Glad you find it that way :-) I used to walk to work around 2.5km, <30 minutes. Through a green neighbourhood, I think I've never appreciated it enough.

Congratz, I loved this city. Missing it a lot. However still living in Europe.

But the point is, in lot places - San Jose - the roads are huge, I mean, the small road between houses is of a size of many european 4 lane roads ;-)

Preferably both things should go together. You plan the neighbourhood and the same time start planing the transport. There is a lot of books on what makes city good place to live this days on. I found it fascinating (as SWE).

Try visit Zurich. It's very much like village-city by an America' standards. Slow life, quiet, know your neighbours etc. with all good inventions from XXI century ;-)

Sure. And you could do that. It's just that a lot of services doesn't make sense in such setup and the infrastructure cost per person is few times higher than in a dense areas. Usually this means higher taxes.

But if you look, only some parts of SFO are dense, the rest is a joke. Paris: 55,673 ppl/sq mi New York City: 27,016.3 ppl/sq mi San Francisco: 17,179.2 ppl/sq mi Zurich: 12,000 ppl/sq mi Vienna: 11,205 ppl/sq mi Sa

As far as being forced to sit in corporate bus for over hour is relaxing ;-)

Oh, from the european perspective, the SV housing / transport seems little... weird. If you look at urban design & public transport it's amazing how well it works despite all obstacles. Public transport doesn't make sense

Oh, so it wasn't only me ~2months ago. I guess I ended up in an experiment ;-)

It always feel to me quite ironic that countries which used to advocate freedom and free speech these days have most intense surveillance operations.

I'm curious what others think about it. Should corporations be tax exempted just because they hold a lot of money? For me it sound like a vicious circle, we give you more power, because you have a lot of power.

One explanation may be: living in a golden cage is still living in a cage. The other may be a society, people want or rather need to be part of society to be 'normal'. One may argue that such dorm would be a society and that'

Isn't the issue that people who generally like Go read and write articles like this? ;-) The same is said by PHP devs:)

Isn't a today's economy based on compulsive buying? Such a plugin could cause a global crisis.

Do you program C? Would you use it for web programming? I would guess it's because the web evolve quickly and for most webdevs the 'moving fast' is more important than 'moving the right way'. C is less forgiving lan

There's no URL in an article who and were works on modifying the copyright law. BTW it amazes me that "copyright" is by default and that people has to get exception from DMCA instead of opposing. It's sound like the law

yeah, sure, so criminals world wide will be able to use it :-) Yes, one can read a lot of stories how people abuse this "right". (e.g. politiancs involved in bribery cases)

Aren't you talking about backend? The code on github is a client used by a polling place and it was publicly available (this is how they've it distributed)

But instead of building more decentralized, open and independent network they are strengthening a private company which already has strong position. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cost_of_Knowledge

I'm curious if such a system will be limited only to USA people or will they use data collected outside of US? Will citizens have access to their data? It's very similar to what Stasi did in GDR (or SB in PRL, or check any other E
