grandparent

The point of the grandparent comment is that these buildings are old and in need of expensive maintenance.

If you ordered a shrimp cocktail at Bubba's for your parent or grandparent, these are precious people.

Hmm, It's not uncommon today for grandchildren to be in there 30's when a grandparent dies.

To the grandparent poster: 3000 words is peanuts compared to the kind of reading loads this professor is talking about.

In case someone takes my comment seriously they'd agree with the grandparent so no harm done.

For the same reason the grandparent post reiterated it: the readers downvoting the parent post seem to have missed it.

Why did you feel the need to reiterate the exact quote that the grandparent post quoted?

As there is no scarcity in digital content the situation put forward by the grandparent post isn't really a good analogy.

We are not at this point now, but I'll share my understanding of what the grandparent post meant.

As to the grandparent, that is what asm.js was for, was a subset of JS that could be heavily optimized and JITed...

The grandparent's point was about how annoying trying to find a parking space is.

It seems blindingly obvious what the grandparent's intent was in this context.

"Reasonable discourse" doesn't start with denying that racism exists in the United States, as the grandparent post does.

I think that grandparent meant that CA represents a "smaller" fraction of the area of the US (~4.3%) than it does of the population (~12.1%).

My post was in response to the grandparent who seemed to be saying that the GPL is A-OK to use in proprietary web services because it's only relevant "when you want a licence to redistribute that software (or your derivative version)".

Third, most people actually get more mature with age, and while there are some who mature at a lesser rate than society advances and become the "racist grandparent" trope, I don't think that it's the norm.

Grandparent gives good examples of potentially under-discussed issues.
