For a museum or a plaza with statuary? Sure :) I think his real point was that architecture is linked to nearly every other human activity from caves to cathedrals and everything in between.

I'd assume that there's certain requirements for the size of exam rooms based on an understanding of the equipment and exam tables, as well as privacy considerations: the doors should not open into a space visible from the waiting

That would be an interesting game! I think the basis of his argument generally stood on principle that most human activities involve or interact with architecture in some less-than cursory fashion. Most of the examples you gave require purp

Your argument assumes a level of understanding in cosmology and physics that does not currently exist. The standard model, as it stands is incomplete and does not predict all observable phenomena, it is intellectually dishonest to imply tha

What if the canary is served from a different web server, which happens to have some uptime problems that coincided with warrants being served? Can the government really criminalize your failure to keep your website up 100% of the time fore

An interesting point. I think ultimately he has the same problem of first causes that the argument for God does. In both arguments you have to draw a box around the universe/timespan/laws you will consider and then make an assum

Thank you for the reply, these are some really interesting insights. To the problem of laymen understanding any given article, I almost question if this is truly a bad thing? To me, it seems that the 'web' itself was meant in the

Let's think a bit broader: if you did truly solve that problem it's quite likely that the solution would have broad applications across a wide range of domains. Unrelated, but I am curious on your opinion on something: do you perc

I've been curious lately: is there any sense in which a nanomachine of mechanical design could be better or faster at certain calculations? Manufacturing and wear issues aside, are their potential theoretical advantages to going back t

My dad is an architect, he once challenged me to find some area of study that architect's don't potentially need to know something about. I still haven't come up with one.

>you have to be 100% totally damn sure that there is a problem in a first place and that you're not inventing it Sounds a lot like a 'no true Scotsman' fallacy. Everything from apartments to restaurants to taxi and semi dr

I happened across this book, which seems to be little heard of and really enjoyed it. Premise is great and the science seems solid for the most part. Author seems like he tried hard to stick with things that are not denied by the laws of ph

My point is, one of personal responsibility. You are agreeing that if the need arises you are willing to be 'on the hook' for the money owed. It isn't their son's debt that is keeping them from retiring, it is the choice

I think that's accurate. I just get tired of the culture of newness. Knowledge who's age could best be described in months gets derided for be old and irrelevant.

If you co-sign a loan it's not your son's debt, it's your debt.

It's my understanding that there are irons and titanium ores on the moon as well, though I do not know in what quantities.

It's amazing how differently time move online vs meatspace. Take computing out of the picture and 2007 isn't very long ago at all. Look at a few web pages from then and it feels like 20 years ago.

Agreed. I think it's exciting less for the technical achievement and more so for what it could mean for private space flight. For the first time, some real economies of scale may be able to be leveraged in space flight. The first inter

If it's fulfilling to him, then that's not necessarily a bad thing. Some people never find something they are passionate about.

At the end of the day, you could do what Blue Origin did with a balloon. The practical aspect of actually being able to put something on orbit is what's special.

Theoretically it would still have ample thrust but I don't know about the other factors like gimballing and asymmetrical thrust.

Eh - I think a good bit of it is entertainment for public consumption. Competition keeps people interested. It's pretty neat how we've gone from two superpowers duking it out in a cold war to two rich dudes exchanging barbs on twi

It is a great idea, just do your homework first as there are some non-obvious dangers in some devices like old tube style tv's and microwaves.

Alzheimer's is such an awful way to go, I can see how people would chance it.

To be fair, if the plants are under solar panels then yeah, that's a valid point. Sounds more like people who don't want the land used for this and are seizing on any argument they can to gum up the works.
