Does make me wonder about the 18th and early 19th C, where the written language was very polite and formal but people regularly had duels and killed each other. But perhaps spoken language at the time was far less polite? What did Hamilton

Focus on outlets that prioritize reporting. You can't find a "neutral" outlet -- all human beings have biases, and that gets magnified once we're talking about collective human endeavors such as newspapers, magazines, et

Cool! Though the data must be a bit noisy as you get some oddities. For instance, if you select Astoria/Ditmars (last top, NW Queens) the Flushing/Main Street stop (last stop of purple -- go directly west on map from Astoria) is o

I think there's a lot to be said for knowing your audience. I don't submit often, and most of my submissions only get a handful of points -- very rarely have I had one get onto the front page. (To be clear, I'm talking about

I'm not sure about Amtrak boarding processes, but regarding Moynihan vs Penn: - Penn Station is directly under Madison Square Garden. There used to be a large building similar in scale to Grand Central Terminal, but it was rather contr

Which gets back to the original point, that the real answer is to minimize how much data is held in the first place. Controls will always be insufficient to prevent breaches. Companies and organizations should keep less data, keep it for le

Is it just me, or would "single page applications" fit easily in the "examples" section there? Sounds kind of trollish when I write it out, but honestly, it fits pretty well, right? We threw away all the things the brows

Is there a real-world example of raising an animal from birth, with no contact with any others of its kind, being released into the wild and successfully living there?

I'm skeptical that would work. Animals aren't robots; their behavior isn't just programmed in to their DNA. Absent adult mammoths to teach the newly "revived" mammoth how to be a mammoth, I doubt it simply releasing

I think the trick is the "metro." I've never been to LA, but have lived in NYC proper and now out in the greater "metro" and this does seem plausible to me, depending on how the metro is defined. If you look at a sa
