But he wasn’t wrong, so figured he had a reasonable chance of success.

This is why I love computer science but hate chemistry. Too much volume.

The author appears to lump anyone of opposing views together. Flat earth - trivial to disprove, ok Anti-vacation - not trivial, but a huge amount of work has been done to show anyone who isn’t totally shut down the glaring before/after

It doesn’t. Composting and burying leaves for example aren’t the same thing. Composting provides extra oxygen and whatever other steps are necessary to accelerate the decomposition process. A buried body can last many years, especially if

You can get to SF in a short time from many suburbs. Almost everyone I know wants to be able to do these things at the drop of a hat, but rarely does these things as a percentage of time. Time mostly goes to sleep, work, family, etc.

Not allowed to bring your own? You think this is a good thing? God forbid I make some food at home. Sounds like a protection racket to me or a social equality experiment gone crazy.

The cost for handling nuclear waste is likewise ignored. Even worse, forget the cost, just knowing what to do with the waste isn’t absolved problem. A solution isn’t a solution until we know how to deal with this last step. Temporarily st

Ha! Brings back memories. When I was an engineering student at UIUC, I was taking a physics class where the Prof graded crazy hard, even by the standards of the department. His response was "one day you might build a bridge and can k

Not true, it's often easily worth $150k/year, on top of your $120-180k salary.

Everything in that series is over-described. The whole series could have been a trilogy.

Wow, after a year you could have learned how to deal with the weather better. Better shoes, defensive driving classes, etc. All for less than the cost of one month's rent. I live in California and love it, but bad weather is just som

I work in SF. There is no requirement I be able to afford to live there. Do no, I don't expect the employees to necessarily be able to live there. Ferrari mechanics cannot afford Ferraris. Stanford regular employees cannot afford to

This is why a basic level of education that you can use to make a living should be free. It used to be. You used to be able to take shop in high school. A better way of putting it should be that prisons should educate people to the level

That covers a lot of territory. Trivialize abuse? If I say getting pushed by someone is no big deal because you couldn't dress/act/whatever however you wanted because you could have avoided it (assuming the other group said

Olympics cater to the masses for support. Men wearing dresses would turn off so many viewers I can't think of a faster way to shut it down.

Lots of things aren't necessary. Eating lots of meat, sex without intent to procreate, travel. They sure are fun!

I had Jeff for CS423. He is an incredible professor. The assignments were very time consuming but I learned a ton.

Wow. You know there are sci-fi books written about a world were some people are not allowed to be better than others? If you have some advantage, you have to do extra so it's nullified. Seriously, who are you to tell me how to run my

I should add that as men get older a HUGE incentive against marriage is the perception of mistreatment by family courts. Stories about owing a woman a paycheck for years make people think twice. This is in glaring contrast to the line ever

In my experience, high earning women want even more high earning men because if she can do X, as a man, he should be able to do X+1. I hear this FAR more than anything else. The second most common thing I hear is that men are intimidated b

You should call it "health care payments" then. Insurance has long gone past it's original goal of mitigating risk.

Of course they will only make the news in CA when those things happen. The news here in CA caters to people who live here. You are quite narrow minded and exhibit exactly what they describe as "coastal elite".

In places like Hong Kong and Singapore this is not his right and their mentally disabled are much better off. Much less revolving door, less stigma, less crime, more family support, etc. Just because we do something one way doesn't ma

Your response is all over the place and off the mark. You sound like someone who has never had to pass advanced exams to proceed with much higher levels of education. I have relatives who are dentists. They are extraordinary in their preci

What does art have to do with democracy? That's pure hubris. Most engineers I know are far more widely read and know more about art and culture than most liberal arts people I know.

A lot from when? In the 80s, a woman couldn't get a credit card w/o her husband co-signing. That's a pretty huge access to money they previously didn't have.

Very little of nursing is like that. Most nursing doesn't have lives in the balance most days. It does require being somewhat social with patients though. You are forgetting one huge thing. Lots of women doing something make it auto
