Ah, thanks. I was wondering why I couldn't access a game community, but didnt bother to check why.
I hope while the site is down, they do some kind of culling of all the spam BS that has been taking over more and more, especially the lame meme guides that are just AI trash or copypasta.
While they're at it, they can cull some of the lame copypasta spam reviews as well. It kind of frustrating to take a quick peek at reviews and see ascii upvote cats and other tired memes.
Well, at least I can hope that they take care of it. What's that phrase? Want in one hand, poop in the other, and see which one fills faster.
If you leave the EU who are people in your country going to vote for? Most likely, either the right or the left.
Leaving the EU doesn't automatically make a country not right/left/whatever. Even before the EU most countries had the same thing. The UK left and still have left/right/whatever. You need to change a lot more than EU membership status to avoid the whole left/right issue.
Probably because they know it's not politically popular. As members of the EU, they can work with their commissioners to bring in unpopular legislation and then blame the eu if anyone complains. The UK used to do this a lot, and I expect other countries do it too.
I don't know if youre trying to imply I said any thing about the censorship law, but all I was pointing out was that leaving the EU doesn't change anything about parent's idea about voting left/right/whatever.
What I'm saying, it looks like those are pushed at EU level seemingly by bureaucratic apparatus regardless of ruling parties. Yet such ideas seem to be nowhere to be found at home, again regardless of ruling parties.
I'm probably wrong, but my gut feeling is that euro bureaucracy is playing it's own game. And it has little in common with democracy, citizen rights and citizen will at large. Infamous Juncker's phrase about how to push through unpopular regulations is the modus operandi of those people.
What I'm saying is why are you commenting it to me? I don't care either way. There's other comments that your reply would fit better under. Trying to drag everyone into an EU good/EU bad discussion is not what everyone wants. I simply stated that leaving the EU doesn't make left/right disappear, which is true. You can argue your separate point to me all you want, but I dont really care.
Centralised government and power is much more dangerous for society, than decentralised nations.
Im not sure why someone in Brusell should vote about regulations for entire Europe.
You cannot imply same rules for entire nations like all are the same. They are not. They have different cultures, different values, different taxes, different wealth, etc...
> You cannot imply same rules for entire nations like all are the same. They are not. They have different cultures, different values, different taxes, different wealth, etc...
I'm not implying anything. I'm stating the fact that partisanship is not only dictated by EU membership. Maybe you're correct, maybe not, I dont really care, but it has nothing to do with my comment. Please try again with someone else who cares as much as you do.
Leaving the EU, however, triggers competition. These small European countries will compete for talent/money/knowledge and that means more freedom and less taxes.
But hey gotta deny the EU is not working even after hitting the wall and your face is dangling from the other side right?
I didn't say anything about it working or not, did I? The only thing I pointed out was that that leaving the EU isn't going to change parent's idea about leaving the EU to avoid voting left or right. Your comment doesn't apply or mean anything to me. I don't live in Europe nor do I follow all their politics enough to have a skin in the game.
I think what parent is trying to say is that as a founder themselves, they didn't read start-up focused books. They read other books not related to start-ups. What that other books are, I don't know.
It really depends on where in San Diego the other person lived. A lot of people will say San Diego instead of whatever little city they live in in the area. La Jolla is probably a better comparison to Manhattan Island. The average home price in La Jolla is over $2M, which I think is closer to Manhattan. It still shouldn't be higher than Manhattan, but pretty damn close.
San Diego would probably be better compared to the Bronx, SI or Queens, maybe. But again, it depends on where in SD that person lived. Heck, you can move inland to Kearney Mesa and still find a home under $1M, hopefully. It's been a minute since I was down there.
Also, I feel that the website/ACCRA is trustworthy, but why lump Los Angeles and Long Beach together when every borough in NYC is separate? Doesn't make sense to me. Long Beach is as independent of L.A. as the boroughs are to each other.
I would assume that in LA Jolla, that $2 million gets you a medium-sized house. In Manhattan, it buys you a one- or two-bedroom condo with a high condo fee.
A city next to me (L.A. area) has some dedicated bus lanes and bike lanes. Unfortunately, they dont have one of the other benefits that you mention, like banning cars in some areas. There are also connections to the train to go farther, but the buses are still mostly empty except for students and laborers who live outside the city. The buses themselves are typically faster and decent, as I ride them a lot. Meanwhile, the other traffic lanes are jam packed during rush hours. It is the L.A. area, so there's just a ton of people/drivers anyway.
The last time I went through there driving, it took almost 20 mins to go 2-3 miles due to traffic (and stop lights), obviously during rush hour. The buses were still nearly empty (I wished I didnt have to drive that day). At a non-rush hour time, it takes me maybe 20 mins for my whole trip home which is about 9 miles.
My point, I guess, is it's not always just having a free bus lane. There are a lot of people that need convincing to take buses and alternative transportation. A few of my coworkers wish they could take the bus/train, but having kids in school and other things make it a bit harder for them.
You are not wrong - this is where personal, private, transportation excels. And why Culver city desperately needs a quality network of safe, protected, bike infrastructure. Cars don't scale, but bikes do.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. If there was safe and protected infrastructure, I feel a lot more people, including myself, would bike, especially with all the new e-bikes available. I will give Culver City some credit because they do have some dedicated bike lanes but they're not really protected.
> but the buses are still mostly empty except for students and laborers who live outside the city.
You take the bus so this goes without saying but, let's say a bus is mostly empty and has 8 people inside. If you were to put those 8 people into individual cars, you'd make the road a lot more crowded. I think a lot of folks look at these mostly-empty buses and don't realize that most cars are mostly-empty also (average 1.5 occupants / car in most of the US, honestly probably lower in the LA area due to its sheer car centricity.) But of course if you're in a car you're more likely to view another driver as "someone like you" while you look at the bus and think of it as a waste of space and taxpayer money.
Yes, exactly! Lol I take it you've been or live there? Afternoon traffic is ridiculous and even in surrounding areas like Palms and Mar Vista, which I think are people avoiding Culver City. Just way too many drivers here in general.
> Compare that with the Soviet Union, or East Germany, or China, or North Korea
Would it be better to compare current, non-totalitarian governments, such as EU, Australia, or the like? It kind of sounds disingenuous to use extreme examples. (No dig to you or your opinion, just don't see how using those examples helps.)
As I already said, many countries have freedom of association to one degree or another. You could spend a lot of effort to distinguish countries with a similar degree of freedom, but I chose to list a few obvious examples of countries that do not have that freedom. Or did not, as the case may be.
> This is the bottom line right here. It's the same with many other products too.
This is how I feel about some released "MVPs". "I gotta show something even if it's crap. If it doesn't work, we'll fix it along the way."
Anytime someone mentions they're releasing an MVP, I make note of it to revisit later when they're done with alpha/beta testing. Incomplete release products kind of bug me and it seems to be more common, but I guess that may be a "me" thing. I'm glad my clients are tiny to small businesses and want things to work properly before they take over.
That's a limitation of us. We need touch and indicators to gauge how effective we are, but a machine can precisely throttle 23% or keep the steering wheel at 19 degrees without need to gauge how hard it is pushing the actuators. Touch is nice, but hardly crucial for driving.
