i've been interested in this issue for a while now

one of my brothers moved from australia to berlin less than two years ago and i always find it amusing when he talks about yuppie scumbag gentrifiers driving the rent up and killing off culture . but at the same time i know he's right

like it stands to reason that there could be a minority of newcomers who are more worthy than the others and who for that matter possibly better grok the zeitgeist than even a minority of the old locals. and my brother's a pretty cool dude (or at the very least he's less of a fuckwit than i am). but then when you start trying to pick and choose who is or isn't "worthy" you end up with some weird abitrary reverse-elitism at best and it's not like anybody is ever going to accuse themself of not belonging. and what the gently caress would i know, i've never even been to berlin, i only know it from some romanticised vision that is probably fairly similar to what attracts the yuppie scumbag gentrifiers in the first place

anyway i don't even care who the gently caress this otter person is and i guess the real lesson to take from this is that nothing good lasts forever, death is certain, hail satan

I think there's also a difference between people who move to an area to live their lives there and people who move to the area because they're asinine scumbags hoovering up venture capital and pissing out the digested excrement on everyone else in the form of inflated housing costs.

We are all the scum by enabling this sort of bullshit and building the machinations that keep it going. The problem will eventually fix itself though - when Google and the other big players' long-term plans mature and make programmers as expensive as roofers and the venture capital will go elsewhere and San Francisco will go back to being a big pretty heroin den fueled by carjackings.

not just inflated housing costs











everyone who is involved in building, marketing, and purchasing these wastes of lumber and conflict minerals should be lined up against a wall

All data from the sensors is beautifully illustrated in the app’s interface. It’s minimal and lovely, with data rendered in tiny moving particles and soothing colors with inviting iconography. Each sensor is represented by a matching floating block on the screen, and the blocks tumble around as you move your phone. As someone who tries to fill her iPhone only with apps that have the most beautiful UIs, I really appreciated the Lapka’s attention to software design

quote:

Still, I think there’s reason enough to be hopeful for the Lapka’s future. The Quantified Self movement has picked up quite a bit of traction thanks to the advent of some cheap, pretty activity trackers after all, so maybe Lapka will able to spearhead a Quantified World movement.

other than humidity and the questionable "emf" sensor, what the gently caress are those even supposed to be detecting? gullibility? credulity? the presence of too much disposable income?

The organic food sensor detects nitrates (so you can tell if your eggplant was grown using SYNTHETIC FERTILIZER ), and the radiation sensor detects gamma particles.

much like the emf sensor i strongly question whether either of those function in any way

not hypothetically, i mean do the sensors detect dick all?

Just because it's been enabled doesn't mean a company will actually view it as being a good idea.
