From the article, it sounded like their is no continuous demand [1], so business might not survive until the next large order. Of course it could also be a threat to gain subsidies, new orders or higher prices. [1] "[..] start-and-sto

I agree on the global variables. At least you can define functions in blocks of the same notebook file. e.g. [1] a = 2 [2] def square(x): return a 2 print square(a) > 4 [3] b = 5 print square(b) > 25 This is somethi

Correct, but do student need thousands of books. Maybe 20-30 per year?

Western textbooks, especially those which are mandatory to get for certain college classes are expensive, but that’s because of the IP and the small market. Best selling paperback books are already much cheaper per page. If you don’t take c

Very interesting information. Thank you. What would you say is the typical efficiency of a modern gasoline car? Say, one that uses 7L/100km on average? Also, why do the coal plants with higher efficiency so expensive? I've read so

I do not agree with your first sentences. You can work hard without being insane. In fact you can decide to work very hard based on reason. 'Teach Yourself Stoicism and the Art of Happiness' by Donald J. Robertson is a great intro

I might be wrong, but I think leases typically run for at least two years, whereas this apparently can be canceled on a monthly base.

The article mentions a connection to obesity. "To what degree would a shift in the food system contribute to that? We can't really say.” I really wonder if this already a part of the worldwide obesity crisis. More carbs/nutri

Several comments here blame profits of the military-industrial complex as motivation for these arm exports, yet these weapons are produced in former USSR countries not in the US. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned here yet,

Well, thats how he makes a living. If it wasn't for his free solos, Alex Honnold would most likely not be able to be a professional climber. For those who pay him (sponsors, magazines) its an ethical dilemma for sure. Cliff Bar for in

No, climbing without a rope is the purest form of the sport and has been around for longer than nylon ropes and harnesses. I don't know much about F1 races but I guess say a fairer comparison would be doing time trials alone on the tra

For BASE jumping, many start with sky diving or jumping from relatively easy exits like bridges. Most free solo climbers climb with a rope for the majority of their climbs, although exceptions like Paul Preuss exist. They often rehearse fre

Correct. The hardest pitch on the Dawn Wall is rated 9a and in addition the climbing is of a very particular style (slabs) that does not suite most 9a climbers. It is quite possible that the Dawn Wall won't be repeated for a long time.

Not true. Fivethirtyeight said repeatedly that Clinton's lead was within a standard polling error and that hence a Clinton defeat was about as likely as a Clinton landslide. They also pointed out over and over again, that the uncertain

Thanks! I think I get it now. The message of the article/figure is "You probably need to save more than you think in order to retire with X USD in savings."

Shouldn't this be compared to an alternative like buying bonds or holding the money in an average bank account? If inflation ate up the gains from the index value increase, wouldn't the same be true for other forms of investment?

All true. Also important to note that it would be dangerous if the car was completely silent. Even if the car is autonomous and has a crazy smart AI, there can be accidents if people outside don't notice the car. Also, any car will spi

OP, here. For the mods, I've summarized the findings in the abstract as best as I could. The title is way to general in my opinion. If this counts as clickbait, feel free to delete my submission.
