Perhaps this is a side note to your point, but if when you say "ect" you mean electroconvulsive therapy, then I'll note that ECT has excellent efficacy for major depressive disorder among others and is well-studied: http:&#x

Better to eliminate the highway and replace it with a boulevard, with good protected sidewalks and bike lanes and transit facilities, maybe a bus lane or rail. That highway is neither inevitable nor immortal. See for instance http:/&#

I've been using the Headspace app for several months and found it to be very helpful. While doing the exercise, which is a daily 15 minute guided meditation session, I feel much more relaxed. And throughout the rest of my day I find th

I just read a book [1] which argues that while the Americans didn't worry too much about getting the most they could out of their manpower on D-Day - because they had several million more troops waiting to go - the British were conscio

I used to commute from the Red line to the Blue line. In the mornings when I was in a hurry I would take the Green from Park to the now-closed Government Center and then pick up the Blue, but in the afternoons I would get out at State and w

Absolutely, and in the United States there's a standard mileage rate that the IRS will let you use for computing a tax deduction (if it's for business), which companies often use as the amount to reimburse. For 2014 it's $0.5

Thanks for pointing that out; I should have made it clear. I'm curious about Orange County car chase stats.

When I visited Canada from the US, I bought a 907 gram package of mussels. It's the same 2 pound package they always sold, just with the size converted to metric.

Do you have a good source for the state of the art in backpacking mattresses? I last bought one back in the 1990s, and I guess now I'm interested to see a comparison table of maybe weight, R-value, and price for reasonable choices.

Your example is extremely clear-cut, but doesn't match the situation with Heroku very closely. If Heroku promised an intelligent router, but then it was always down and never served you any requests, that would make your Dell example a good

Sure, that's basically a rule for when to do the "introduce explaining variable" refactoring [1]. There's a bit of taste as to when to name things in this instance, but certainly if a name can replace a comment then it's better to use a nam
