Not to mention it removes the whole, "Ok, you get the 5 this time around, the rest of you have to wait your turn" bullcrap.

Getting to somewhere in the Midwest from SV is far from 300 miles.

Aberdeen, South Dakota. The Dacotah Prairie Museum. http://brown.sd.us/dacotah-prairie-museum/home Unfortunately they don't have much in the way of documentation about it. I might have to bug them about it when I

You'll have to point out where they exchanged monopolies, rather than simply set up a competitor to keep the existing monopoly in check.

Few want to compete against such an entity as Comcast. Hell, most of the other large ISPs don't want to.

At the same time, without those requirements, only the most profitable (read: rich) neighborhoods would be cherry picked, leaving the rest of us without service. That would make the digital divide even bigger, widening the gap between rich

I think those fears are extremely far-fetched because: 1). Don't most places that do this set up a company? As in, it's a company that happens to have one of it's owners as the city. 2). Does anyone honestly think that if suc

So only after they had exhausted all other options.

At this point, any company that thinks stack ranking is a decent idea just needs to die.

So, growing up in the midwest, there is a museum dedicated to the area. It's on Main Street in the biggest town in the area. It's basement, which is now just used for storage, was part of an entire underground Main Street. You can

I don't know about you, but I don't only ever buy one brand/style of pants. Hell, even if I wanted to, often by the time I need more pants, things have changed. Either the brand/style combo is no longer available, or I&#

So you'll not be sad if we just take your job, and remove your ability to provide for yourself.

They raised the standards, but you're delusional if you think they did it philanthropically. They did it because they thought they could get more info to sell ads.

A mall would be 10x preferable to that stuff when it's -10 degrees out.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
That is a fairly inaccurate, to the point of being dishonest, portrayal of the context. That last part, in the italics, that you claim makes no difference, is a huge difference in context here.

Another thing you're either missing or deliberately omitting is that the LA Times didn't disqualify Disney from awards. The rest of the industry, upon hearing that Disney did this because of reporting on their actions with the cit

by s73ver_ 9y ago
I think a big part of it is that Disney did so because the LA Times reported on their actions in Anaheim. I haven't heard anything such that Apple prevented industry critics from reviewing their product early because those outlets cove

by s73ver_ 9y ago
If you say journalists were justified in blocking Disney from awards consideration over Disney blocking a newspaper who reported on their actions during the Anaheim City Council elections, then you kinda disproved your theory that there isn

by s73ver_ 9y ago
So, we should all just ignore that Disney is attempting to use its might in order to completely bypass freedom of the press, and end oversight of what it's doing in the city council elections in Anaheim?

It's going to take at least a week, and a lot of gas. We're talking about people who already aren't bringing in much, and so likely don't have anything saved up.
531.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
Yes, it is. But ignoring regulation, much of which is there for a very good reason, is not the answer. The last thing anyone wants is for many homeless people to move into these buildings, and have them die because they weren't built t

"And for those that are safety related, maybe there's a way to alter them or at least get rid of them just temporarily until the homeless emergency has been mitigated. Anything is better than leaving people out on the street"

by s73ver_ 9y ago
That's a pretty gross oversimplification of things. One of the sibling comments has a pretty good comparison of what Gmail is doing that most 80s email clients weren't.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
This doesn't really address my point. You still haven't explained anything regarding choice, or any of your other points.

I can't imagine someone who has no experience in surviving out in the woods is going to last long.
536.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
Which is very much not cheap. Not to mention, while you're driving from point A to point B, you're not bringing in income. So where are you gonna get the money for gas and food?
537.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
Again, with what money? And simply driving away to somewhere else doesn't mean there's going to be a job there that will let you afford an apartment.

"We can't simply assume that removing those regulations will result in a disaster. " Yes, we absolutely can. If business can get around it, they will. And then when an earthquake hits, all that housing is destroyed.

"but I think that if everyone spent time optimizing the size of things to be 100x faster we could get back to snappy UIs." Quite possibly. Who's going to pay for it, though? And who's going to make sure the frameworks ar

I simply cannot agree with the take that making things easier to use "neuters" them. Enabling people to actually use these things makes them more powerful, not less. I think far too often, people get caught up with the false machi
