's rent is lower than it would be otherwise.

It's always nice to see how each Android release compares to iOS. Usually about 10% of the features while releasing to about .05% of the active phones. The vast majority of people won't see these features for another 3 years.

I guess I always wonder how that is better than email. Once a channel has more than one conversation going on is becomes unusable.

Because every country needs to be able to produce food. Importing all your food is a huge security risk.

t_d posts conspiracy theories and violence on a daily basis. Also, conservatives != donald. Real conservatives do not support donald trump, as he is not a conservative. Perhaps you are mistaken.

Done correctly != react native. I've had to shut down and migrate 3 RN projects because of how much of a mess it is. It's not even 1.0 and is a horrible choice for important apps.

It's quite amazing that a company this large with so much money can't figure this stuff out. Hilarious. Like every thing Android has done in the past 5 years they are simply doing what Apple does, but in a worse fashion. It's

I think most people would gladly pay a bit more to not have to deal with the annoyance of owning a vehicle. Parking in most cities is pain. Driving to restaurants or bars is a no-go with your own vehicle. The flexibility you lose with havin

Same amount of time? I have 20 restaurants within a 30 second walk. There also is never, ever the diversity of food or entertainment. Also, many small towns have higher crime rates per capita than cities.

About half the country supports reasonable restrictions. Not the nonsense the southern states are pushing. Big difference.

I just really can't see RN gaining much traction outside of experimental/small apps. You very much still need experienced mobile devs to debug the multitude of Java/kotlin/XCode/Android issues that come up because o

Cool idea, but but does every website nowadays insist on lazy loading every single part of the site? It just makes everything feel so slow .

Eh, no. Windows phone was not good. Horrible UX for the average person. Companies don't make phones for computer science graduates. The modern touch-based UI was entirely an Apple creation.
