Twitter and Facebook need to be held accountable. It appears that fomenting an insurrection is good for (their) business.

This 100%. From the tweets it sounds like the problem they were trying to solve was to make the app more modular so it would scale better to more devs. There were/are well established patterns for doing so in ObjectiveC. The Swift

Well they’ll definitely be more profitable if they leave the state. In fact they’d be way more profitable if they shut down all operations everywhere.

I know. What Apple should do is setup a crack privacy team to expose and publish all the ways the Android platform allows Google and third parties to collect data and generally invade privacy.

Facebook and YouTube would sure as f--- fix this problem if, you know, it was the law that they hold liability for any and/all content that was hosted on their platform that they were, you know, profiting off of by displaying ads next

No its not. I want the same things you do - good city services, shorter commutes, etc. Allowing runaway building without properly developing infrastructure is long term negative for everyone involved. Most of those you label "NIMBY&q

Still on track to allow SoftBank and the Saudi’s to foist this steaming turd on to the retail investor.

Right on cue - YIMBY/SFBARFers respond to any HN headline with the words San Francisco and Housing with their strawman argument "NIMBY'S". Nevermind the fact that the question here is about homelessness which is exacerb

Agreed. Prop 13 is also the reason municipalities zone more commercial. Ever wonder why so many hundred thousand sq ft office space is going up around transbay terminal without a balance of housing? Don’t think that’s the dreaded straw m

Didn't Airbnb just have something like 5000 units yanked off their site where the owners couldn't prove they were legit "sharing"? Seems like it's their issue now.

I feel like this guy lifted the thoughts from my head and wrote them on his blog. I agree 110% on everything here.

There must be a fairly good margin on auto-as-a-service else this guy wouldn’t be hocking it. I just hope they crash less than my smartphone...or smart tv...or smart refrigerator... or...

I'm not sure how the homelessness issue in SF has any relationship to housing costs. The root cause was losing a lot of funding for mental health services during the Gov. Reagan years. But go ahead with your strawman.

I thought building tons of apartments and kicking people out of stable living situations was supposed to decrease rents. Apparently the investors/builders have a price floor they cant go under else the situation becomes financially unv

That money is being used to improve commuter rail. The first bits of spending are to electrify CalTrain and make grade separation improvements which will increase capacity. That sounds a lot more tangible and useful than an imaginary hy

Even if it were for that, Vinod has been a bad actor here, so if this were the case the ends wouldn't have justified the means. First he fought to not reveal who had bought the land, and now he has been trying to overpower the people

This. Facebook is a glorified user registration system on mobile. As a developer, I have no incentive to use FB anonymous login.

Left field thought but isn't there a business opportunity to work in the draft of all of AirBnB's legal wrangling. Basically, you just let AirBnB spend all its money dealing with all the legal hassles in each city, and then come
