When did the TSA make flying safer and cheaper?

Tell me about the tangible, useful things (like groceries, vehicles, living spaces) these assets/positions have bought for Bitcoin owners.

> And how is Apple's walled app store any better than the alternative of at&t controlled app store?

I don't know if you've used an iPhone, but do you really think AT&T's walled garden would have anything approaching the quality of the best apps on the App Store?

It will for a bit. The people who build UI frameworks in wasm will either make it a priority or they'll add it later.

It sucks but this is the way we're heading. I'm not sure web devs will even be writing HTML in 5 years beyond adding a canvas tag.

Can your family give you a hug just as you enter the gate to board your plane? Because that's how it was before 9/11 in the States.

If measles is more common now that anti-vax is more popular, that's a problem worth addressing. We had a known, working solution, so yeah, it does seem like child abuse.

Yes. That is one of the correct ways to frame this problem.

> you can easily find books written by MDs arguing that vaccines are unsafe

People aren't reading books with bad info, they're reading Facebook posts and random blogs.

> a) is it really accurate that a smart person can't legitimately learn and be sensitive to life experiences from others

There's are a lot of subtleties that lived experience can reveal. Even the smartest person might miss some knock-on effect, etc.

> b) why can't they hire people to advise them while still managing the project themselves?

So, you're saying... diversity of thought might be useful?

Just occurred to me, as "heat waves" become the norm for longer periods of time, I'm sure there will be people arguing for the cost-savings of not having to cool the school buildings during the summer.

> calling it an "imaginary" position is disingenuous at best

It was never worthy of engagement anyway, so perhaps stop creating strawpeople with it.

Out of curiosity, what neighborhood/borough do you live in? Is it a middle class area?

I don't know about your neighborhood, but in ours, there are no sidewalks and a bunch of teens drive as fast as they possibly can.

Yeah. I've always been obsessed with music, and what I miss about Best Buy circa 1998 is walking into a sea of CDs with $20 and likely leaving with 2 new CDs. I never understood how the mall music stores worked, like Tower Records or Sam Goody, because their CDs were always like $18.

I don't know if all Best Buy locations were like this, but for seemingly every artist that was signed to a label, they had their full discography + singles with amazing b-sides + even imports from Japan (imports cost like $20 though). Just aisle after aisle, so much music to buy and making really hard decisions about what's going to fit in my budget.

It what's I imagine a candy store is to a 6 year old.

The docs say 10.11 for most of the APIs. A few are still (and forever?) iOS only.
