I wasn't familiar with Project Aria, as mentioned in the article. Searched for it, and found the facebook connect demo. I enjoyed that the demo'er was kind enough to refer to Aria as an Evil-lution @ 32 seconds in. https:/&

I’m assuming you’re talking about private app based transit here, not public busses and trains, based on the relationship to software. If that’s true you may be shifting the ownership of the physical goods used to transport you, but as long

West coast experience does not match the rest of the country. Outside the largest cities and wealthy suburbs, you’d be hard pressed. Especially on an average salary.

There's no moral issue here. Sales people are going in and copying and pasting data field by field, and we made that process more efficient. All that software did is replace multiple clicks with one. Scrape the DOM and dump it into the

There’s actually quite a bit of data that’s viewable to anyone, logged in or not, that’s public. All we did was speed up what was happening anyway. Sales people all across the world copy and paste data from LinkedIn to sales force every day

I used to work on one of those extensions. The lengths linkedin goes to "protect" public data is kind of absurd. If they poured those resources into building tools for salespeople the site would be far more valuable. Or, they coul

No, but that’s often regulated against, and much easier politically to deal with. The problem is that a flag is, well, a flag. It’s treated as if they’d planted a tree and I’m upset but the wind rustling the leaves. I’ve looked for anything

It’s a regional thing I suspect. It’s a big problem in utah, home of the Diesel Brothers and some of the worst air pollution in the country. It’s just recently illegal here. One guy doing it might not be that meaningful but, that’s true of

My neighbors put up a 20 foot plus wide American flag. It’s absurdly loud. When it storms and gets wet, it’s all I can hear inside my house. While I don’t think it’s the next public health crisis, it’s certainly a crisis for me. And no, the

My mail carrier can't read my mail because I'm in the US and there are laws against it. There are certainly mail carriers in the world that can and do read mail. The answer here is privacy laws and auditability.

Forget the headlines, it's a pickup truck that doesn't list bed length in the marketing materials. The pickup truck is the new SUV, but come on. At least let me pretend to consider if I can fit a sheet of drywall in there. Also, I

I would hesitate to call the current mayor popular. She's not seeking a second term for a reason. I'd also question how strong the socialist tensions are. There's definitely tensions between moderate old guard pro-regulation
