Huh? There are bus routes to almost all those towns. I was a daily rider of the 6 between DT Minneapolis and Edina. And what does public transit to these suburbs/exurbs have to do with Minneapolis eliminating parking minimums for new h

I'm not following. How would eliminating parking minimums for housing make it harder to get to work? They're not getting rid of parking or preventing people from building parking. Plus there are plenty of large parking ramps downt

I would guess patents held by Google regarding their notifications interactions are part of it.

I find it much more intimidating to take buses versus rail. For example, unlike most rail systems, buses will skip stops unless a passenger requests that the bus make a stop. Well, when I'm riding the bus for the first time or at night

Definitely my experience in the U.S. also. Buildings are built to meet minimum code, including the amount of sound allowed to pass through walls between units. Minimum code is nowhere near good enough to block any amplified music/sound

Seems like an $85k/yr pension should be more than enough to retire on.

I believe that's a debunked stat. 30% might be native born, but that doesn't account for foreign-born U.S. citizens, even ones that grew up in the U.S.

To update the navigational system of the car I bought 2 years ago (a 2015 model) requires me going to the dealer and spending hundreds of dollars, which is a complete ripoff compared with using Google Maps or Apple Maps on my phone.

Remember Trump also accused Amazon of "not paying internet taxes," so facts are not his strong suit. (Although he is correct only in that there is no such thing as internet taxes)

OTOH, I wonder whether the opportunity costs of paying social security taxes are disproportionately higher for the rich than for the non-rich. What I mean is if the rich, instead of paying social security taxes, were able to invest that mon

I believe this was one of the reasons for George W. Bush's push for privatizing part of social security.

My last apartment complex offered 100Mbit fiber for $50/month. My current apartment complex offers CenturyLink gigabit fiber. I guess I lucked out.

Affirmative action, as commonly practiced for university admissions, don't hurt whites at all. They primarily hurt Asian-American applicants.

Also the patent application claims priority to a provisional patent application filed October 24, 2014, which was in all likelihood filed in view of the paper being submitted on October 30, 2014.

AFAIK, Howard and some other HBCUs do actively recruit non-black applicants (and may even use affirmative action to do so).

IIRC Ford actually got very lucky in that they were actually in huge trouble before the market crash and decided to mortgage the company right before the credit market seized up. So that was really why they didn't need to take the bail

I work out in the suburbs, and my commute would be super short and convenient if I lived in the same suburb. The problem is, if I were to change jobs, there are no other companies that are looking to hire somebody with my skillset in the s

No it's not in your head at all. Cable and satellite providers will compress, often very badly, the same feeds that you get via OTA antenna before transmitting those feeds to their customers.

I wouldn't exactly say San Francisco lacks high density. It is true that it is not nearly as dense as New York, but it is pretty densely populated compared to other U.S. cities. I think it is right though when people say that San Franc
