>> [EU citizens] have lived here more than long enough to become citizens and not chosen to do so.

Woa. Hang on a minute. Why do I have to become a UK citizen in order to be able to partake in the decisions that directly affect my life?

I've lived here for over a decade now. I studied here, I work here, I pay taxes, I pay contributions to the NHS. Why does it make any difference whether I'm a UK citizen or not?

In fact, the only difference between myself with British citizenship and myself without, is ... whether I have the British citizenship or not.

And yet that difference determines whether I can vote or not. How does that make any sense? It's exactly as reasonable as granting the right to vote to only men, or only Christians, or something completely unacceptable like that.

I live in this country that wants to call itself democratic. Like, it just made a point of how it loves democracy so much it's willing to jump off a cliff singing God Save the Queen because it didn't think it had enough democracy.

So how is it all so democratic that a few million active, productive people living here don't get to have a say in their own affairs?
I'm confused. What does this have to do with anime/why is this called anime?
Trollies. They leave the roads open for other forms of transportation. They can be made to move slow enough that people can embark/disembark while it's in motion. Some level of automation can allow them to realize they're full and skip stops unless requested by a passenger. Hell, you could put a button or offer a phone app so people can request it to stop at a particular stop instead of flagging it down like a bus.

Automation is easy, they follow tracks. Put them on various, intersecting loops. They could probably be more self-contained, rather than using the grid constantly. If personal vehicles are banned, you only have to contend with pedestrians, cyclists, emergency, maintenance, and perhaps delivery vehicles.

Nobody's forced to live in apartments that aren't up to code either, but that doesn't mean that we allow slumlords to squat on what could otherwise be useful real estate.

Due to the very limited amount of rental space, and the difficulty of constructing more of it, rentals are a heavily regulated market. If you don't want to deal with regulation, perhaps you should pick a line of business with a lower barrier for entry.

Wouldn't the actual address bar be the address bar of the Internet?
The metered/non-metered distinction is reasonable, and the behavior that results from it defensible, but the assumption that wired (Ethernet) LAN connections are unmetered is absolutely indefensible, for a number of reasons:

1) Wired WAN connections are, in fact, quite often quota-limited (perhaps with a generous cap, but still limited).

2) A Wired LAN connection may backed by a wireless WAN connection.

Failing to replicate corrupt data is the point. By delivering the corrupt data to user space, it proliferates into backups. And since it's common practice, even if suboptimal, to conflate archive and backup and rotate those media, it's just a matter of time before all backups have a corrupt copy of the file.
I have to think that the people who voted for the Brexit are kind of happy about this in a way. If they got the big bankers this angry they must have done something right.

Ok here we go again nobody is allowed to make any money and everything is unfair and capitalism is bad and so on.

In practice if an apartment makes money by way of this "kickback" it also offsets the rent that they have to charge the tenants of that building. Similar to airlines, assuming that if one charge is reduced or eliminated it won't show up in another area (baggage fees) or in the case of a building reduced maintenance or services doesn't take into account how real businesses operate. There is nothing wrong with a business making money and in fact a business that is profitable is also good for it's customers. A business that loses money is not. The "peanut gallery" (people who write blog posts and comment on this but don't actually even own their own business) aren't in a good position to know all the ins and outs.

That said, sure some businesses rip people off (if you want to call it that) but don't assume that is the default case.

Edit: Perhaps this attorney (at Harvard no less) could write an article about the 'legal tax' on society as a result of lack of competition in the legal market. The cost to consumers for that (since it's passed along in product costs) is almost certainly way greater than whatever the 'vig' is for higher priced cable television or internet service.
Here's the most important lesson...

This kind of starving crowd is rare and you should expecting it to be rare. That's why people are willing to pay you millions of dollars if you find one.

If you find a truly hot market, it can be worth billions and most any idiot can make a lot of money in a hot market. If you are good, all the better.

But remember, it's rare and hard to find. Assume that 99.5% of all businesses aren't in that kind of market situation.

To be honest I am not convinced the current volatility is 100% Brexit related. If it was, the S&P would have barely moved, I don't think anyone seriously suggests Brexit will affect the US economy.

