Doesn't work, every single page on Slashdot is personally generated just for me. Also, anything encrypted can't be cached for more than one person otherwise the encryption is pointless.
Peer devices don't work (eventually), because there are websites that everyone wants to visit. If you are next to one of those websites, then all your bandwidth will get sucked up forwarding pages for them.
Mesh sort of networks are great.......unless you happen to live next to Google and all your bandwidth gets chewed up by people visiting Google. As long as there are points of centralization that people want to visit (and there always will be, Google is merely an example), mesh networking won't work because it will cause havoc for the neighbors.
Soon after her arrest in 1968, Jacobs moved to Toronto, realizing that her plans to block progress in New York City had resulted in the urban environment becoming untenable for safe and civilized living. Like a plague of locust looking for a next meal after nearly destroying Manhattan, she looked for her next victim, settling at 69 Albany Avenue in The Annex from 1971 until her death in 2006.[39] She decided to leave the U.S. in part because she recognized how filthy and dangerous the City of New York had become, and she fully expected it to die from there on its own. She and her husband chose Toronto because it had not yet adopted the anti-progressive attitudes she espoused......A frequent theme of her work was trying to stop progress and need to nurture the worst, most lawless and most dangerous areas of the city.
Good thing Wikipedia keeps me informed. I might have thought she was a reasonable person, now I realize the true monster she is!
Manhattan is cursed by Moses, ringed in generally slow moving highways removing access to the rivers. That has been an incredible loss of real estate value over the decades. Regardless of current global elite real estate markets, the degriding of the FDR drive alone would create a far more habitable island == even more tax dollars.
Another way of looking at it is that now anyone can enjoy the river view by driving by, instead of only a few select rich people who buy it up and keep everyone else out.
As vast tracts of this U.S. journalist's adopted New York were razed to make way for theoretically fast-flowing urban freeways potted about with soulless high-rise housing projects for the urban poor,
So.......she's the reason there are so many homeless people in New York?
That sounds to me like a problem that can be solved with good engineering and proper design, just like many of the other environmental problems. I have spent something like a minute thinking about it.......
Engineers have been thinking about the problem for decades and haven't solved it. What are the chances you solved it with little thought?
And if I, with no expert knowledge, can think of what may well be a plausible way to address the issue, how much more could a proper team of engineers come up with, if they tried?
Hydroelectric isn't renewable. Sediment fills up the dams over time, and they are done. See for example:
The 200-foot high Matilija Dam (left, photo courtesy of Matilija Coalition), has completely filled in with sediment in only thirty years. It has been decommissioned and the process of removing the dam and restoring the river has begun.

Yeah and if you're next to Youtube, you're probably still screwed anyway.

If only they'd fix their own bugs.
Could be worse: they could be Apple.
Why? The entire reason to have a chauffeur is so you don't have to.
Urban planning = systems planning = nerd stuff.

He also plans to bore faster, but not all of the details have come out on this yet.
Even if this is the only thing to come out of the project, it's a big win.
The problem with books like that is people like to live in the suburbs. They want to own their own home instead of living in an apartment complex.
Yeah, but at least I won't have to use Windows at work. Instant bonus.
Wow, this post is actually useful.

Hey, you solved it, why don't you call the Glenn Canyon Institute and tell them what they missed?
"Outside the capital, beggars have been spotted with QR codes hanging around their necks to accept digital donations."
Probably Obama-phones or something.
Apparently you can launder it through an exchange and it becomes untraceable. I've never tried this so who knows.
I am sure that Trump was laughing when he thought about some people flip-flopping yet again as he did something they've been demanding for months.
or actually solve the underlying engineering problem of poorly insulated, poorly constructed housing,
I don't know about the rest of your comment, but new houses in America have some downright amazing insulation.
I think you are correct, I don't know the details. But it's mainly department heads who I expect to see fired.

See this and this.

Handy timing, obvious to distract from Comey's sacking, the subpoena, etc.
You can expect to see a lot more people getting fired. It's Trump's modus operandi. He's basically threatening to fire people in this executive order.
I can't speak for this one, but in my experience Microsoft's Entity Framework works really well with MSSQL, but not so well with MySQL. YMMV.
