This is the danger of making cities overly attractive AND making it hard or expensive for builders to build. Quality of life is great but not planning for infrastructure and taking the people who currently live in these cities in account (as in how they won't be able to afford to live life if people start/keep moving in on them) is a disaster like this waiting to happen. Just like its happening where I am.
Then, people / companies from expensive cities start taking their money and buying up real estate in cheaper cities, jacking up prices there and messing up the infrastructure in those cities who are not prepared for the population growth... Where I am California is moving here to get away from their "expensive cities" jacking up prices here... locals are tired of it.. Now people who have lived in the cheaper cities can barely afford to rent, let alone get a home in the future. In my opinion the expensive cities are a plague on other cities receiving their refugees. It seems to cause a chain reaction.
People / cities do not think about the full consequences of their "I/we want(s)" that lead to this attractiveness. There should be a large infrastructure tax you are required to pay based on the offset of the cost of living from where you come from to where you are moving... When someone tries to move to a cheaper market that tax would go toward that cheaper market to help build infrastructure / housing.
Question remains, how do the cities like SF fix this problem? Maybe you shouldn't be allowed to further promote or allow population growth without making reasonable plans to make more structures for living?
Let's remove the jack for my powerless wired headphones and replace them with a wireless headset that needs charged every few hours and has additional components like batteries to add to our trash... great decision. No, don't worry its advancement, not spoiled people.
Not speaking about younger children but with young teens my experience is that once blocked from something they want to see, they will find other ways to get to it and diligently figure out how to hide that fact from you. Don't bet on figuring it out.
I have had better luck explaining what it is, why they shouldn't watch it and then telling them that I am going to give them the responsibility to not purposely view it. I also open the door to ask questions they have about it without cracking jokes or making fun of anyone (a trusting converstion). The point being they ask questions and not feel embarrassed doing it.They will hide things regardless and they will prefer asking friends and other people but that sense responsibility seems much more effective than being oppressive about it. When being oppressive, you better believe they will find somewhere else or some other method to find what they want to see/do. They will also be less open to you about what they are actually doing as well.
From what I have seen, the more restrictive you are about something, the more they do it once you have no control over them. They are growing people, they will be curious and they may try once the hormones start kicking in, but by then you probably have more important things to worry about than porn.
Keeping devices and services secure vs keeping them functional has always been a trade off, there is hardly ever a best of both worlds. Nor can you expect any of it to be perfect. Considering all the crap I have found on FB and the ridiculous things people believe and click not to mention just how bad so many peoples computers are (I see alot), I would prefer they have a scanner. The fact that people can't figure it out just points to why its needed, I would be willing to bet they are the ones with infected computers. Yes, maybe one that works better, but no one is forcing you to use their service, if it is that bad, don't use it.. better yet, maybe create your own platform, get the whole world to use it then balance its security and functionality, see how well that goes for you.
Everything that makes it big, like Facebook, seems to eventually grow out of its pants. Hey we are making some cash, let's add this and that and bloat the system to the point where its nothing like it was, at least we will be rich! Whatever comes around next will likely have the same issue. It will be great at first then history will repeat itself, even if the makers are aware of these issues, something will happen whether it be legal, social, etc.. There are always people that ruin it, which leads to changes, and then there is always tracking information and making money.
Everyone I know loved the old Facebook. Not a chat room, but just Facebook. Sure there were some issues, like annoying political posts that never change anyone's mind, news from the Onion that every old conservative believes (and will argue with you over) and the ridiculously stupid ones like Saturn will be the size of the moon in the night sky on April 22, 2019 - and people actually share it like its true!
However, it was great to keep tabs with each other and not scroll endlessly wondering if your browser will freeze before you find your friends post about the snail he found on his bedpost. Too many ads. There should be none in the news feed and less on the sidebars, hell my browser can only handle so much! I also want my feed in order, not based on an algorithm of what I should see first, nor should I have to click a drop down to sort the posts that way!
