They are at best a very minor cost addition when it comes to large projects. I see more problems from insufficient parking which is why many of these exist in the first place. There is very little independent research into the topic, it&#x2

parking minimums are a red herring. zoning, absolutely. however, in a lot of places we have homeowners' associations as well. random density doesn't help much, need to build density near existing and planned infrastructure.

People were horrified because of what they did with the data. This is why it is different when there is a person listening, as their interests get involved. If it is just something telling me the shoes I looked at last week are on discount,

Absolutely, pretending like this is some Google/Meta only thing. Newspapers filled their for kids sections with advertising targeted at children. Comic books featured scammy ads targeted at kids.

Isn't putting ads on children's programming, as has been done since the dawn of television, "targeting children"? This seems like bullshit targeting of the competition to me.

Installing software is painful- some of this is perhaps related to how the IT group has restricted so much for us, can't even change my screen saver, and weirdness like bizarre pop ups asking for your password from time to time. It jus

Apple on the desktop/laptop, Google in the cloud for email, collaboration, file sharing, office suite. I ran a substantial sized company this way for a decade. Then we did a merger and had to migrate to Microsoft- massive step backward

In addition to the point of this not being to make money, more than half of this is loans, so is intended to be paid back. 1.5B is grants, so closer to $1M per manufacturing job in your framing. The other economic benefit is moving one part

So, they failed to prove she was the one that took the pictures. It's a presumption to directly state she was fired for speaking out.

Well, I do like to park when I go shopping, but it's still going to increase the ratio of spots to cars, even if 10 cars park in that spot over the course of the day. I just don't see a ratio of 4 spots per car being particularly

by mattmcknight 3y ago
I find this sort of logic absurd. “There are at least four parking spaces for every car, meaning that the parking stock is no more than 25 percent full at any given time. And some of those cars are moving at any given time" So, if I ha

It's also just a massive time/money sink to have your own legal team review all of that stuff. You don't want to send anything to another party before you have reviewed it. In addition, there are often conflicting rules there

Exactly- using Twitter's problems on Rails as evidence it doesn't scale is only slightly more wrong than blaming on them on MySQL. Twitter started moving to Cassandra in 2010 to deal with scaling issues they were having with MySQL

The biggest problem Twitter had was using MySQL for data storage.They moved to Scala, and while it was not quite a disaster, it did slow progress and also had to be largely simplified. Meanwhile places like GitHub and Shopify proved you cou
