A small district is also going to be incentivized to spend those resources more wisely. And even large districts with the best intentions end up choked by bureaucracy. Better to have many small districts than a few big ones IMO. EDIT: When

Surely somewhere in the midwest would be more geologically stable and have plenty of access to water. Not sure the proximity to Silicon Valley makes any difference. It's not like factory workers are going to commute from California t

This is being a bit too generous. If that were the case, they could provide a warning about print quality instead of just saying that the toner is low. But then people wouldn't be as compelled to needlessly buy more overpriced printer

Yeah, anecdotally I order pizza online all the time and it has been years since I've ordered from Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, or Dominos. By far the most popular pizza in my state comes from a local gas station chain, Casey's. And th

The market decided that emissions and safety were particularly important. But it never decided that simplicity and repairability weren't important. Turns out there was just more money to be made by slowly eroding those qualities. The

I don't think privacy has anything to do with it. Google Maps doesn't need to capture any user data to implement OP's suggestion. Google Calendar just needs to render a map with a set of locations marked on it using Google Ma

That's all well and good but whatever the rationale it still makes code unnecessarily hard to read. A := B; X := Y(Z); Is B a variable name or a function call? Is Y a function or an array? Is Z itself a function call? There is

I would actually really love Ada if it weren't for a couple extremely frustrating syntax decisions: using parentheses for both call arguments and array subscripts, and making parentheses optional for calls with no arguments. Those two

Yeah I tried switching to OsmAnd for a while. It works fine as a map. Interface is a little clunky. The real problem is I mostly use Google Maps to search for places and OsmAnd was terrible for that. I reluctantly switched back to Google Ma

IMO, the first rule of Excel should be: never let it become part of any official processes. I love Excel for what it can do. I hate Excel for what people do with it. It's a true jack-of-all-trades application that often gets used when

I'd be shocked if the original names were engineering decisions. Seems blatently obvious that marketing just re-badged the 4070 at the last minute and it backfired.

When I was in high school a little over a decade ago, my school told us to use an academic search engine that they payed for access to. It was actually pretty neat. I'm surprised that hasn't become more ubiquitous.
