Quarterly GDP growth was 4.1%, which is not unprecedented at all, if uncommon. We had a quarter of 5.1% growth in 2014. Annual GDP growth of 4.1% would be a really big deal.

To give some local context, this building is iconic in Detroit. The previous owners let it rot for decades, and Ford's purchase has been a huge PR win in Michigan. Part of the reason it has such a high profile around here is just how f

Ah, I see now - sorry for the misunderstanding. I was so surprised by the post that I didn't stop to consider alternative meanings.

I'm sincerely interested in the motivation that leads to hoping your government controls what you may read. Is it protectionism? Shielding people from radicalization?

You should see Nevada - the federal government owns 85% of the land there.

No, not my web service. Some may be, but my web service is still punished. Most of the rules apply even if you are sharing no data with third parties. If this was just about third-party trackers, the EU could have written a law similar to

I was debating whether to remove that sentence, and ended up adding the (non-structural) part because I though someone might take the analogy that way. Note that fire codes in particular don't exist in many places, including much of th

Only public companies are required to respect GAAP, and they choose to do so because they want access to a regulated market. Is a building on Pluto subject to the same building codes? If my server spontaneously combusts, should I warn those

I think that you're misunderstanding the spirit of the "full force" comment. The fact that I'm subject to the "full force of the legal system" to with regards to preventing murder, doesn't justify every ne

Right, that's fine in the real world, where the existence of something affects you. Real objects take up physical space, and can be noisy, polluting, or inaccessible. Nobody is forcing you to look at, interact with, or even acknowledge

It's astounding to me that people believe they're entitled to force free services to provide them extra features by the force of law. You're not allowed to launch a service that provides X, and if you want to, you must also

Wow. I've been checking in on the Crystal ecosystem every few weeks, but I somehow missed Amber. It feels like someone has finally cracked the code that made Rails great.

Not pedophilia, I hope? Unclear if you mean this century (2000 onwards) or the last hundred years (1918 onwards).

Spotify is a European company, but in the US there are limits to the numbers of shareholders allowed in private companies. Something similar may apply here.

I have no experience in the Aerospace industry; won't announcing that the A380 is so precarious make airports reluctant to spend on supporting them anyway? Maybe the huge numbers at play here change the economics, but in other industri

It sounds extreme, but it's definitely necessary in order for a service to be treated like a tool. When was the last time your screwdriver decided to fail for undefined reasons? For that matter, how about your text editor? For somethin

It's not just you. I've been running a company on Rails for four years - never heard of that book.

Interesting enough to be frustratingly incomplete. I wish they had the time to go into more depth rather than debating the meaning of terms.

Your point seems to have changed. The point of those replying to you is that snap judgements happen, and rarely are they correct. Your point was that we should be putting them into a global database for others to make second-hand judgements

The arrogance is unreal. Your difficulty communicating with your customers is not my problem. Keep it out of my website . This is a perfect example of the culture problem at Comcast. You seem to have worked yourselves into believing that y
