We can't know if it's a lie or not until we know what the productivity difference is. Measuring productivity is, of course, a hard problem and I'm going to leave this completely out of this comment.

The question is, are we doing this page for the sake of art or are we doing this for the sake of spreading and sharing information? These are two different domains with different requirements as to how the page works. There is nothing wrong

It is from the Bible and the old testiment law. A goat were prepared for sacrifice (part of a much more complex ritual that I'm skipping), but then lead out in the wilderness and released instead of killed.

Someone who died in 1964 was technically a slave, but not yet old enough to function as a slave. Real slaves were mostly dead by 1940, the few who remained are outliers

That is revisionist history. Republicans are very proud of their opposition to slavery, and the Democrats were the ones opposing civil rights. There have been some changes in alignment over the years, but every Republican I've every ta

Best in the world is fully compatible with sick in several ways such as you named. They really should improve. However the results of what they have done are still really good... A bus is better because you still need roads for last mile fr

The point is this is not something you do normally because the time doesn't allow. If you could do that trip in 15 minutes you might move there since it would not change your life, but because the trip time doesn't allow you make

The sweetheart deals I've seen has been the state approving things that mostly affect the locals. A large part of property tax goes to local governments who were given no input in the deal.

They should be popular - they pay property taxes to the local schools without taking much from the community at all. (note that I'm coming out against the all too common tax breaks that they get to build in your city)

You don't need to build them. You can just not retire, or unretire one. Though we really should get better at building nuclear power plants. I'm think more of small ones to power ships though, not land based ones. Ships are one

They do use water, and the numbers look very large which makes for big scary headlines. However people who actually know how water is used in a city are used to numbers much larger than that.

Ironicly, in these cases more work can help the burnout. When you work 80 hours per week you are so busy you never notice you are not making meaningful human connections. When you only work 30 that leaves plenty of time to look at your ow

You can easially measure power by many different means - but I would expect they didn't. The lights may be running 24x7, while the elevator motor is only running when it is moving, which is why I wouldn't be surprised if they used

There are a lot of trucks that never go very far in a day. Many of them are used for "last mile" delivery. They start at a warehouse, get loaded, then go make a few deliveries and head back for the next load. While fast chargin

My guess (I'm not an engineer) is landing weight limits are more then because the airplane will never have more than that anyway. They need a little better suspension in case of a hard landing, and different training for the aircraft

The big problem with autonomous airplanes is they still require airports. I don't have a runway in my backyard, and I can't build one because someone else has a house there. My closest runway is about 20 minutes away, and then o

Badly planned flights should not happen. Pilots who don't carefully plan their flights end up dead quickly. Lack of fuel is one of the easier to handle things that can go wrong from bad flight planning.

Perhaps, but almost all of those shorter trips are routes that should have fast train service anyway.

Too bad Amtrak can't run good service. This is a perfect area for high speed trains, but instead the service is too slow and not frequent enough.

125 miles as the crow flies is less than three hours (two hours is a little tight) of driving for most trips of that distance people make! People tend to have friends and family they want to visit regularly. So they try plan their life aro

I think the error bars are too high to say more than that. I doubt they did a measure of the power the original consumed, just an analysis of the system. They likely only have whole building power consumption, where HVAC is the majority of

Yeah, when auto first came out a few people started abusing it everywhere making for unreadable code. Most developers settled quickly on much better rules for using auto that do not destroy readability, and never abused it in the first pla

I'm sure they thought it was a good idea given the constraints of the time. They also lacked a lot of modern knowledge and so couldn't do it the new way. Likely if someone had tried the new way at the time they would - rightly -

My first thought was probably overpriced, hard to use, non-standard garbage, but it looks nice so it wins an award. Turns out they are replacing the ancient non-standard stuff with modern standard stuff. How the ancients did it before we k
