Opposite of what? I agree with legalization. And with a freer market for growers and sellers and entrepreneurs. Our government is plenty sinister too. And government is actually "people".

Exactly. People shoot guns. But guns being available is half the problem. Capitalism has it's unique characteristics when paired with people.

Capitalism is sinister like this. It doesn't intentionally do it, because capitalism isn't a person, but when everything is monetized by our creative entrepreneurs, it grows; our problems being no exception. Once someone makes mon

I also question why anyone would want to work at a place that... didn't want you. Google shouldn't have... followed their own guidelines? To say someone should have, is to say they would regret it. Google isn't a person. And

Then what flavor is it? With one existence precedes all phenomena. With the other phenomena precedes all existence.

"I think therefore I am." The essence that precedes the thought. "Our actions are the outcome of our being." The notion that success is reserved for the deserving, and criminals are devils that require punishment. That t

You're still talking today. By the time electric takes over, there is a good chance self driving will be here also. That's when this becomes possible: Your car will drop you off, go get charged, and come back if you want it to, or

We're paying the price for the proliferation of existentialism, and it's flavor of capitalism and justice. "You're on your own" is good when reaping rewards and thriving in a meritocracy, but not when you need help,

I think they're just so big and have so much money now, it's only natural for them to expand everywhere they can. In the US they will build factories and do the best they can with a US based factory. And same with everywhere else.

Short answer: Foxconn. And it's a Taiwanese company. The difference in resources and capacity are so vast, businesses like Apple have depended on these differences to make their huge profits. Steve Jobs has advocated US jobs and US fac

I can't believe I found it, or rather, that someone uploaded just it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II9GZrKztXQ When I heard power lines, for some reason one scene from Patlabor came to mind. It's the quintessen

I'm not everyone, but many probably feel how I feel about browser extensions. The browser is free, and so are their extensions... I'm fairly certain that upselling is the best approach to monetizing browser extensions... Provide a

That's not what this tool is for. It's not even a service. It's just a tool. This site demonstrates a fundamental understanding of what logos are for and how they are used in today's internet. It's a generic logo ma

I would add two things. 1. Encryption is the only way to secure data, and without it, data will always get stolen. And encryption with a backdoor is not encryption. 2. Data needs to be owned by the people. I should be able to go to Target o

Anything on your commute you will buy a pass for. But Tokyo Metro isn't JR or Odakyu. Transfers get expensive. And all fares are by distance. Any commuter passes are based on point A to point B also. They have a Japan Rail Pass that al

There is the cultural thing, but Japanese transit is also extremely well staffed to the point where any anomalies are caught and dealt with preemptively. It's endless city rail for the most part, and there are no true gaps until you&#x

There are plenty of options outside torture also. But the fear of unbreakableness is persistent, just as is those who believe torture to work or to be okay. The fundamental underpinnings of any related correct and incorrect behavior is stil

At the end of the day, when the police can't get into a room, they can break the door down. Same with guns. The police are okay with gun ownership because they have the right to gun citizens down. Not to judge, but that's the bala

> My rule of thumb is this: If the average Joe would have more luck finding their way around if it was just a HTML list of links to the right activity, then your UX is crap. These are the objective metrics that designers should rely on.

A good UX would be one where the UI is invisible. So the bullet points would and should be about the elements that don't exist -- that are invisible. This makes "Really Good UX" an oxymoron of sorts, because the focus is on w

There is no need to make that leap. You're just measuring conversions, period. And why not? If that's what's most important to you or your job. The UX could be shitty, but if it converts, you're good. There are plenty of

There is this disturbing trend of mixing the service/product and the interface and calling it "the experience". This is good for marketing maybe (of UX designers probably), but when designing a product, you're actually m

That's not the point. Like a body buried in the desert, there is nothing that can force a person to reveal anything. Silence is encryption enough when it comes to secrets. Torture doesn't work either. So it's business as usua

The argument here is extremely simple. Encryption is the only way to secure information. This is true for criminals and non-criminals alike. To deny encryption is to deny security to everyone. Presuming it's the criminals who will look

The banks should definitely be made responsible and made to pay for all the fraud they sign off on at all of their desks. We already know what happens when the banks run out of money. They get bailed out. That means they will NEVER be the v

Sure, compared to Tokyo and Manhattan. But everyone commutes using the train there. DTLA is different. It is still within the driving circuit, and all other LA shopping destinations have decent free or cheap parking. Paying 11 dollars just

Sorry, of parking structures is what I meant. I work in DTLA. I am always marveled when I go to SM. Huge modern parking structures on every block.

Even Beverly Hills has great parking. The major bottleneck downtown is parking right now and has been for a while. SM moved fast to build multiple parking structures... and that's where all the foot traffic comes from. Not sure why DTL

No... SM is a bit wack. The prices are so high, only big businesses can afford to be there. So most stores are big franchises. And it's too touristy for any culture. Main St is better, and towards Venice. I would also nominate DTLA. Do
