Thanks. That's a shame. Left the UK 6 years ago.

The Independent is presenting this in a surprisingly sensational and tabloid style. Has the paper changed in recent years? I remember it being a reasonably well respected news source.

It seems to have wasted a lot of the person's time. > I cannot count how many reboots, driver re-installations, kernel modifications there were.

Please offer some facts or evidence to clarify it then? All you are offering is an opinion.

It's not very funny. Just a bit of a shitty thing to do to someone.

Took the Amtrak across it stoping in a lot of places over 2 months. Most shocking was Memphis. It seemed incredibly poor. A lot of closed businesses and many people on the streets. I live in the Bay Area now and SF Civic Center is still inc

The amount of poverty I saw in the States after coming from the UK was shocking to me. So much money in the country but for people at the bottom it was visibly worse with much more homelessness and visible health problems.

It's an issue of transparency. I don't mind if I know what it will be used for but "sell me some ads" isn't the only thing it's being used for as we have discovered recently. If Facebook et Al. were more transp

Why do cinemas not like it? They get paid for each ticket and people go more frequently.

The articles you cite seem to support the idea that miners are moving to areas where clean energy is under utilized. I agree with your point about the local issues caused by this. It doesn't refute the idea that miners are using energy

Yeah I saw it posted as a HN comment on a previous article but I would like to know to what extent it is true.

Isn't there an argument that a lot of the mining is done in places where energy is cheap because it is in abundance and would be unused otherwise? Near hydroelectric sources?

At this point can SoftBank make winners in silicon valley by pouring money on companies and having the other companies they have invested in support each other by using each others products? Is this good/bad for the silicon valley ecos

This. People supporting capitalism alway seem to argue that any abuses of power and corruption are exceptions. The system is built on competition so without strong regulation it seems inevitable that people will take shortcuts to win.

Put effort into a group activity or club that isn't work and you'll make friends. Regularly meeting the same people eventually turns into friendship.

Just saying "sorry can't talk now" to people doesn't really break me away from being able to solve a problem or loose my train of thought. Other people I work with don't understand this and move on. Being interrupte

"the former are entirely superior to the latter" and that trains have more downside than teleportation is exactly why Stockton wouldn't become as expensive as SF and the analogy is bad in the first place.

by maym86 8y ago
But why would op choose to talk about teleporters when train suffices and is the actual thing we are talking about. No simplification is required and a conversation about public transportation is better if it's actually about public tr

My point is that a train is not a teleporter. A train spreads population density over a larger area, with multiple stops and takes more time to move people than an imaginary sci-fi device. The comparison is not fair and pointless. Why not j

Then no one there will sell to build a high rise. What is the legislation for?

by maym86 8y ago
There are plenty of places in SF without beautiful views where the density is low. People may choose to sell their four bed home to be developed into a high rise if the price is good but they are being stopped by zoning laws. Relax the zoni

Investing in better public transportation is important too so that people can live further away from the city and commute in a reasonable time. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/03/14/bay-area-cities-...
