Someone once made the same point about fitness, you used to have to roll down your windows manually, but now its automatic. More and more muscle functions being eliminated by automation. Add them all up and it makes a difference.

That's a bit of a reduction. More like 'Any neighborhood in a world class city with a reputation ...' Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Kansas City could develop cool areas, but probably won't be overrun by AirBnB tourists.

I wonder if the case would have played out differently if Silk Road hadn't coincided with the rise of synthetic drugs.

Not sure if it causes cancer or not, but this is like a security hole in the scientific process (ie mostly only the company that produces X will fund studies of X). It's interesting to think security holes more generally - Nick Szabo

I think you have to be a regular somewhere (gym, your kid's soccer games, dogpark, neighborhood bar, etc), people generally won't warm up to you until they've seen you a few times. Of course we've made it really easy to

I guess you start the movie on Netflix and mute it, and then read the subtitles taken from 'Open Subtitles DB' The UI using a list is a bit jarring, I would prefer a smooth scoll, like a very large page scolling down, not a listb
