> compete in grocery with the real giants in Walmart
In my area Walmart is on Instacart and I've often wondered how that squares with their own delivery service.

In my area Walmart is on Instacart and I've often wondered how that squares with their own delivery service.
Yes. Instacart has low cost retailers like Walmart and Aldi in many areas, and their prices are generally better than Amazon groceries. Now Walmart does also have their own service, so technically you can do that, but then you're limited to just them.
Apple didn't fully stop selling Intel macs until June 2023. And they compare against the most recent previous model too.
Well, yes, but his name also rhymes with "separation", and that's kind of important.
FWIW this is a myth.
Please, there's no value in speculation. If they want to answer, they can.

Houston is a great example of many things, but being a good place to live isn't one of them. Most of it is a depressed concrete wasteland of sprawling blight and freeway lanes far from any natural beauty with weather that causes people to stay indoors most of the time. I lived there for 20 years and have family there and you could not pay me enough to move back. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/houston-li... https://secrethouston.com/houston-unhappiest-cities-us/
Paris in the middle of a riot is a far better place to live than Houston.

The birth rate in Houston has been steadily declining for a long time and is well below replacement. https://kinder.rice.edu/research/declining-fertility-greater...
Density is not the thing making the prices go up. Local supply lagging behind local demand is what does that. Your two choices are either build more or make living there less desirable compared to somewhere else. There's no third choice.
> nice cities just a couple of hours from them have housing that is essentially free
If nobody wants to live there then tautologically people have decided that they aren't nice.
Anyway, nobody who has ever been to a major French city believes that they've tried to increase core density. They famously have building height restrictions all over the place. Pretty much the entire city of Paris caps out at 7 stories.
Here's from the very final conclusion:
> "Alaniz conducted that search ... because he saw her license plate was from California. That search was not supported by probable cause, and it was done without a warrant in violation of Kyle’s Fourth Amendment rights."
And here's from earlier in the document:
> "In the Court’s view, Alaniz did not have enough information to reasonably believe that Kyle was engaged in unlawful conduct"
The court wouldn't be talking that way if the problem were the data collection and not the circumstance of the stop.
I agree it is in the realm of possibility. It's just not the thing that has happened here.
Please fix this wrong title. The judge ruled that searching the data without a warrant or probable cause violated the fourth amendment. It's wrong to say that the problem was the cameras and not the warrantless use of the data.
Literally in the tweet: "police violated the Fourth Amendment by searching [ALPR data] without a warrant"
You might think that if you didn't know about the breadth of cassette players, but you'd be wrong on the technical merits, because cassette players existed that did not have those buttons (and also those buttons predate cassette players).
Describing your love of a certain kind of button as a love of things that play cassettes is a misattribution. If you had said "I like the audio cassette players that have those kinds of buttons because those buttons are amazing" you'd have hit the truth encased in the trappings of your nostalgia.

You can just not do that.
5 years of broken promises and actively fighting to make the world worse will do a lot to opinions.
What a weird thing to say. Do you always stick so hard to assumptions about people that are diametrically wrong instead of asking or listening to what they say, or is this a new thing? I guess now we've found your great moral failing too. :/
My greatest moral failing is pressing done before I'm done.
> why archiving is important
Unfortunate things happen all the time. We'll need to find new ways to archive.
I'm on the side of being extremely pessimistic about the future viability of making software for a living. This thread is not a moral statement, just an observation and prediction.
Eh. That makes no difference to the progression I'm talking about here. The internet is _already_ click-on-demand so to speak[0]. Software is mostly not yet. But it will soon also be.