While we do have issues here with traffic but there are too many questions / issues: - If they build above ground, the area near DIA up to Greeley is the west edge of tornado alley, what are the considerations about running it through that area? Weld county has a high volume of storms in late spring. Of course if it were in tunnels it would be safer (as far as weather is concerned) but more expensive. - Where will it fit on the way to Vail? another thing to crowd out I-70? - Will this violate the deal Colorado made with the company that is adding toll express lanes to the highways? - Someone else mentioned ticket prices - Concept is good but it is too new to know how well it will work - Death trap? it is new so it is likely unregulated where it needs to be for safety. - It's already expensive enough to live here, though the ones who seem to get these ideas are making good enough paychecks to not care, many of us do not. We like new technology and relaxed laws, it attracts more people that drive housing and other costs up. We need to stop at some point.
Though I think new technology is great, it should probably be tested on a smaller scale project first (IE just 2 cities not too far apart). So they can have some type of idea of what to expect from it. Denver's traffic is not as bad as other major cities, though it can suck, its nothing like Atlanta or Washington DC. Maybe invest in better routes and better access through the mountains. Even in the plains major roads between towns are limited.
I wonder how many people are going to come home to find Fluffy outside because it got out when the door opened. Well hopefully Fluffy stays away from the road.
If encryption was lessened to where law enforcement can get in I wonder how many phones, including those of law enforcement agencies, will be compromised by those with malicious intent who figured out how to get in, either by hacks / mods / social engineering? Sounds like that would be a big problem as well. I hope they are as willing to pursue all of the cases where phones were decrypted by non-law enforcement and information is stolen from phone users. oops I hope I don't believe that.
It adds extra bullshit to something that should be as simple.(like plug it in) instead pair your device, make sure its charged and make sure to turn off Bluetooth when you are not using it! Then when done add those extra batteries to the electronic graveyard! I have had plenty of jacks work for years, I have also had Bluetooth transmitters that sucked so bad they were choppy from 3 feet away or burned out . I can replace a jack in most devices. Not an integrated Bluetooth chip. Great Job!
Went to google drive and I can see the interface, but not files, just continuously loads. Although I can access files in my Quick Access area. Glad I back this up locally! Hopefully I wont lose Gigs of files like the last time I had an issue with them (a couple years ago).
It's China not the US not Europe not anywhere else but China China is a nation-state that prefers to control what its citizens do - for whatever reasons. China follows China laws, even if I don't agree with them.. which I don't.
So I assume you expect companies to hire another person to sort through all the emails and direct them to the correct department... if any? Part of the reason companies have set emails is organization. They don't want tech questions coming to the finance department. No marketing vendors emailing the ops team and so on. When customers receive a general email like that it gets abused with random questions, often completely unrelated to the email that waste a lot of time that could be used for actual customer service.
I am not yet convinced. It's not ALL about convenience and how much it protects those outside your car (that is some of it), Its not ALL about looking toward the future, it is ALSO about the safety of who is in my car and how well a car can be trusted along those lines. Until that trust is built, someone else can risk it. We back up our servers, computers and anything else your can think of because..They crash, Become corrupt, get hacked/infected, lightning strike, or what about those damn pixies that cause random explainable things to happen? These cars are imperious to these how?
Not having a backup plan is a ba....
*** A problem has been detected and your car will now shut down to prevent damage.*** A problem has been detected with the following file: left_turn_signal.sys
or maybe this: **** Your car has encountered a serious kernel problem **** Your car may become unstable now and might need to be restarted
This was expected. Focusing on one part of the problem isn't going to fix it, but that way of thinking is a problem in itself that needs to change if you are going to make any reasonable progress in this area.
Besides, many progressive areas cause this themselves by making the cost of living in these places very high (in one way or another) so naturally they see minimum wage as too little.. Seattle, San Francisco, Denver/Boulder... and yes, it is WAY more expensive, from my own personal experience. Add more government services? Taxes go up, waits get longer because more people use them and quality goes down.
Furthermore, just because companies make money, it is not their duty to give it away to people they don't need to work for them, while some companies have found effective ways to do this, it just doesn't work everywhere. If you don't like it, come up with a working plan and execute it yourself. I would be just as thrilled as you are to see that happen and I would give you kudos for it, but the chance of it working everywhere? meh.
