Sure they can be beautiful but they shouldn't need to be. The aversion people feel about new pylons is not based on asthetics but irrational fear.

In a sense you are spending it on yourself. Because providing for your children makes you feel better. Wealth gives you the freedom to make that choice. Another person may decide to buy a massive yacht instead. Perhaps a better question

And even with a breakthrough that new technology may just make multi stage rockets better. Instead of SSTO spacex just get to launch more payload or fuel.

I would love something that could use audio to diagnose problems in bikes. Issues can be hard to replicate on a repair stand when the bike is not under load.

For evolution to happen a trait needs to effect reproductive success. Diseases that hit later in life will only have a minimal effect. Your kids are already grown by the time you get cancer and probably having children of their own. There

Maybe ETL tools could be a good next step (like FME). You get really high quality input and output drivers. Functional tools for basic data tasks. The data can be easily explored at any stage. And you can drop in regexp or python where

Most pilots are probably not going to land you on the Hudson either. A computer designed to perform emergency landings may actually do better. It can instantly decide if a high bank angle turn will work. It can carry mapping data to iden

I think the argument is that native people have lived in that way for thousands of years and reached a state of equilibrium with nature. It is definitely more complex than just looking at individual events. It is not better or worse neces

Those kind of storys are not written seriously and tend to be a bit satirical. They are mocking the "boffins" who do this kind of research. They don't expect the reader to believe a word of it.

It is a bit sad from a historic perspective to lose airfields to development. But the opportunity they provide for development has been invaluable. They have played host to science parks, wind/solar farms, particle accelerators, nucl

Exactly. They act like their responsibility is to dispatch one instance of an item. When actually it is to deliver one instance of an item. Sometimes that means they have to dispatch the item twice and that is not the customers problem.

It is just good design. But that includes a lot of things that cross traditional discipline boundaries. So there is a large communication overhead between different teams.

No it doesn't, false dichotomy. Addiction can coexist with socialising, see pubs for evidence of that. Also, the instincts that drive us to be sociable may also make aspects of social networks enticing. In the same way that desire f
