Readit NewsMost sources consider animals as separate from humans, so non-animal would mean human. In general poor treatment of animals is considered a lesser offense than one commited against a human, as an illustration of the separation of categories.
All this money can actually go building better roads and other transportation systems into bay area so rent prices can be reduced.
-Built better transit to North Bay.
-Built/Complete Bart circuit around the Bay Area.
-Built HSR to reach exurbs of Gilroy (S), Tracy (E), and Napa (N).
That would have given breathability to the bay area.
This is why Dribbble is still nice and most other places turn to garbage.
HN is a rare exception. It's likely because the subject matter requires a certain degree of intelligence, which tends to negatively correlate with trashiness.
Those aren't "shitty users" those are vile and criminal people doing extremely horrible things and sharing them. Most or many of those people should be, where possible, referred to local authorities for judicial processing. FB can very well ID these offenders. It's not like they don't collect enough information to know who they are.
No sane govt will allow a foreign power to literally be able to shutdown one of their cities on a whim.
I think what the Russian Govt realized is that instead of building nuclear power plants, its going to be more profitable to hold the electric grid of some country hostage, just like the hard profit they make holding Europe hostage with their gas pipelines.
EDIT:
There a lot more issues I have with their idea but that was the one most striking to me.
- How are going to supply electricity during a hurricane ? Most cites are located on the path to some hurricane / cyclone / tornado.
- Coastlines near cities are expensive real estate (not to mention anyone with property there allowing a literal power nuclear plant blocking their view ) - it takes important real estate from ports that are much more useful for docking ships, etc. Its possible to build a separate port far away from the city; but then you have to pay the extra cost of building some extra infrastructure to deal with the ship, at that point its just easier to build your own power plant.
- "Rosatom, in a statement, insisted its plant was 'invulnerable to tsunamis.'"
Really ?? why are they trying to sell dumb electricity when they have the much more valuable technology of invincible ships. How many tsunamis has one of their ships survived exactly ?
Hasn't Gasprom done this [cut supply] in the past but continues to have customers in Europe? If it's cheap enough they will probably have customers.
At my previous company we paid full price for all our software, not realizing that larger companies were able to get 50% discounts. We didn’t have a central system to track everything like our assets, contracts, vendor licenses, and support requests. We even had a seven-figure contract auto-renew for a service we were migrating away from because nobody tracked it. Painful!
We have a unique business model designed to align our interests with customers: we charge $29 per company monthly and a small % on all transactions in our marketplace. This means if we can’t save companies money, we won’t make any.

When technical issues come up, does one get support directly from the vendor; if not, how does that work?
