That's only cause UI scaling sucks on Windows and linux. On MacOS, a 4k monitor works great.

Even if that's true, that's only like ~50k people lol.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you can make pulls from coinable wallets provided you have enough money in there.

Yeah but that goes against their "press a button for a taxi" philosophy.

I just graduated from Georgia Tech with a BS in Computer Science. I've dabbled in computer vision research, mobile development, game development and web development. I'm looking for a permanent or temporary job in the US or Canada.

Yes in most cases it applies to all US residents. But many don't apply to non-residents who still live in the US. For Eg: international students.

What do the lines mean?
Even if it starts stagnating it will pass the US in total GDP. China has 10x the population of Japan. Not that it matters. The average Chinese will still be a lot poorer than the average American.
We're already a zombie...

Re:It Is Time For Basic Income on Saturday March 22, 2014 @04:16PM (#7450684)
I think the difference is it may be more expensive to live in a city but may still make sense because of the availability of jobs and higher income. With basic income the income aspect of choosing a place to live is weakened.

you'll still need electricity for your laptop, microwave, fridge etc.
> considering that land (and property) is more or less in fixed supply, SF could justifiably implement price/rent controls.

> Supply can be increased pretty easily

First you say supply can't be increased. Then you say it can. No it's not Google's fault there is not enough supply. It's bad zoning laws that limit the number and size of buildings. And rent control that makes building less profitable.

Houston and Austin get a way bigger influx of people and even money (for Houston at least) than San Francisco but they don't have these problems.

Yeah sure but that doesn't give you the right to say, slap the kid. You have to go through formal channels like talking to his/her parents.

New people people coming in to a city have to learn to live in that city. But the opposite is equally true. The people in the city will have to learn to live with those new people. You don't get extra privileges for 'being there first'

It's not 4G though... If you want 4G, it's at least $50, $60 or more for more data.

Many countries don't have net-neutrality laws (I grew up in one of them) and the internet still works just fine. I don't know if net-neutrality is good or bad for smaller reasons like bandwidth and prices but I know for sure it's not the only thing keeping the internet alive.
Bitcoin?
