lol I do and will continue to cal people entitled when they act as if they are the only ones entitled to anything. Maybe since none of you are property owners you don't understand. Idk. Neighborhoods form and get to do things like crea

Sure but you're framing it as if you somehow don't have a choice and how dare other people who have live there now want to protect their communities and lifestyles. I've lived all over the world. Moving sucks. But life is wha

Right so if it's bad don't move there. I don't see what the issue is.

K so I'll buy the houses surrounding yours and build some huge barbwire walls, then on the outside of the walls I'll just paint them with horrific images, just gross stuff that anybody would find disgusting to look at. You spent 1

It's just a matter of degree. You're drawing an arbitrary line here. Nobody is prohibiting anybody from construction, they're prohibiting certain types of construction. You can build a house, it just has to follow the rules a

Again, why shouldn't the be allowed to do that? I want to live on Harvard/MITs campus and live next to the smartest people in the world (at least some of them) and have a nice little 3 br house on a half acre. These high home pric

But then you're asserting that those who live in Palo Alto don't have the right to govern their community. They aren't keeping out newcomers at all, in fact, there are houses for sale in Palo Alto. For some reason people thin

> because somebody else built a city around them Doesn't sound like that's the property owner's problem. They didn't ask for the city to be built around them.

No different than any other prevention, or rule. Why shouldn't they be able to? If you moving to my community and doing whatever causes damage to the value of my property that's no different than doing damage to anything else. It&

But how many people are going to move there to live in a bus? I certainly wouldn't. If property values get too high I'll just not move there. I don't understand this mentality where everybody thinks they should be able to aff

I think what they are talking about is the resident who will move in that need schools (and will pay property tax), not the developers. He developers can't build the residencies without having enough schooling for families moving in.

Is it just me, or is it that ever since Saudi Arabia joined the UN Women's Rights Council that they have changed quite a few policies? I was very critical of this initially, but if it results in pro-women changes, then that's good

Obligatory Dan Carlin mention here: http://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-48-prophet... It's very entertaining and interesting (I'm not making a case for historical accuracy here).

I disagree with your premise. Somebody did something once doesn't make it ok to do now. Running the environment once, even if we did know (and we didn't) doesn't make it ok to do now, just as having children work in coal mine

It's also worth mentioning with respect to the environment that they didn't know any better. Now we do. And with respect to treating workers terribly, there was no concept of treating workers well, for the most part. You can'

But you can't reach perfect efficiency. Scaling will of course reduce costs in general, but it's not a given. If I had an app that had 5 users, my costs would increase if my user number grew to 5,000,000,000. Without knowing more

No I'm not. Most of those systems are proprietary for obvious reasons, and the training to work those systems is going to be a lot of on-the-job training. A CS degree would help, but Lockheed Martin isn't hiring people to rewrite

No real reason to think that the costs scale linearly. Maybe you need 300 employees to maintain the site at that scale?

I stopped using Facebook about 4 years ago. Haven't looked back since. I haven't lost contact with anybody that I cared to not lose contact with. A random "hey what's up" text is usually enough.

They do fine for a lot of programming jobs. If you're going to work at a DoD contractor or something, work on the team maintaining a hospital website, or work in enterprise architecture you don't need a 4-year college degree in CS

Why not donate to Africans instead of those local to you?

It depends. I was fortunate to have no obligations, so I left and went to a 4 year school. Many veterans leave and have obligations that may prevent them from being able to handle the reduced amount of income. I don't have any "sy

Well even if you wanted to say that, part of the compensation package of joining the military is having school paid for afterward. So think of it as more of a contract, because it is.

by muninn_ 9y ago
Right, but as the article mentioned the veteran needed an accelerated timeline because of family obligations and couldn't afford the time not working to attend a traditional 4 year university.

So if we are saying this isn't that great of news, what should I make of some European countries?

I guess I prefer that they stay there... but can't help but to say that it seems fascinating that there are these dormant antique lifeforms just waiting to be discovered. Hope they don't kill us.

No. More appropriate words would be like "difference of opinion" or "I own my labor" or "I don't agree with this action because I think it's solved better in another way". Painting people who disagree
