Don’t we already regulate what can be put in foods via the FDA?

The book Fortress America [1] posits that, in America at least, it has been a long shifting of the fear from red to black. Basically, after USSR was defeated, we shifted more vigorously into a "law and order" society. Politicians

==Why are we tolerating this loss of freedoms?== Fear. Why do people think it is unsafe to walk outside when statistics show us we have never been safer? Why are people afraid of public places when crime is far more likely to happen in the

Is Assange a reliable narrator in this instance?

So, your assumptions are “obvious” and someone else assumptions are just a result of them not thinking seriously? Maybe it is you who should re-think their position?

Do you have any answer to the question?

One only needs to look at Levi’s IPO in March to prove this theory wrong.

Will they own those cars? Today, they rely on driver's providing their own cars. What will be the capital costs of purchasing and maintaining the autonomous fleet?

They explicitly said they bump what they think the community might like. It doesn’t take a thorough reading of every submission to make that guess.

How's that "free market regulation" working out right now?

Does this include extracting the gas, refining it, transporting it and burning it?

Which was invented first roads or cars?

Yes, and all of those airlines have generated profits at some point, proving at least some viability. Uber and Lyft have yet to prove that. Also, Chapter 11 allows companies to reorganize their debt. Debt was the main problem that airlines

This is a vast oversimplification because these companies don’t exist in a vacuum. In my city, bus ridership is being crushed by Uber/Lyft (trains have been hurt less, but still impacted). In response the city has invested less in this

==If the state doesn't lack the teeth to fix this, why would they choose to compete for federal attention with an order of magnitude more people?== I'm not sure, Louisiana does have a Department of Environmental Quality [1]. In Il

May also be “type of traffic”. The Michigan Ave store sits on one the biggest tourist shopping areas in the country. You likely have more people just looking around or simply purchasing hardware. The LP location is a more residential area s

This seems like a bit of a cop-out. States and municipalities have regulatory power and are much closer to citizens. Many states are roughly the size of European countries.

I’m interested in when American politicians (and citizens) became so obsessed with NEW JOBS. Are you familiar with any studies on the topic? It seems to dominate all of our political talk and part of me feels it wasn’t always the case.

I would think Chinese is a pretty popular language for people to learn. Did you try the local university?

I’ve found no better technique than a language exchange partner. If you are learning Spanish, find a Spanish speaker trying to learn English. Meet up for an hour speaking English for 30 minutes and Spanish for 30 minutes. For me, this was t

==when the Republicans did it, it was apparently the end of the world and the internet should be burnt to the ground for facilitating this terrible thing to happen.== Here, you have proven my point by creating yet another straw man. Ignorin

Nobody claimed the Democratic party was a bastion of ideals, you added that straw man. Why is it that someone criticizing the Republican Party immediately makes you want to attack the Democratic party? It seems they are their own entity and

This depends on what you mean by “industry”. If Uber and Lyft are transportation companies, Snapchat is a media company and Tesla is a car company, than there are multiple industries. If you think of all those companies as “tech” than, no.

Or you could build higher. For reference, San Fran has 26 skyscrapers and 900k people. Chicago has 123 skyscrapers and 2.7 million people.

You are right that this is a very American perspective. Maybe we could learn something from societies that have been around much longer and tend to care more about their past. ==It wouldn't be the best option but the sites that have su

Not everything is about San Francisco, even if HN wants to think otherwise. Plenty of other cities have historic buildings with their own value, Chicago bungalows are an example. They represent a point in time and are still viable structure

If you destroy something today, you have also binded the hands of a future generation who will never get to enjoy it. Most of the popular vacation places in the world are historic/old sites. If we tear down everything old to put up che
