Ah. I'm currently using a MacBook that I love and not looking at the moment, so I'll keep your suggestions in mind in the next few years. We'll see how Apple responds.

That Dell has a nice looking screen, but then they go and ruin it with the carbon-fiber-looking body. I'd also have to be able to run some operating system that isn't Windows (I'll never use Windows again) without having to s

I think instead of lambasting somebody for removing ads from their site because they have an alternative way of funding it, and thus forgoing ad revenue, we should commend them.

Sure yeah. For me I have a 64gb iPhone 6+ and 3gb/month data but I use about 1 or 2. Wifi at work and home. I don't use social media or a lot of other stuff either and don't really watch movies or tv shows on my phone (or at

Well yeah I think bigger storage is better but I do think people can make do with the 32gb. I think that Apple and others need to up the ante with storage space.

I don't like the 32gb storage option, and everybody that's doing it is being a jerk about it. But with that being said, 32gb is fine for any use you will have with a tablet. If you have an iPad 32gb, your music, photos, contacts,

New York City is not a place to raise a family. Move somewhere else. Period. You can raise a family and go to some of the best schools in the country in places like Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio, etc....

Well, big cities (using this term very generally) don't have to be. All you have to do, as you pointed out, is to improve the infrastructure of growth. Oh and recreate the unique cultural and economic conditions. Oh and you also have t

Is NYC a luxury? Absolutely. The access to institutions, the culture, the people, the shops, the history... all of that is a luxury. That's why people want to live there versus somewhere like Cleveland I guess. Once those cities are un

The middle class can afford to live in cities, just not in a 3500 sqft house with a 2 car garage and a boat, and with the best school district and certainly not in NYC, SF, Boston, DC, etc. There are plenty of places to live in America. You

Cities in the US are not crowded by any metric. Homelessness is typically not because of lack of housing either (I know that sounds weird to say) but more so disease, mental health problems, lack of employment opportunities or in some cases

You don't have to do it in the United States, it's just that your coworkers will. In reality it has never made a difference for me. I can quickly scan my email inbox and if anything is urgent and important it's known that you

You did notice that they liberalized the Chinese economy, right? That's why it's Modern China and not still Maoist China. Maoist China is unequivocally not European style, and is one of the worst tragedies in all human history. Mo

People aren't a commodity. Bread can't collectively bargain, improve it's own flavor to increase it's value, or start it's own granary. Comparing commodities to software engineers or what have you is be it's ve

Worker exploitation indeed takes many forms. I think countries should be free to choose their own paths and for those countries to find their own unique implementations of economic policy and whatnot is fascinating, and we can always learn

Of course. I just would prefer a little more opposition to the liberal imperialism at times. It would be great to have a journal that's somehow even more sophisticated than the Economist, taking into different viewpoints and understand

Thanks for posting this. It's incredibly Euro-centric to sit here and complain about the perceived child/human rights abuses that happen in China when those very exact things are what industrialized Europe. I really wish we would

I mostly agree, but I felt like they were bursting at the seams to criticize Trump. Hardly a piece on the site that I RECALL had anything positive to say about the Brexit, Trump, or other movements. I like to read positive and negatives for

So quick to feel offended. I had nothing negative to say about her or her story, just that the story was hard for me to read. It's always nice when somebody writes in a language that isn't their native language, but that doesn

Ok. So I started reading this and just couldn't. Too many -comments and I just couldn't follow the article flow. Kudos to this person for putting in the effort to do what they want. I just can't get over the writing style.
