even if att puts it on the nimby's lawn they still have to cross or build onto the sidewalk to get to the street or telephone poles, and that requires permitting to prevent poo poo like cutting gas mains. it's the permitting and public-use licensing that att wants given away for free, and exemption from inspections

i don't see the problem with this it looks like every other power box/distribution thingy everywhere, just that it's in a dense city so they put it on the sidewalk instead of the back corner of someone's yard or whatever there is one of those around the corner from my house, looks exactly like that, and it doesn't "block street parking." i park beside it all the time because no one likes to.

yeah the boxes are pretty much the same here in  and nobody seems that bothered. they're slightly smaller but they don't really get in the way of anything.

but you see if they bring real broadband to sf that will drive all the olds out of their homes instead of the massive shortage of new housing which they should build in sf as long as it's not on their street or neighborhood or blocking their view of the industrial wasteland of reclaimed shipyards tldr because reasons also gently caress nimbys

The Management posted:good news everyone, google is creating another messaging client for android I can't understand how Google can be so supremely incompetent at times. Gmail hasn't evolved in donkey's years, and now they're just changing the front end a bit with Inbox and calling it a day. I had a plane ticket confirmation and despite Inbox showing me a "card" with all the flight info on it, there was no way to put this card in my (Google) calendar. Similarly, when I tried to update a contact's information it took about 5 minutes because apparently Inbox/Gmail doesn't have the same "person" as my phone does, so there are actually 4 entries for the same person, with some information duplicated but most only in one of the cards... Calendar and Contacts are a mess too, but that's because they're not "sexy" so nobody at Mountain View cares about them. G+ was, well.. Just me-to-ism that didn't have any real purpose. Some of the features were pretty nice (having distinct groups of contacts you could share easily with and what ended up being Google Photos), but at the heart it was just crippled by Google's inability to look at Contacts and make it a coherent product. After a while they made Hangouts which is a nice "all-in-one messaging app", and it actually looked/sounded like it was going to be great when they integrated SMS... Then it seems the powers that be decided it wasn't hip enough and now it's increasingly shoddy (it separated by SMS discussions by phone number, so I have 3 discussions with one person who has 2 phones since we also sometimes use hangouts from a computer). Allo sounds like a decent proof-of-concept app that's not ready for prime time and is just a "test". Like Wave (IMO one of the most interesting things Google did in a long while) it'll die if it's left to live alone, because nobody will change to using Allo unless everybody does. They should be using the app as a way to see what features work well, make frequent changes with a small user base and so forth, and once it's ready fold it into Hangouts or some kind of "general" messaging platform. Duo... Well, I don't use video calling, and I can't really remember anybody I know using unless they're at home or doing a kind of one-off test of a new feature. Since both people need to have the app, it's pretty much a non-starter since most people that use video calling for 1-on-1 situations already has Skype (which works fine)... Again, as a test of a new technology I can understand having a standalone app before rolling it into Hangouts, but if they're expecting 1 billion Duo users they're on crack. At best Duo will give us some sad stories of people being exposed to the caller's junk before they pick up the call. FFS Google. Messaging is probably as important as web on smartphones, and the best you have to offer is either something that doesn't do anything but SMS/MMS (Messenger), something that has 0 users (Allo) or a "platform" that doesn't have any external APIs/integration with third party messaging platforms and is broken by SMS/MMS (Hangouts)...

It's so funny though when Google so desperately wants to be like Apple, but I can't imagine Jobs letting half as much unfinished stuff be released. I changed phone (Android to Android) recently, and I had to do a whole song and dance just to transfer my SMS messages (not the same size SIM card), which I found hilarious given that seemed to be so obviously something that would have been foreseen and integrated into the basic app, or managed through a cloud transfer/record-keeping system.
