I totally get where you are coming from, just offering a counter. I have observed that the packed like tinned sardines is one kind of life, typically lived by transient folks who desire to live in the hippest neighborhoods, get gouged, live in shitboxes, and then move on and say "I needed more space and convenience", when the space and convenience was always there, just not next to an Equinox.

There are four Costco's in NYC, all but one in working class neighborhoods, and full of large families getting deals.

If the stats in this are true, Amazon’s warehouse workforce turns over at 25 times the rate of Costco’s workforce, for almost the same wage. That is remarkable.

Just thinking about that little big neck of the world puts me to sleep. In the best of ways. I love West Texas.

New tool that does task better than worker leads to workers being less good at task. Net outcome for patient is positive. Next?

Programming: "for a given task, if you take a shortcut then you will not have the familiarity and expertise that someone who took the veritable and righteous path would have".

The question is then, what did you do with the extra time. If it's fuck all, then yes, that's a liability.

Like any technology, it comes down to the disposition of any given person in how they plan on applying it.

Not trying to say it's all going to be awesome. Definitely maybe the opposite. These arguments are weak tho.

Zune was low key pretty damn solid. (Yes, I lived in Redmond as a teenager.) In fact I may even say it was their last gasp of a solid user interface. Right before Vista.

Is there a better Maps app?

I guess those gaussian splats on Apple Maps could be p. neat.
