Google never dropped that phrase btw - it's still in the employee manual.

They just act like they dropped it

Paying full price for a phone that was weak when it released 3 years ago that is also missing most US cell bands and is locked to T-Mobile.

Oh and also the parent company doesn't ship anything to the US, so parts are aftermarket only.

That's not available in the US: that's you can hack together a workaround.

Fairphone should sell phones outside of Europe

Unfortunately neither of us get what we want

Sorry if my previous comment wasn't clear: I was agreeing with you but saying SFH would be more expensive in cities because it would represent lucrative development land and that would be part of the price.

As for the developer / investor incentives: I don't think that's a big issue. Sure some developers who intend to own afterwards will be disincentivized but plenty of people built with the goal of selling immediately, and making it cheaper and easier to build and sell will make those kinds of developers winners in the market.

We'd want robust regulations around building quality (soundproof your goddamn walls and floors) but all the red tape around other homeowners complaining about how big your apartment building is should be dropped.

Anything under 7 stories should be green lit if it meets safety and quality regulation.

This will also massively help cut down on gentrification.

It honestly might bring down the price of single family homes, just not in cities.

One reason the suburbs even exist is that there isn't space in the city for everyone. Many suburban families would rather live downtown but cannot as they do not have the mega millions to own a 3br condo.

YouTube has no competition because nobody can make competition profitable.

The barrier to entry is insurmountable. You have to operate at insane scales to turn a profit and you'd burn literal billions to get there.

I have read Marx. I've also read Gramsci in the original Italian.

My point was just that "Fascism" comes from fascio - the binding of individual sticks together to make a stronger whole.

It's literally "Sticks together strong"

... Doesn't help that it described fascism as well.

I mean that's, like, literally their name

Excellent modernization and the best adaptation we'll likely ever see. Similar in terms of faithfulness as Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings original trilogy adaptations: artistic license taken and content cut out changed but the core is masterfully done.

Get in the closed alpha/beta and play. It's a ton of fun.
