Angular allows you to create your own HTML elements that cannot be used without the Javascript accompanying the page. That seems similar to AMP to me: AMP is a (very) opinionated framework that provides a set of HTML elements. It can run in

Clearly not everyone wants the same thing out of AirBnb. I mostly prefer an AirBnb because it'll be a much nicer space, with a full kitchen, for a similar or lower price than a hotel. I find the traditional double bed hotel rooms depr

There's a lot of complaints here about "erasing reality" and other hyperbolic talk, but these models are trying to make predictions within a particular user's context. It's just inappropriate to apply some global bi

I fear being hit by cars as a pedestrian, not cyclists. The "thirty second dropoff" is going to block at least one travel lane regardless. Why not just stay in the vehicle lane? Do you think double parking for 30 seconds deserves

IMO self driving car ownership won't be cost competitive with ride-sharing/tncs. Why would a car that can drive itself be idle 95% of the time?

IMO a cleaning service makes living with roommates a much better experience, and given that the costs are split N-ways adds relatively little to the cost.

Packets don't damage network infrastructure, and lack of competition is not a different topic. ISPs' monopoly on access to broadband customers allows them to extract rents based on the marginal value of each transaction. There&#x2

Looking at just ticket revenue seems shortsighted. A similar analyses would never be able to justify road construction and maintenance, which directly generate revenue only through gas taxes and traffic fines. Urban centers are more product

Yes, it's more likely to be wrong. But this poll performed well in 2012[1] with the same methodology. As a polling nerd, wouldn't you be interested in why it is producing unusual results this year and what implications that might
