   Interesting, I did see a lot of Geely and Great Wall Motors autos in Ecuador last time I was there. Thanks for introducing me to BYD.

   For most of China's Imperial history they had a tributary system. Which I think ended in 1912. It is not really surprising to see it come back in a some form.

   A question of ignorance, but people really worry about a wandering mind?

   If I am not mistaken ConocoPhillips owns apartments around its support center in Bartlesville, OK. People seem to love it and that town is dirt cheap.

    There are fast track executive development programs in Oil and Gas. But, the point is to develop a person before they become an executive. That said the mental shift from building to executing a company is difficult.

    I know translators who use Google Translate for a first pass and then correct the results. Translators time is limited so anything that allows them to focus more on the nuances of language is a good thing.

    This is why companies move to the suburbs. Prestige of a Manhattan address over the comforts of the burbs.

    So nothing in the article says her son is doing academically poorly in school. Simply that he has been labeled with the classic "behavioral problem" catch all and the author believes it is because of her son's lack of physica

    Ah, I have thought of Uber as UPS for people. Door to door routing, with out me having to think of all the logistics would be a thing of beauty.

    I don't see how market movements of -13%(digital) and -15%(albums) equal a plummet.

    I have started two publishing companies over the last two years. What I can say on the economics of print is that the margins are not good compared to ebooks. What this article misses is the fight is not really between publishers and Amazon

    If anything this shows there is a ton of low-lying fruit for the Feds to pick to improve operational efficiency. This along with the Pentagon's inability to do accounting should allow for big improvements. And due to budget constraints

    I have to agree with you about dealing with the Soviet Union it made accounting an after thought. Now the war has moved to an economic front (if it was not always that). And a fighting force that cannot effectively keep track of its resourc

    As far as Keystone XL and other pipelines across the country the training programs are for actual terrorist attacks. An attack on a pipeline is a mess if local law enforcement does not know how to deal with it. I remember sitting in my dad&

    Even the federal government evades having to pay their interns. The DHS is looking for 100 unpaid student volunteer assignments. Oh please, having to take a free internship in one of the highest paying fields, cyber security, is ridiculous.

    I know Devon Energy pretty well. I know they have a strong PR department and their is no way they want this to be blown up. They need the Keystone XL pipeline built. My guess is this is a case of overzealous security guards and OKC police.

    I wonder if this is an experiment to bring all Amazon shipping in house? This would fit with their huge distribution system build out across the globe. In the meantime Amazon's relationship with UPS and FedEx is not disturbed.

    I am sure they tried. It is just reasoning and politics don't go together very well. Even then the current time frame for muni infrastructure projects is decades before completion. Long term I would say something like a Silicon Valley

    Politics. SF is a mess, Google and the rest of the Valley will realize they have to do something about it. I think this is the point.

    Yeah that part is a pain in the ass in LA. But I am pretty sure Google has the chops to tackle that. And if they shame Apple and the rest of the Valley into it and they could lobby the hell out of the city. It works for the feds it will wor

    I for one hope this gets blown out of proportion. And Google wises up and realizes if they fund public transit they can win public opinion and make the city they live in better for everyone.

    I call on every American to learn English and possible a second language first. Then maybe we will have more ideas to code.
