I find both sides of this discourse have value: the federal loss of regulatory powers WRT corporations, and getting grassroots going again. I feel like my neighborhood streets are not places anymore, they're entirely liminal. Nothing happens in these spaces, no playing or working, except as strictly necessary.

> demanding the government build you a house

You're the only one saying that. Be honest in your posts. Everyone else is saying that Palo alto doesn't permit nearly enough housing to be built. I can't build an ADU because my city won't permit structures within 7.5m of my rear property line. I have the skills and the cash and the need, but not the permission.

It's an economic drag, making housing scarce. All the businesses that need service workers have a much harder time operating in a housing desert like palo alto. More of them will close, and not be replaced. The surviving restaurants will be so busy and understaffed that it's less pleasant to visit than the better restaurants in Fresno. Same for all the other services, like a hotel, or a mechanic, grocery store, pharmacy, parcel delivery. It's also difficult for the b2b suppliers to survive. Suddenly your mechanic has to order parts from farther afield, and your car takes an extra day to fix.

9 years of the api working, then Google shuts them down. I expect an interface to be consistent after working for 9 years.

I think they're trying to keep their story simple, for the sake of clarity. I believe the nextcloud team when they say they need the permission.

Part of the issue is that nextcloud has many use cases, including ones where your files don't get synced to your mobile device until you touch the file, replacing them with a reference to a file. It's cool cause you can access and manage a tb of pictures or documents from a 64gb android.

So it's only much faster at delete, which is the least used operation? Am I reading the results correctly?

It feels like if you're spending 1M in cloud per year, the hardware and colo will probably cost 1M to buy.

Well, if a guest gives off a dangerous vibe, the clerk can make judgement call.

That isn't a test of anything, since we've not isolated a single policy change; many things changed everywhere all over the world all at once.

McDonalds also refinanced that real estate after opening the store, to build up liquidity for the next location.

It's almost like the glass-steagal act had a good approach for the average person.

Unless it has a large (>1) power to weight ratio.

> It’s all the yuppies from California that are the cause of the problem

Yuppies may be a piece of the puzzle, but the massive surge in institional home ownership is surely the larger factor (the NIMBY obstruction of home construction is surely a factor too). Which means that it is indeed the billionaires fault, since it is their money backing it.

Noone at Amazon is looking at the id. If they did it would add 'friction'

If it is on its platform, it takes payment, and often provides fulfillment, and shipping. It does indeed sell the items that third parties put on it. See the injury suit from the dog leash, where Amazon was indeed liable.

There are in fact 3 bad guys in this transaction: the manufacturer, the merchant, and amazon. All of them knew or should have known that this is a scam. It isn't the buyers fault that amazon has no humans in the loop. Infinite, perfect scale isn't a right. It's an ideal that amazon is welcome to strive towards within the bounds of the law. Amazon shouldn't kill people with fake safety equipment, nor should they sell fraudulent merchandise.
