It IS the middle of nowhere when you're talking about tech jobs. How many people live in the city is irrelevant if they don't have jobs for you there.

This is coming soon; there's already companies working on this. It makes the most sense, because once you can grow stuff biologically, for meat you only want the muscle and fat, you don't want the rest, so why bother growing it?

Less knowledgeable and less financially interested? The politicians are the ones who make the ultimate decisions about these projects: whether maintenance will be done (by controlling the budget), whether a replacement will be done, etc.

Maybe we should have a system where we no longer have secret ballots, and instead your votes are recorded, but in an encrypted way so that only a proper impartial investigation board (perhaps at the federal level) can have access to it, in

Not good enough. If some bridge is decades old, I don't think it's fair to expect some firm that is the descendant of whatever firm designed it so long ago to be liable, especially when all the people ever involved in design and

I disagree, however I've modded you up because your opinion is valid even if I think it's wrong and you've said nothing offensive. My viewpoint is far more pessimistic: I think there's a major cultural difference between

"Content-light" is being rather charitable; I was going to say this article is absolutely terrible. It's like they started writing a really interesting article about this lady, then just stopped 1/3 of the way through w

Oh please. Traveling is tiring for most people, especially with TSA and the hectic mess that is airports, and the severe discomfort of modern airplace seating; I don't know many people who really want to fly somewhere on a Friday even

The problem here is that our technological society needs metals to operate. But getting those metals is making a big mess in less-developed places like this, for the benefit of the more-developed places. So, the solution is simple: mine as

It's not just Canada, it's all the developed nations. The US has a horribly complex tax system, while the developed nations do not. It's because of all the credits and deductions for everything. And it's hard to get r

Most of the US population doesn't get very much vacation time from their employer. The problem isn't the cost of airfare (which is a tiny portion of the cost of any vacation compared to hotel, meals, rental car, etc.), the proble

Instead of using all this space and energy to move cars around, it'd make more sense to just have small pods for 1-2 people, and transport the people around from point to point. There's already a project to do just this, called Sk

We already have that: at least 5-10% of the population is naturally born that way now. We try to socialize them out of it, which has some success, but for those who it doesn't, the dumb ones become hardened criminals, and the smart on

The premature-birth thing can be fixed now with artificial wombs: we'll just keep kids in there longer, perhaps 2-4 years. Throw in some genetic engineering and some techniques to rapidly indoctrinate and train these people and we can

Are these stalls typical stalls with a huge gap at the floor so you can see the neighbors as they sit on the pot? Are they actual separate rooms? I've been in a few nice restaurants where the "stalls" were actually separate

Unless those "stalls" are actually separate rooms with locking doors, I don't see how that's legal, in light of repiret's post here citing US code that specifically forbids it. Honestly, I have a hard time seeing su

I agree, but on the face of it it does seem to make sense: there's no shortage of articles now about the "retail implosion", and lots of stores really are closing: Macy's, Sears/Kmart, etc. If a mall's anchor

This has a lot of problems. First, legal problems: you can't have a unisex multi-stall bathroom in the USA. I'm not sure if it's actually illegal (it probably is in many states), but it'll never fly even if it is. Hone

You're missing something important: back in those days, we didn't have to funnel all our wealth to a small number of billionaires (in fact, the term didn't really exist back then). Now, we do. Giving the vast majority of ou

Why is this down-voted? It's 100% correct. The US will not be part of anything that involves climate science at this time. We should be looking to China to lead the world in many things in the coming years. The US has shot itself in

On big, big, big advantage here is that, unlike Mars for instance, robots on the Moon are literally 1.5 seconds away (3 seconds round-trip), as far as radio communications go. Remote-control in real-time isn't that hard. You'll
