At this point the claim seems to be but I think that some people think it is all about energy, as if your random interpretation of other peoples’ belief is relevant.
They do weapons. They said they do weapons. What’s the problem.

Mostly I think the idea of induced demand should encourage us to increase the availability of transportation in “novel” ways as opposed to just adding more road. You can add more road forever and just get more traffic. If instead you add rail, say, you satisfy demand and avoid a concrete highway hellscape.

It’s the reality currently because your friend’s recommendations are strongly based on what they have been exposed to via Google too — that is, ads.

Trying to understand what you are going for here. In my experience in 2 separate cities, lack of ground floor retail leads to barren neighborhoods of luxury condos that aren’t in walking distance of anything meaningful. And frequently, the ground floor retail that is put in is priced unreasonably so as to stay vacant. But you think that we should encourage everyone to overprice so as to increase the put option value? And you like the idea of vacant space?

The only people we should expect to benefit are existing employees for ~1 year. After that it will be priced in. What an administrative and legislative waste.

I have always used it to mean “solves problems 10x faster” not “produces 10x code”.
The latter would be a bad thing.

One challenge (among many) is simply that many areas limit the number of unrelated people that can live in a house. When I owned a house in a college town in the Midwest many moons ago that number was 3, for instance.
(I have heard that this is sometimes aimed at limiting brothels, though that sounds a bit like an urban legend?)

I think the idea is simply that you can prove authenticity if you have the metadata. You can’t prove authenticity without metadata, nor can you prove “inauthenticity” without metadata.

There’s a guy at my work that sprinkles .. in every reply. It makes him come off as an asshole. (I’m not the only person in my company that thinks so btw).
Recommend you stop, unless you like coming off as an asshole..

Can you elucidate the very, very good reasons (at a high level) or link to somewhere that you feel is authoritative that does?
(I agree that if you don’t say ‘security update’ you may get fewer updates.)
