That is just stupid. Solving the mobility problem should start with stopping the need to mobile. Most people. People who are IP addresses should be able to work from home.
High Street Shops are not necessary and should close.
It is baffling how people agreed to be captivated in Facebook eco system.
Now they'll start sniffing what's going out people's rectum and customise the ads.
Using Facebook/Whatsapp is like asking for dictatorship.
Corporates responsibility is making money, for their investors. They're not charity. No one is forcing these homeless people to live in SF. They can move to Gary or Detroit and have affordable, perhaps free housing.
p.s. having a tech city is stupid, we're all IP addresses, we do we need to be physically present in a specific location 9-5 if we can produce the same work from Mars...
Levels 1-3 are dangerous. It encourages drivers to be distracted, perhaps making the situation worst.
Level 5 is nearly impossible with silicone.
Level 4 is the only viable option.
All people care about is the ability to do something else while travelling other than driving.
Computers speak voltage, not binary. Come on. Do you write software using binary ?
Technology speaks English.
In theory, you can invent the wheel and use Arabic for programming. Good luck finding resources and finding users who are willing to use your new programming language that uses Arabic alphabet and use your Arabic javadoc.
Using multiple languages to achieve the same goal is stupid. Pure overhead. English dominates the world, end of story.
So my original comment was flagged, possible by many sharia clerics floating around here. It was deleted.
All I've said: "Nothing with importance is being produced in Arabic, especially in the last 1.4 years".
Is this forum now abides Strict Sharia law ?
f that. I thought hackernews readers are intelligent in average. clearly I was wrong.
Nonsense. Arabic is Arabic. It is not convoluted. It is sophisticated and powerful.
You are mixing dialicts with languages. Go to rural -middle of nowhere- villages in Scotland. Good luck understanding a single word.
Those "muslim" scholars were mostly not arab,, and were constantly being accused for heresy.
It is smart people that produce science and not Islam.
The only science Islam has produced is the magical benefits of drinking camel urine and Hijama.
No thanks.
Arabic, among many other languages is on a low profile simply because no science is produced in these languages. English won the game because bits and bytes were invented in English.
Arabic is indeed a great and very rich language, perhaps more than English, unfortunately, nothing with importance is being produced in Arabic, especially in the last 1.4k years.
Don't think Egypt has any media. However, it does have powerful propaganda machines. This law must be part of the propaganda machine, so they can revoke any "media" that doesn't align with Mubarak v2.0 (CC). The people sitting in the Egyptian parliament (does it exist), must have non-positive IQ. It is impossible to enforce law. Register the accounts outside Egypt, or move the hosting oversees, problem solved.
I am an ip address who would be happy to work remotely from Mars if possible. Dragging people into offices when all they do is sending and receiving IP packets is inefficient, damaging and stupid.
It's the decentralised/distributed bit rather than the protocol.
That way Ted Cruz and even Bernie Sanders would have an equal access to materials, and individuals would more informed that everything they type on their keyboard is there to stay.
So from now and on, it's called g-mail, and not e-mail, and they are not compatible.
Also this seems to be a stupid idea, as who'd believe self-destructing or expiring emails would actually be ever deleted from g-servers...
