If you carefully read the fine article, you will notice that the author states: "There are really only two reasons why people might have a computer that’s more than five years old: 1. They can’t afford an upgrade. 2. They don’t need a

Showy brutalist architecture without an emphasis on pragmatism is kind of ironic: it's got the charm of a fallout shelter with the convenience of anti-cubism. It's like "utilitarianism theatre." There were lots of brutal

That's definately true. The problem is figuring out how to avoid situations like that without hesitating to speak up around people you don't know well.

Yes. Impressions probably depend on who you know and where you are. I think Cornel people are much friendlier to cyclists than the average resident, but I don't live very close to campus. I should add that in general I think it's

This sounds reasonable, but is oversimplified. OD deaths are up by a factor of three since the feds cracked down on cheap vicodin and oxy. The drug war has also killed huge numbers of people in other countries, harmed civil liberties at hom

I agree that it would be nice to have more data. It might be hard to get "big picture" data for this. I would imagine that police deptments are not incentivized to publish details in a convenient, highly visible, summarized form.
