Assuming automatically that the state stands outside the nature of man as a perfect institution with the ABILITY to 'correct' market outcomes. There's whole fields of literature examining this and most regulation falls far s

Your mistake is to imagine that you have any power at all to affect such outcomes and processes. They will be guided by media/PR/social forces, not your arguments. I guess it's the universal democratic conceit of the 'we

If content regulations happen, they'll come in with the new flavor of the month, i.e. 'social justice.' There will be vague statutes against 'harassment' I'm guessing, and anyone decrying their vagueness or bro

+1. Haha, what an apt comparison. Yes, Arlington is a nice model to adopt, but needs to be even denser.

Exactly. It's a travesty that Silicon Valley looks like a suburb in 2015. It should've been a great example of a dense, clean, urban region, which would also mitigate the commuter problems and the pressure on San Francisco rents.

I don't have a 'video issue' as explained here, but I do have a problem with my my 'iSight' camera frequently not being recognized by Facetime (or anywhere else). The issue goes away upon rebooting. Any ideas? It&#x

Not just clickbait either. The whole article is a mish-mash of bad tech history analogies.

by tsax 12y ago
Great. More 'X is the new Y' articles. I wonder if there's a list of cliches somewhere that get repeated by tech journalists every so often.

Yes, which is also why The Checklist Manifesto was so successful.

Brilliant! When profilers are this easy to use, more people will use them, and the whole Ruby ecosystem will see better performance. Well done.
