As beautiful as the images are, I can't help but wonder if we really want to be running loud, bright drones in the middle of the only quiet, peaceful areas that still exist.

In relative terms, I think it's safe to say the US was in a better position during the 90s than it is now. The USSR fell apart, China wasn't a real rival, our alliances were at their strongest, and we were running a budget surplus

Your comment comes off pretty condescending and dismissive, which clouds a valid point. It's not likely you will be individually targeted by law enforcement. The scarier proposition to me is bulk collection and latent analysis.

Because the jobs they're offering are shitty, demeaning and menial, and most people who take them are doing so because they need to survive. Absent the survival need, the companies will have to dramatically improve working conditions t

Hugely dependent on the region and age of the city, but yes. It is quite common to have to drive 5-10 minutes to get to the nearest shops, which are all concentrated in strip malls. Take a look at this satellite view of a Denver suburb: ht

It's insane to me just how much of the news content is taken directly from Twitter while newsrooms and investigative journalism is systematically defunded. How can this be reversed?

"Some ethnogroups are considered in disadvantage" is one way to put it, but it's minimizing it. We're talking about groups that were specifically targeted for their ethnicity: murdered, raped, disenfranchised, and exiled

As extortionate as Apple’s fees are, I’m actually glad that they have a business model that isn’t dependent on invasion of privacy. Without them continually calling attention to it, Google would have little incentive to improve privacy.
