You probably don't watch enough cable "news" where fear and outrage keep you glued to the screen.

It's almost as if doing something that is generally proven to be unhealthy is unhealthy?

$1800/month to host a foreign kid while they're in school? That sounds unlikely and dubious, maybe 1/3 of that amount is more realistic. But if it were true, poorer families who are struggling financially should be made aware

Let's hear both sides before we rush to any judgement about these so called facts about these so called "chemicals". Maybe some people like fluorinated chemicals? Who needs regulations? Everyone can run their own independent

Looks like a good machine. Really makes you wonder why Apple seems to be neglecting the Mac Mini, or the Mac line in general.

Nearly every vaguely political anything online is quickly overrun by trolls, astroturfers, bots, and spammers. It'd be a challenge, but perhaps you can build one. Good luck!

All browsers should have an option to do this. As long as you can turn it on and off, no big deal.

Find a way to monetize not polluting and get everyone to sign onto it, and that may have a chance. Otherwise, it's not happening.

You seem really bothered by this. What did you see in your filter after a year? Some tiny amount of algae? Some mineral deposits? Do you prefer your water taste like a chlorinated pool? Wait until you find out what's in your food!

Hmm, good point. The ad injection thing is quite relevant to developing markets, where many ISPs routinely inject ads onto sites. But it's certainly more overhead particularly for mom and pop businesses. I suppose it will drum up a lot

While this is obviously useful for anything with a login, there are many content and consumption sites that simply don't need HTTPS.

Yea, west coast real estate has become totally surreal.

by notadoc 10y ago
This applies to any west coast market. You'll encounter it yourself if you ever shop for a home out here.

Sure, take a look at student loan debt for one glaring example. Or the debt-to-income ratios required to get a home today versus 30-40 years ago. Credit card debt growth, medical debt growth, saving rates declines, etc.

Most consumers are tapped out, bad news for a consumer driven economy. There can only be so much more debt accrued.

by notadoc 10y ago
That's simply not true, at least on the west coast in any reasonably active real estate market. It was never $1,455/sq ft like it is today in Palo Alto, nor $500/sq ft or even $200 per sq ft. This is a recent phenomena. Furth

Greatly agreed. Being able to dock a phone and turn it into a fully functioning desktop is a phenomenal idea and feels like the natural progression. I don't think we'll ever see that with the Mac though unfortunately, and I suspec

Phage therapy is very promising but it's labor intensive and specific to each particular infection. That also poses a monetization problem for pharmaceutical companies who prefer to create a pill that can be universally applied to many
