Your complaints are likely valid and still irrelevant to how much of an improvement almost anything would be over Greyhound.

Signal to noise on the defunct Google Discussions search was much, much higher.

Huh. I initially had the dilemma framed in my mind as an environmental, not economic one. Interesting perspective shift.

If someone nailed discussion search, I'd have no use for Google for 90% of my searching. As it is, most of my searches are a series of: site:<reddit/ycombinator/stackoverflow/tripadvisor/random niche forum.com&gt

Thanks for the reminder. I just downloaded the latest FF beta and exiled Chrome to an "only when needed" role. All the back-and-forth about speed and features is understandable, but misses the point that Firefox needs our support

Would love to read an interview about the decision making process. I'm especially interested if sustainability factored in, given Arizona's relationship with water resources.

There was a marked shift at the beginning of this year. I think everyone got political fatigue and Facebook was a channel for exacerbating the overexposure.

In the short-term or the long-term?

There's no way the returns on investing in making the mall a pleasurable place to hang out in the short term outweigh the costs, but if people depended on malls as part of their area's social fabric, I doubt they would be facing t

Keep in mind providing access to photos does the same via geotagging.

I'm planning on making the same switch. My main use case for Dropbox was having access to my photos from anywhere, but they have systematically hobbled their photo capabilities beginning with the sunsetting of Carousel to the recent re

It's a 10+ hour climb though? I'm good with a quick jaunt up Sanitas before work haha- you're (respectfully) nuts!

Yep. Growing up in an unremarkable Denver suburb, it was amusing moving to Boulder for college to see newcomers try to out-Colorado each other.

Born and raised there. Off the top of my head: - Not much diversity aside from a large Hispanic population - Sprawl. Endless repetitive suburbs - I've heard people from large cities complain about it being boring - Increasingly crowded

Nextdoor mails you a postcard for validation, and your address has to be within the neighborhood.

It is interesting to me that this topic provokes angry responses. I find the tenor of debate on this subject similar to what you'd find in reply to an article about early retirement through discipline in savings.

On the subject of disrespect: characterizing the entirety of the vast diversity and prehistory of hunter-gatherer society as "running around naked looking for an animal to kill."

This mirrors my experience. When I enrolled in a CS masters in 2006, I was repeatedly questioned why I would enter the field when all those jobs would be going to India.

They mentioned an infrared camera, bet they're checking temperature too.

They tested it against lifelike face masks, I doubt that would work, fortunately. They mentioned an IR camera, wouldn't be surprised if they're checking temperature as well.

I was relieved to see they are still selling the SE. It's really a fantastic little device and I much prefer the form factor. I don't see a compelling reason to upgrade.

Folks are glossing over this quote too easily: > “Historically human beings have shown zero tolerance for injury or death caused by flaws in a machine,” It doesn't matter if it's objectively safer; people have no issue doing da

Amazon won't raise any monopoly red flags until it's responsible for the vast majority of our non-public infrastructure; it is simultaneously growing toward becoming both a horizontal and a vertical monopoly in every field it oper

Sure, I agree for a greenfield social/mobile/local mobile app, RN makes a lot of sense. > both a desktop (Linux/MacOS/Windows) and mobile (tablet and phone, android and IOS) application from same codebase... word-proc
