Seems like it’s a bit more complicated than that: “The relationship between trees and air pollution is a complicated one. Particulate matter suspended in polluted air tends to settle onto leaves, and certain gases including nitrous dioxide

Disappointing; I just wired my home with Ubiquiti equipment, and now it looks like I may have to tear it all out. Has anyone recently set up a custom home router, switch, and/or WiFi AP? Any tutorials or examples you could recommend?

Rifles aren’t a desirable drone-interception tool. For one thing, it’s hard to hit a small moving target that may be hundreds of meters up in the air. Overshoot is also a huge problem - unlike birdshot pellets which fall harmlessly to the g

It’s harder to scapegoat minorities when nobody’s all that mad about anything. Conversely, it’s easier to be charitable when you have more to give. Finally, there’s Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: self and family survival comes before everythi

I'm perplexed by writers who prioritize the social equality of a minority over economic equality among the majority. Don't get me wrong - I think both are important, but if we're honest, doesn't the general peace and wel

Sorry, I'd assumed your first comment which diffed 2013 and 2016 was a comprehensive summary. Now it looks like we're shifting the brackets around, and I'm not sure where the goalposts are. I'll defer to the study in my

Your link only examines data up to 2003, accounts only for poverty vs. other measures of economic opportunity, and does not account for the steeper decline in life expectancy among white Americans vs. other groups.

For sure. But of the capital they managed, how much belonged to someone else? Did that someone else trust Softbank (for example) to do their due diligence before making a significant investment in WeWork?

I think many would call for punishment of the WeWork CEO, along with the investors who failed their due diligence. Sometimes the law of the day does not deliver justice. Seems like another instance where everyone not taken in by the hype sa
