I don't think quoting one thing from the article out of context is "disagree and rather than derail the discussion" as you say in your other comment.

I did. "replacing each bus with twenty cars" You assume that either is this solution or no solution, which isn't necessarily true. In fact I would argue that this proprietary solution makes other solutions less viable. Both f

Rent control is one of the tools, I've never said anything about it in relation to SF. I'd like to see anyone argue that rent control doesn't work as a price ceiling for the rent controlled units.

I don't have time to do this largr discussion justice, but if you can't tell I think value associated with stable, and preferably cheap, housing is important enough to protect. Regardless if it's preventing a housing market c

I'm not sure that's the core of the issue so much as disappointment over the tech companies preserving the status quo making it easy for those in power to avoid the issues.

I don't see how the "money should trump everything" argument is less entitled. Of course I'll think this will change if the fortunate side becomes reserved for the very fortunate, like has happened in some other cities.

"Hacking" largely used to be about systems, including the arbitrariness of them. I guess it's become more focused on "being very good at a single thing". I think you can still see the dependency between the two by t

You act like there's some significant difference between moving money around for a large corporation and moving data around for another large corporation. How can you understand what's valuable in tech if you can't even under

As far as I know they don't actually produce shows, which might even have something to do why they are critically acclaimed. "The money went not only to the talent involved but to the look and feel of the show which is much more c

This might actually hinder 'mass consumption' in Europe if Netflix decides it doesn't want to license broadcasting rights to public broadcasting, which often have their own online services. I think we should be at least somew

I'm not sure down-voting is good way to handle criticism about not being able to express oneself.

"[...] well-thought-out points of disagreement with Sam's arguments." I see mostly opinions, not arguments. An argument is generally what follows if you ask someone "why?".

I'm kind of tired of people in tech who are "misunderstood". Maybe they just aren't very good at expressing themselves or doesn't have the experience they think they have. Sometimes people can of course be be argume

I'm not claiming it wasn't intentional. I'm saying that generation X either played along or didn't do anything about it.

The major hurdle for fighting for men's rights are people like yourself that keep lowering the debate by not being able to conduct themselves in a decent way. Frankly, the attitudes behind why women doesn't have a place in technol
