Because you aren't actually in America.

Aha! I came here about to ask "Why is this better than polymaps?" -- thank you! Any other reasons you know of? (or anyone else?)

How many apartments are vacant in the US, just as a comparison, does anyone know? That would make the number much more meaningful.

Also, are these apartments dirt cheap and do they speak english in these areas at all? Maybe they could be a haven for startups, which are somewhat less bound by geography, if they were extremely cheap. I might just be dreaming though.

>You can't just keep cutting out X% of the light and still have some there.

Yes you can.

I remember thinking of this one time as a teenager. Could we see a top down view of the rise of man? The huge caveat is that you have some capability of travelling faster than the light leaving earth, so that you can then look back and absorb the rays. It makes perfectly good sense that if you could travel faster than the speed of light you could use a massive telescope to peer back at the earth and see it's past geological events -- and I mean millions of years even, not just something trivial -- or given a strong enough telescope perhaps more detail could be seen. All of the information that left the earth as light is still out there, all over the universe.

This kind of sucks, actually.

I think the implication is that the presence of women leads to higher performance among men, as well as any other traits that women contribute to the group. I think it's a give and take overall, and I bet women get better around men too. We are symbiotic after all. ;)

I was thinking the same. People see me as a jack of all trades, sometimes, and I really connected with some of the points the original poster made. But it's usually because the other person doesn't know a lot about whatever "trade" I'm doing at the moment, that they would call me a jack of all trades. Backend developers respect my backend work, designers respect my design work, etc, and that doesn't make me a master of none, nor you.

I'm an entrepreneur and I work for myself.

Can i run Node.js on this?

The article seems to be linkbait anyways, but if it were true I would be entirely against it -- I am just pointing out where the argument for home network monitoring falls short when both parties are aware of the monitor being there. I suppose the key to having one, for a parent, or for someone building one, would be to leave a kid completely unsuspecting.

I'm sure there are plenty of kids that can circumvent this and access facebook from friends' computers, from school, cafes, etc. This is especially true if the kid knows they are being watched or if they have a laptop. Kids are smart. You suggest that a parent out-tech their child. I don't imagine thats so easy to do for some parents that aren't great with computers when they are up against a tech-savvy teenager.

>I will pay you $10 for everyday I don't come to the gym and get on that bike for at least 25 minutes.

Not to nitpick, but I think that "dont" shouldnt be in that sentence? The way it's worded incentivizes the trainer to make sure I don't show up. Without the "dont" it sort of encourages me to not show up because it costs an extra $10, but at the same time the other guy is going to be encouraged to get me to show up. Or maybe the analogy just doesn't work. I get your point entirely though.

I liked the article.
