I think the next 'reddit' needs to be an evolution and innovative in some ways. Cracking the comment thread organization would be a good place to start, that seems like something that could really be improved on. Also, as a few ot

That sounds interesting. Would be a fun project.

OK, so who thinks it would be a good idea to post their credit card number and CVV2 code on their Facebook wall? Because that's essentially what Mastercard has caused everyone to do here.

It also becomes a sacred cow. The bread dole was a huge issue for Rome once it got started because they really had no choice but to keep it up.

Almost none of those companies are IN Chicago though.

Your statement isn't really true. Netflix does charge sales tax in some states, and as a company they are subject to other forms of tax in the the locals where they have a business nexus. City governments will need to adapt to the ch

There's a whole lot that people are willing to put up with the live in a place that's perceived to be the "mecca" of this or that.

Pretty hard to compare two vastly different arenas like that. In space flight even mature platforms have a 1%-10% failure rate. Because of the physics involved, rockets operate at the very edge of the capabilities of the rocket. Modern auto

On paper, this logically follows from the tax regs Chicago already has on the books. They have an "Amusement Tax" (Orwell couldn't have named this better himself) which applies to co's that sell tickets to shows, etc. Fr

I don't necessarily think this is accurate. I've observed a strong and useful pattern here where posts are deconstructed in the comments in a logical fashion which I believe is, and should be seen as constructive. Even if you come

I feel like a lot of establishments in New York probably run on the same basic principle.

The problem is capital investment. A VR arcade will be cutting edge for what, 18 months at the most ? After that the hardware is no longer better than what you can achieve at a consumer level. That's not very long to make back your in

How are their posts that are 4 hours old when OP is only 3 hours old? How does that work?

Tank exploded but I don't think it ignited. The rapid breakup you see is due to the air pressure forces at that speed most likely.

Interesting - what were the differences between the orbiters that you had to account for?

They come in at an angle so that the rocket is not over the barge for long, that way if it fails higher up it doesn't fall onto the barge with a lot of kinetic energy.

Once you realize that the end goal is to be able to fly back rockets in places with a minimum of infrastructure it makes sense. Heck we landed on the moon the same way. Also, rockets are deceptively fragile so most variations of the 'c

We've had something similar since the 60's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_X-Jet From the info I've found it looks like it was never adopted because it didn't fill a niche that helicopters o

It's becoming more clear that we need proactive laws on the books to stop this kind of stuff because it keeps popping up again and again.

They use the term abandoned when really, it sounds like the more correct description is that the client decided to go with a different service. In that case, it would be akin to G+ reviving your profile page after you moved to Facebook, and

The reasons for blown out costs matter though: on kickstarter it's likely due to lack of experience with the manufacturing process. Kickstarter companies also likely do not have the marketing or global retail network to recoup sunk cos

That sounds good and all, but something a lot of people forget is you don't need to elect a third party for them to make a difference. Third party votes represent a block of voters ripe for cherry picking if one of the two major partie

Probably on the order of 120 MPH or 55.8 meters per second. The drone weighs 1.2 Kilograms. The kinetic energy on impact would be 1800 Joules give or take. A 357 Magnum generates about 873 Joules. The energy we are talking about is not in