I think the market volatility is way over-done, and reflect more the general nervousness with global and US economic growth rather than the direct consequences of Brexit. Brexit is more of a trigger like a terrorist attack would be.

People who give startup founders advice sometimes say things like "Don't limit yourself. Think big. Try to solve a really hard problem that no one has tackled before." That advice is relevant here.

Don't think about how to create new cities. That problem has been solved many times already.

Instead, think about how to create new planets. If you do a good job, the cities will take care of themselves.

> I would absolutely say these things face to face

There's no reading of the HN guidelines by which the claim 'no really, I would be that rude to someone's face' makes it ok to post what you posted. I often hear this from people who think they've found a loophole in the civility rule. But obviously there's no such loophole. 'Don't say things you wouldn't say in person' is there as an example of incivility, not as a limit outside which hey it's ok.

Besides, I believe better of you than that you'd really tell someone to their face that they're an "engineer detached from emotion and any sense of duty towards other people" or the other horrible things you said. Keep in mind that you're talking about real humans here. The anonymous internet makes it easy to feel like you're simply slamming the Man in the service of righteousness. But that's what everyone who's being uncivil always feels, and none of us has the right to indulge it here.

Firings in ways that reduce the options available to the fired employee are actually quite common practice. They just don't reduce it this much, which would have a lot of the obnoxious MBA types who take over middle-aged companies licking their chops.

My spouse worked 13 years at what was a startup-with-traction when she started there. Last year, they were bought out (public-to-private by a hedge fund). A week later, she was sent packing, along with a lot of the "old-timers". That's not even getting out of options (although there was some of that). That's a simple purge. Purges happen.

When you ask employees to commit to ten years to get anything equity-wise, you're exposing them to tremendous risk. You're hampering their careers. You're exposing them to the risk that you'll take a down round three years down the road and their options will get diluted into near-worthlessness. You're exposing them to the risk that your business will be wiped out by a competitor, or put on the road to obsolescence by technical advances and market trends.

For a 50% bump? Screw that.
The point about transit to other big cities is another interesting possibility, and I could imagine that as a path to bootstrap a city's own economy. If this hypothetical new city was ~30 min from somewhere like downtown SF or the Google campus via a high speed rail (admittedly a huge "if", given the poor track record of getting high speed rail or really any new rails built in the US in a reasonable timeframe), I think you could get a lot of people to move there for cheaper housing and commute to work. Then you could (somewhat simultaneously) get restauarants, bars, grocery stores, a hardware store, etc. to open in the new city to serve the new residents.

Once there are a lot of people living there (and, importantly, the area is widely accepted as cool and up-and-coming), startups and other companies would have incentives to move there or open offices there.

This basic process seems to have played out in places like downtown Oakland and in DUMBO and Greenpoint in Brooklyn in recent years. But Brooklyn and Oakland both have their own rich histories and existing neighborhoods and economies, which keeps them from evolving quickly, and big changes can cause big problems like gentrification.

It's definitely a moonshot idea but I can imagine this process being even more successful, and avoiding some of the biggest drawbacks, in a new city.

It's still extremely buggy. Very difficult to get a .NET MVC app up and running (they're not using the term WebAPI anymore).
Decorators aren't in EcmaScript yet. And the ES standard changed since they were implemented in TS (I honestly don't know if TS changed to accomodate or if they're just mismatched now).

TS sure as hell has something called "enum", which is NOT the same as their string literal types (those are good).

I disagree about the privates: closures are perfectly good functional ways of handling them, and if you didn't want that, we have symbols now to do it for "real". And privates aren't terrible. Protected however are OOP bullshit.

Though my primary point isn't in how its features are implemented: it's how they're advertised. That, to me, is what makes TypeScript "a C# for the web". It's implementation isn't terrible, especially if you stick to the "good parts". However, the "good parts" they advertise/encourages are javascript "bad parts.

> That is why the global order is being railed against in developed countries while workers in developing nations are happy enough to be living considerably better than their parents or grandparents ever did.

I don't think this is the cause. I think the real cause is that people in developed countries see how unfair their societies have become - it's not the problem that the incredibly poor Chinese are getting (slightly) richer instead of them, but that the local warlords, banklords and politilords are getting much, much richer while the people themselves grow poorer.
