Rent control created an disincentive to build new rentals, increasing the cost for new renters....laws against building made it worse. People complain because they work low wage jobs in the city and need a place to live. If they don't

From a knowledge building perspective, this study is not helpful. All this does is show that maybe there is something to look at in a more well funded study.

More than one study is needed before you can conclude that allowing people to stand while working is not a good thing. We don't even have to population details to determine if the study population was properly selected and that all var

I think there is value of management in all cases wrt processing corporate beurocratic paperwork and even for resource allocation of staff to initiatives. You get into trouble with non-SME managers that start directing the way people solve

We know when neanderthal was living in Europe and we think we know when Humans arrived. Based on the evidence that we have, the conclusion is that neanderthal has symbolic thought. I am not saying it is not possible that modern humans are n

Evidence of modern humans existing in Israel that long ago does not mean a migration occurred. Those remains could be from a group that ranged only that far and died out. If they can tie their genetics to the genetics of non Africans then y

When I think of WYSIWYG editors, I see presentation and content being mixed. Unless Typora has figured out how to get remove the need to locate the insertion point of a formula, open an editor, then submit the data to render an image that i

The problem is, if you do a lot of formula writing in a narrative, most WYSIWYG editors that support LaTeX formula rendering are just not efficient. I want to type my thoughts, start a formula block, write my expression, end the block, and

I used LaTeX all the time at university. It made citation/bib easy, it made writing reports for mathematics way more efficient, and the presentation of the documents were beautiful. I had a prof rave about how nice the my paper looked

I like the premise of the article. I think bean counting, short sighted companies killed the junior dev....and that role died a long time ago in many places (even farther back than 2010). I also think the article needs some copy editing. A

Affluent and powerful people are typically people that are smart enough to parse out any mild bias and ignore it. The Gomer and Cletus crowds of the world that vote are the people that are the risk for the lies of the fake news sources beca
