Even with undocumented migrants, population density in most U.S. cities is still nowhere near the high-rise apartment density you see in Japan or Korea.

In fact I think Comcast should be broken up by region and/or forced to upgrade their networks to at least South Korea levels.
That's fine if you agree to upgrade the urban population density to at least South Korea networks.
See, the book is only $5, but the ending is another $5
I can think of a couple fantasy authors with R. R. in their name who have followed that model.
In northeast Indiana, Super NES games typically went for $60 new, and PlayStation games were $50 because the disc was cheaper to replicate. Those who stuck with Nintendo saw a price cut between the Nintendo 64 ($60-$70) and the GameCube ($50) and then another price hike with the Wii U ($60). If you're looking for reliable sources to add to (say) a Wikipedia article, you can put something like super nes game msrp into a search engine and find things like "Why 1990s SNES Games Were so Damn Expensive" by Luke Plunkett.
In the Super NES era, you likely had to share a monitor with other members of the family who wanted to watch broadcast or cable television. Because you got only about an hour per day with the TV, those same 10 to 12 hours stretched over several days. Besides, it was common to repeat those 10 to 12 hours for a better overall score. This is how speedrunners got good enough to complete all 101 goals in Donkey Kong Country in 50 minutes (source: YouTube).
Doesn't need to be, but you have to stand in line behind the pedophiles, polygamists, and instinctual relationships, they were there first. Of course, now that homosexuals can marry, I suspect the redefinition will start happening quite regularly. Bestiality will get its turn.
I'd mod this up if I could. And I'd suggest it also applies in not only mental realms, but also the physical, and could well be an explanation for why NO women were able to pass the special forces exams for the military.
It only looks like satire or stupidity to the ignorant. It is, sadly, 100% correct, even if politically incorrect and decidedly chauvinist, it is what occurred in pre history when the division of labor was handed out.
Unlike the Super Bowl, the NCAA College Football Championship Game is on cable. Source
A much better analogy would be watching other people play board games.
In certain circles, chess and poker have become spectator sports.
Also, we're talking "let's plays" here. There's no "skilled play" involved. It's an idiot with a camera playing a game poorly while making dumb jokes. It's dumb, it's pointless, and it's copyright infringement. Just ask Nintendo.
This is why e-sports won't take off, as the publisher has power to shut down any league competing with the publisher's approved league.
Now we're getting "day one DLC." What the fuck?
In the Super NES era, games used to cost $60, which is about $90-something in today's money after inflation. Now in the Xbox 360 and Xbox One era, games still cost $60. Day one expansions make the extra $30 of content optional to buy.
Why the hell would anyone per-order a digital game, where there's no chance it'll sell out and they won't be able to get a copy?
Because they can't afford an Internet connection that'll transfer 30 GB in one hour. So instead, they let Steam download the game over the preorder period and then install it on release day.
Why are people sitting around watching OTHER PEOPLE play games that they themselves could be playing?
Lack of skill, lack of strong enough PC, lack of the correct console, game being out of print, etc. Why do people watch football instead of playing football?
You can't use jQuery without knowing ECMAScript, but you can use it without knowing W3C-standard DOM API. This technically means you can use it without knowing JavaScript, so long as you define JavaScript as the sum of ECMAScript and DOM API. I'm assuming that the so-called guru implicitly defines it as such.
Without JavaScript, how would you prefer that Internet-connected interactive applications be deployed to users of PCs that run an operating system different from yours?
If you are developing an app that hyperar believes "should not be on the web", then how should you reach users of Windows without "writ[ing] code for Windows"? In all but the most niche cases, charging $700 for the app and shipping a free Mac mini with it is out of the question.
[Raw JavaScript] is good, it is fast, and there are VERY TINY inconsistencies between browsers, even old IEs, unless it is DOM-crap or stuff relating to inputs and CSS rules. Everything else is FINE.
Except that's exactly why people use jQuery: to ensure that "DOM-crap or stuff relating to inputs" works for all viewers.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