You don't have to like the idea of economics, but every change you make will have another impact that, if not thought out well, will be unexpected (or you won't want to believe). Add more government services? Taxes go up, waits get longer for them because more people use them and quality goes down. Is that the quality service you want like other countries and locations, it has been studies, but tends to be ignored until it is implemented and they realize it is an issue. Rent caps? People will get places bigger than what they need leaving less places for larger families and companies won't want to build new homes / apartments because it isn't profitable.. yes it has happened and is proven. Honestly, this issue came up when the wage idea was being debated, did we really think that large conservative corporations were going to really like the progressive idea of forking out more money? Many companies I have worked for JUST make enough profit to pay their employees and keep running, not all are money hoarders. Assumptions like that are dangerous.
Just keep in mind there is a balance to everything, both sides of that balance matter. Increase wages, employers pay more, they increase costs, in turn citizens (which now have higher wage) also spend more of their wage to buy things.
No one wants a nuke plant in their back yard, but IF we are going to use them they need to go somewhere, complaining about it and tossing it around just wastes time. The biggest excuse I hear is regulations.. well there are regulations everywhere too. The site located just north of Inglis, FL is only 10 miles or so north of the old site. The town is well known for drugs, fishing and lack of employment (largely due to stubborn locals that don't like new things - like a chain restaurant in town, but complain when they can't get work or find money).
Hurricanes? Well the old plant is in the same area, I lived there while it was hit by a few storms.. no problems, as I understand it the outside of the plant is made to withstand some serious force, like plane crashes, tornadoes and other highly unlikely things. That is the least of my worries. People are so paranoid about stuff that they really know little about, which again leads to senseless fear and more regulations... My biggest fear is that the area is notorious for a lack of education beyond high school, which makes me wonder about who will run (or ruin) the new plant (and why the old one is in such iffy condition).
My view is... the town is already close to the old site, and the new site is not really close to anything else. As far as employment.. well that remains to be seen, the town is close enough now that locals could work (or have worked) at the old plant... doesn't seem to make a difference. I only know a few people in that town that work there (or meet the education requirements). Of course it would probably help as far as temporary work... while they are building it. Really, you want more power.. put it near the old one away from most populated areas... just like they are trying to do. This way people that have jobs with the old plant (or use to have) won't have to relocate to work at the new one.
This is hearsay, there is no evidence for or against Google glass, I would expect this to not pass or be overturned on the basis of hearsay until there is EVIDENCE that google glass is a hazard... not just an opinion based on statement or thought... which the hearsay rule is generally aimed at prohibiting. Although the way things are now days I should expect this to be ignored due to lack of respect for our laws and rules over personal feelings and reactions...
Just mount the responder where the windshield meets the dash... with the camera facing up... it still reads when you go through the toll.. and all they see is the sky (and no tape used).
This is stupid, it is impossible to publish anything that wont offend someone, and if you replace it with something else, that is sure to offend yet someone else. Italy may as well shut down the net.... I honestly think this tops the chart on retarded ideas... People need to get a grip, it is not possible to have a world that will not show you some offense somewhere, as others have different views and personalities...
This never works.. just try it and watch what the rest of the country does to them.
If anyone in office is ignorant or dumb enough to try this they should be immediately thrown out of office for violating the 1st and attempting to corrupt laws that we have in place they should not lay fingers on... They should be lucky to consider themselves in office... etc... If a party doesnt like the Bill or constitution, they should be reconstructed.
WE build robots to do work...
then we build robots to build the robots that do the work...
Then the robots take all of the work...
And we wonder why we have no jobs and lots of unemployment...
Maybe I should buy a share in a working robot and earn a dollar for every so many it makes... that way I can still have an income.
Holy shit Im gonna have a heart attack.. I thought I was the only person on earth who thought this same thing.... Someone needs to put their foot down on these companies, they are all using similar tactics to make a system that is owned by a few companies, but act like a single monopoly by sharing the same bad ideas.
No one will step up though.. it would be nice but everyone thinks someone else will do it or its not worth it.....
I just need power to do it..

Amazing trailers and ads = High expectations
High expectations = lots of sales

Similar thoughts when you reverse it.

We were impacted by this at my Denver, CO office... a long way from the east coast. :)
