I don't like what ClearView is doing, but is there a legal difference between that and what archive.org does? Maybe because ClearView then sells/profits from what it scrapes?

"Facebook is planning 1,500 apartments, and has agreed with Menlo Park to offer 225 of them at below-market rates."
Oh Facebook has agreed to? That's nice of them.
Menlo Park requires new residential developments of that side to reserve at least 15% of new units for below-market rates. Guess what 15% of 1,500 is?

much of SF believes the rest of the world revolves around their epicenter. The idea that people would not know what "The mission" was probably would not even dawn on people like story author.
If you asked somebody in IOWA where "The Tenderloin" was, they would understandably think you were talking about meat.
Yes, because the entire population of THE MISSION got together to proof the article.
That article was posted on "Curbed San Francisco," at https://sf.curbed.com/.../. If you really want to complain about this, shift your ire to whomever submitted it to Slashdot. They should have provided the additional context because no additional context was necessary in the article itself.

If you're going to cause panic with statistics, at least get your millions/billions straight:
"Natural disasters in the United States cost more than $300 million last year, far surpassing the previous record of $214.8 billion set in 2005, NOAA said Monday."
Submission + - Airlines With the Best In-Flight WiFi (latimes.com)
An anonymous reader writes: In the heated competition between airlines in the U.S., JetBlue Airways offers an extra perk that is pretty alluring to most travelers: Free, high-speed wireless internet. For that reason, an internet comparison site named JetBlue as the top domestic airline for overall WiFi service, followed by rivals Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Virgin America. The ranking by Highspeedinternet.com considered not only the speed of the connection but the cost and the availability on every plane. JetBlue won the top spot because the New York-based carrier offers free WiFi with speeds of 15 megabits per second on 78% of its fleet, according to the ranking. Southwest Airlines ranked second because it offers WiFi at speeds of up to 10 Mbps for $8 per flight on 90% of its fleet.
If you want to be assured to have WiFi on your next flight, Virgin America is the only domestic carrier that offers internet connections on 100% of its fleet, for a price of up to $25, depending on the length of the flight. Virgin America's WiFi speed is 15 Mbps, which is considered fast enough to stream movies and television shows. Don't care about connecting to the internet? Frontier, Hawaiian and Spirit Airways are the only three major U.S. carriers that offer no onboard WiFi at all, according to the ranking.
