In the cheap farmland made available by the bulldozing of the suburbs. You don't need many farmers out there to feed the city - you could move your farms closer to the city if the cities were more compact, which would result in less waste.
I don't see this as a problem, but as a solution. Why should people be living all spread out? Everything is more efficient if you cram people into walkable cities.
Where are you in the US? I also have a debit card and infrequently use it, I have never gotten a fee for using it anywhere other than a competing ATM. In fact, I have sometimes gotten discounts for using it rather than a credit card at gas stations.
I haven't driven on the autobahn in a few years, but when I did there were many Germans driving much faster than 112 mph, and much faster than this American even when I was driving around that speed.
If most of us come in under the caps, how is having the caps costly to anyone other than the few who exceed the caps? Crashplan could have just decided to institute a cap, and most of their customers would have never noticed.
Cynically, I imagine that this was not done out of the kindness of their hearts but as a cost saving measure as whatever off the shelf board they are building around came with USB ports.
There are at least a few players in the NBA right now under 6 feet tall, Isaiah Thomas being one of them. Shortest pro ever was 5' 3" which is considerably under 6'.
As far as I can see, there is no way to escape someone else controlling your access to food, shelter, and medicine. It's not like you can produce all of those things entirely independently. The question then is about the method of control, not whether or not the control exists.
Amen. So many bad decisions being made at many levels because people know they won't have to accept responsibilities for the consequences - an outfit like Bain Capital shouldn't exist in a healthy economy.
I'm a millenial. I'm doing fine - no college debt, own my own home, etc. Compared to my father, who got a bachelor's degree, I had to get far more education (post-graduate) to get the job I have in order to buy a house. The price of housing in much of the country is rising at a pace that outpaces the increase in income by quite a bit. My back of the napkins calculations are that income has about doubled in the last 30 years, and housing has gone up about 4 times.... and university tuition more than that.
I don't know the death toll exactly, but the various european corporations operating in Asia, like the East India Company and Dutch East India Company did a fair bit of murdering. Now, it isn't clear that they did more murdering than the baseline present in those locales, but they certainly were motivated by profit.
For the record, I'm not a socialist.

Heat death of the universe is coming, universe is doomed!

Another millenial here, I use cash often. For buying and selling in person between individuals, cash is a much better option than paypal/venmo/etc.
Hi Grandma! In my state, that's about where the speed limit is at (65 MPH), but normal speeds are more like 140 kph when traffic allows.
I haven't driven on the autobahn in a few years, but when I did there were many Germans driving much faster than 112 mph, and much faster than this American even when I was driving around that speed.
I've done that before! Ahhhh, to be a bored kid again...

I haven't been in a lot of cities, but Berlin has great parks, Tokyo and Kyoto do as well, and Central Park in NYC isn't terrible.
Yeah, I am suspicious of pesticide use as well. Some of them stick around for a while, so the effects can be cumulative.
Wrong. Sad.
Oh, you think you're so clever, taking part in anonymous meta meta self criticism, as if people here wouldn't see through my ruse.
No admission or denial of having written the above post, the post it responded to, or the post that that was in response to.
This is why I'm on slashdot.
I'm not the previous poster, but you can find a whole bunch of statistics that mostly look like this: http://www.pewresearch.org/fac...

hahahaha. I would mod you up if I could.
yeah. what a horrible movie. I'll never get that time back.
As an american - it is probably not the chinese government pushing for the spyware in western countries.
My guess is that they are doing this to try to comply with government requirements about "security"
To where? I don't use twitter, but I might be interested in an alternative.
