Like most of us I haven't actually read Capital in the 21st Century, but isn't his whole point that the capital gains of the ultra rich outstrip the income of any worker? Anecdotally I hear anger towards hedge fund managers and in

Dumb question: why use power of two sized rings? If I know the reader won't be more than 100 behind the writer, isn't it better to waste one element of a 101 sized rings instead of 28 of a 128 sized ring?

It's called the Thermomix, and it even chills. It's awfully expensive though.

Where to even begin on an article this bad? 0. The author doesn't bother to try a sip of soylent, but feels empowered to judge its flavor based on the opinions of other reviewers. This itself is meaningless, but it's representativ

Apart from completely defeating the humanitarian aim of world peace, it's not a reliable strategy. Assad brutally cracked down at the first sign of protest and it backfired into a civil war he's barely surviving. Lots of repressiv

Honestly I find his "well done" picture better representative of the sameness I see in new seattle buildings. All the new upscale apartments and condos have the same trendy contrasting blocks of colors and materials. The angles ma

Although many spices have antimicrobial properties, the idea they were used as a preservative is a myth. Just look at leftovers: My extra spicy kung pao goes bad just as fast as my roomate's sweet and sour. Salt, acidity, and fermentat

I hate how politicians pander to the base with vague promises to increase or decrease regulation instead of debating to find which regulations are the most effective. Same situation for welfare programs, use of military power overseas, and

DoS isn't an attack? I agree it's less severe than leaking credit card numbers, but availability is a big deal in many applications.
