Sony would have passed because of iTunes, Sony isn't going to sell hardware that plays songs from Sony Music and pays Apple as the middle man.

This is awesome! You should seriously add PHP. Our community is probably the largest and has many inexperienced programmers who would really benefit from Codewars.

I'm in the advocacy space and you aren't collecting enough information to deliver the emails to Congress, the web forms require many other pieces of information like a title (Mr./Mrs. etc) and often a phone number. Better to take off the email option than mislead the public that it will be delivered.

Landlords don't care but the neighbors and the city might

They aren't a natural monopoly-- in the U.S. telecom and video cable (cable internet) are heavily regulated government-granted monopolies. Most U.S. local governments, for example, provide for only one or two cable providers.

“Natural monopoly” doesn't mean what you think it means: it's simply a case where the most efficient setup is a single provider. Telecoms fit this category locally because of the need for cabling to each customer – sure, you can run multiple wires but that's extremely expensive and has externalities (i.e. aesthetic costs).

Regulation is a common response to a natural monopoly: cap profits at a certain level to prevent gouging and establish some sort of minimum service requirement to avoid abuse.

What I would prefer is a hybrid model where the city runs the monopoly portion and leases access to various companies. The political process at least offers more accountability than, say, the typical Comcast monopoly victim enjoys.

Bounty hunting has been around forever and is a very dynamic and effective part of the law enforcement system.

GoDaddy actively pushed terrible SOPA legislation http://godaddyboycott.org/

Their past ad campaigns have been very trashy and sexist as well.

Their pricing is higher than other registrars, unless you play their discount/coupon games.

Actually most advanced societies are not producing enough children to keep the population stable.

But they're importing enough immigrants to more than make up the difference.

Which is a very good thing.

Is it? Advanced society's dying off isn't something people usual celebrate.

Nobody said dying off, but it's a well-understood fact that humanity is growing at an unsustainable rate.

Good. There are too many people as it is. Running the birthrate at below replacement levels for a few generations is the only humane way to address that.

Yeah it is just a tricked out mobile home.

Actually, no, it's not just a tricked out mobile home. Apart from size, it's constructed like most regular homes, but even higher quality. Most tiny houses are built using stick framing, same as regular houses, with 6" exterior walls and lots of insulation (higher insulation level than most regular homes), have level of interior trim that is similar to but usually better than regular homes. Also most tiny houses are built so at least part of structure has very high ceilings, 11 to 12 feet, which greatly adds to feeling of spaciousness. Tiny homes cost much more per square foot than regular size homes, but of course are much cheaper overall. Even though they're usually built on wheeled trailers and can be moved, they're not built for constant moving.

In short, tiny homes are built to "feel" like a regular home, even though much smaller. Mobile homes, in contrast, are not, generally feel cheap and light, much different experience.
