Would love to try this out but I am having various problems with curl mostly certificates that is stopping the install. Install.sh is a bit complex for tweaking. Is there a zip or .msi or .exe I can grab to install this on Windows 10?

If they jack up the space rent too high they will end up owning an empty park.

I wrote about the space rent issue. The bottom line is you may have to abandon your MH or sell it cheap if an investor jacks up the space rent, but the MH cost split over the time of your residency would be relatively small. Example $100k M

Not true - MHs can have special shallow stairs that are easier on the knees or even a wheelchair ramp or lift if necessary. All three of these options exist on houses on my street. Also my wife has bad knees but had knee joint replacement s

The original idea for tiny homes was to avoid the mortgage rat race and retire early. An alternate solution that is almost as inexpensive but that doesn't involve living in a shoebox is a mobile home in a good old fashioned mobile home

In a game world motivation can be generated by access to the next room, level, whatever. Or, if you finish your fractions drill problems, you can play XYZ for an hour.

Tutorials don't really need paid tutors if peer to peer Q+A like a discussion forum is available. Another concept that could improve things is team education - you get marked on your own achievements but also partially on how your whol

Education should be recast as a sort of MMORPG instead of a physical campus. Would be 100th or 1000th the cost and achieve 80% of the results. Kahn Academy and the like are a start.

Wikipedia has a strong skeptical bias - just read the talk page. The article is more than a decade out of date but is basically frozen by the moderators. Look at the videos on their site to see the progress they have made in solving the eng

Twitter is popular because it solves TL;DR: (at least temporarily) and it gained a following amongst the movers and shakers. Reddit is superior in some ways, but getting a critical mass of blue badge twits over there won't happen.

In the early 70s the Oxford Physics Dept ran a Decsystem 10 as I recall that isn't mentioned in the history. Unfortunately the only language available through the timesharing system was Basic.

Well how about if the millions determine which are the best tweets to show by default, but do it so that quality or novel content comes through and political snark and misinformation is hidden.

AI can surely be trained to promote quality content and hide political snark and misinformation. How hard can it be?

Top performers should switch jobs or assignments early and often to gain experience and build a network, and probably should not stay in a job more than 2 years until they are considered senior. Low/marginal performers need to stay in

Before sprints there was waterfall scheduling at the project level: requirements, design, development, testing, delivery, and maintenance. Often tasks would be late and delays would propagate resulting in the old adage for estimating how lo
