I agree with much of this article, but I think a larger point is that we need to rethink what economic growth means. The current measure of GDP has become a cudgel to promote destructive behavior. What's the point of GDP anymore beyond

I think you might be misunderstanding the above comment. The default behavior of `npm i <package>` is to add `"<package>": "^1.2.1"` _not_ `"<package>": "1.2.1"`. The point the comme

As a native New Yorker there's so much about this that bugs me. One, talk is cheap. Two, what happened in NYC was not destined to be, and it's an easy lie leaders and those who look down on New Yorkers love to spread. Lots of big

Also from bk. I'll anecdotally second this sentiment. I even got sick with a terrible cough for 2 weeks in the end of February and lost my sense of smell for 2-3 days. My roommate didn't get sick, but I just spoke to my neighbors

I think it's safe to say yes, given that human's evolutionary ancestors lost the ability to produce vitamin C ~60 million years ago and there's no reason to assume they didn't require a similar diet to our own. To your l

Why on earth would anyone believe a Trump Appointee on what happened. The administration has proven themselves time and time again to lie through their teeth. And it sure seems to me that Arms Control, Weapons of Mass Destruction don't

I highly recommend their free birding app for iOS. It's a great intro into brid identification and it's steps to finding a bird you just saw are simple and user friendly. It has standard packs that are for common birds in the cont

Actually yes, the reverse does occur in nature. There are viruses that scientists believe originated from more complex life forms into "simpler" ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_virus

Here's a ts/js library, called coloring-palette, I developed for Bustle. It was inspired by this project, but meant to produce palettes in a format similar to Google's Material UI. https://github.com/bustle&#x

So instead of building more places for people to live where they want to/jobs are available we should just have mass migration out of economic centers. Got it.

This new research is definitely intriguing, but at the same time I think it's fair to be skeptical of this new science. During the times of increase in global temperatures, human populations are estimated to be between 5 to 20 million
