The real reason behind the disallowing of NSFW is Tumblr positioning itself to be bought by Verizon.

If you came here because my comments about your product/service were harsh don't take it personally. I like to provide as much constructive criticism as possible and I come across as condescending sometimes, hence the username.
I do like it though!
It seems like this is a result of an industry "normalizing." Once something becomes mainstream the quality usually goes down but quantity goes up.
Sure the Concorde was innovative, but the ticket prices were extremely high. In the 80's IIRC a round trip ticket was $1000 from the US to the UK. Adjusting for inflation that's around $3k for a flight.
Taking a quick look....today you can get the same flight from 35 different carriers, little slower of course, but for around $600-1000. As much as people complain about leg room and amenities I think most people care more about price and availability.
My uncle was a taxi driver around the same time (maybe a little earlier?) and was paid a livable wage plus benefits.
>"There are so many drivers available that it's an owner's market," said Edward G. Rogoff, a professor of management at Baruch College who studies the taxi industry. "Drivers are competing for these low-prestige, low-pay jobs, which pushes their incomes down further."
You also missed the main part of the article. Simple stated there were too many taxi drivers. Now I don't know about you but if I were to have that many people willing to work for me its either the pay is good or working conditions.
This sucks because like the article mentions, it becomes an owner's market. On top of this it's also NYC. No taxi driver is gonna be able to afford many of the places they get fares from.
>"In '87, '88, you could make $100 a day, maybe more," said Sam Khan, a 37-year-old driver from Pakistan. But now, he said with a grimace, "maybe $60, $65."
Vue 2->3 won't be so bad because they're promising backwards compatibility.
I kinda like this syntax, when I first learned vuejs I knew immediately that some magic was going on in the background. If I saw marko's syntax I'd be wondering how this shit is getting done. It also makes it easier when searching for issues or suggestions. "vuejs computed property" vs searching generic terms.
>Chat based community
This part is simply not true, there's tons of individual vuejs communities all pretty decent. Shoot me for saying this but laracast isn't a bad option for Vue help. Everytime I have an obscure problem I find a solution on there.
>The reactivity system will only track changes under certain conditions. Don’t expect to throw anything you wish at it
This is the one part I hate about vue.
>Does this mean authentication logic goes in Vuex too? Will a state manager start mediating all application logic now?
Been there done that. I typically use vuejs for lightweight applications solely because I do run into this issue.
Technical debt is to be handled during the development cycle, not in source code and most of the issues you bring up (bloated software, version pinning) are solved in build systems and again should not be handled by source code.
Anyone working in an enterprise enviorment, especially that has clients on different systems, would instantly crumble without being able to target specfic builds.
Legacy and long term support software is everything.
>Go should reject version pinning as incompatible with the goals of Go.
This would instantly make go a 'no-go' in any enterprise enviorment.
"may" lose data on "APFS-formatted" disk images.
In my comment I tried to specifically point out that it was more demeaning than actual racism with some of the statements which are two very different forms of offense.
You mention the whole "PC" thing which is a good area for discussion on this article. Americans (myself included) have this SJW culture around being politically correct and I think it's leading society more towards inherent racism. My old college friends came from all over the world, and we would always joke about the stereotypes of everyone's background. They'd call me 'Murica and I understood where they were coming from, as did they when we had names for each other. Nowadays it's common that someone would be offended if we joked in the same manner, and we're missing the ability to break the ice between our cultures/ethnicities and be friends without perceiving it as prejudice.
>They all ended up in West Virginia, not exactly the America you dream of when you come from Chennai or Bangalore. Probably not even when you come from Biel.
>Since then, their careers haven't really advanced in any significant way
>he looks less like an emissions specialist and more like a South Asian IT expert
...huh
>If you want to use mailx, there is the technically and morally sane option of using a free Unix implementation.
I mean it's really not that hard to release a Windows compatible version. You change a single file name?
This just sounds like throwing gas on the flame war that is unix vs windows.
Sure they know more than anyone that automation is coming, but exactly how soon and far stretching?
The reason services like twitter and snapchat are so dominate is because they're so easy to use and uniform across everything. It's why everyone now prefers slack/discuss to IRC and other legacy channels (among features aswell). Typical users don't have time to research and setup software, they simply just want to use it.
I understand that there's federated signup and all that, but the second you have to explain what any of that means to a user, you've basically lost them.
On the first listed GNU site:
This is the place for you who are tired of private companies controlling your conversations and contacts and selling them for profit.
The fact that its airforce one aswell and they'd likely be practicing different techniques and training pilots.
Taking the lack of air distortion from the behind the engines, it could be because the photo is extremely grained/blurry to begin with and the flaps foiling the air to the ground rather than directly behind the engine.
My only other guess is they were practicing late landings.
Other than that is pretty much novelty like you said.
Content providers are more often than not stationing themselves at your ISP; this means that likely have a node of distribution at your ISP's datacenter or somewhere that openpeers with your ISP.
Who knows, maybe net neutrality isn't the answer we need to keep the internet open/neutral. Regardless of law, large corporations will always have a leg up on distributing their services because of their ability to easily ship out servers to datacenters. ISP's are likely to accommodate certain services over others because of user demand.
I think ISP competitiveness and more open peering contracts are the true solution to what we want, the issue here is local bylaws preventing new ISP's from entering the market (at least in the US). In my small city, we have a single internet provider that's protected by a cable coalition...many of the board members are past employees, family members, or have interest with that ISP. So I think all in all, targeting these local laws is the first step to net neutrality.
I'm not sure about all this yet, just my 2cents.
*fixed spelling
As for the "Representative from California 37" this is your voter sub district or whatever user you selected that was on the map, which brings me to my next point.
Although I think this website is good, it doesn't target any specific users. The immediate information presented to the user such as "Representative from California 37" or popular bills is confusing and I'll make the bet that it scares users away (along with the forced signup if you couldn't find /explore). Instead of a catch all landing page I'd make the /explore more user specific.
Let me paint a picture of how I see this: So you already know where the user is from, when I click "representatives" why aren't I brought to a page with MY representatives, instead I'm brought to a page with a list of people who don't represent me. I should note that the individual representative pages are spot on though I like the collection of twitter, sponsored bills, etc. I think that if people are brought to information about their specific representatives that they are more likely to 'care' about whats happening on this site.
It hasn't.
Although https://github.com/metafizzy is kinda interesting (what this websites UI is based off of)
I just don't see the usability cause I already have multiple messaging/chatroom services.
Its nice though, I like the profile key integration.
Not a single robot call, ever. Honestly I don't even think I've gotten a telemarketer or salesperson either.
On the other hand, if some guy found a major security flaw and posted it all over the internet I bet the car would be remotely driven into a brick wall at 100mph+ with the driver inside.

Okay never thought of that situation, it would be a good training scenario.
