I agree-Manhattan has far too many cars. I think they should shut down 1/2 of the avenues to car traffic a la Amsterdam.

Minor correction: The A-level at the University of Chicago is already a floor where students are allowed to speak freely.

Is it really "ridiculous" to not use endangered tropical woods, or to report minority or female employee statistics? I understand it's a headache, but these seem pretty logical. Here is the link: http://ogs.ny.gov&

Not to side on the side of onerous regulations, but this is a little naive. There is good reason that many of these laws are as long as they are. Things have to be explicitly laid out in legal language.

No we probably won't...drug synthesis requires large amounts of reagents. It wouldn't be practical to keep the variety of reagents around to synthesize any given drug.

They will just drive the truck from the next avenue over to the avenue that is closed and carry it from there. I don't think this wouldn't add that much delivery time. As another commenter said, this setup is totally normal in mos

Adding street cars and limiting car traffic would be an excellent solution in Manhattan. Installing street cars are probably two orders of magnitude cheaper than digging the equivalent subway, and we have too many cars as it is. The second

R is a "legacy" language? By what metric?

The enamoration we have with "paleo" lifestyles is slightly absurd. The naturalist, primitivisy concept that things were superior in the past is a fallacy. Humans didn't live for very long 10,000 years ago, so the effects of

You mean they are simply being sold to so well they don't conduct their own research? That also seems like an unsatisfactory explanation.

It depends if the hedge funds really are reducing customers' risk exposure. If the companies the hedge funds own are basically the same as the market (the article references Google, Apple, and Facebook as the most commonly owned stocks

If the benefits of passive investment strategies are so obvious and widely known, why do wealthy investors turn to hedge funds? I find the argument that they just don't know better to be unsatisfactory.

This looks amazing! The amount of time I spend writing short python scripts to manipulate data in simple ways is way too big, and this looks like it might fit my needs precisely. Thank you for creating this.

I had the exact same thought. R is a pretty high-profile language; they could even couch a name change in positive terms. They'd probably get more publicity if they weren't competing with a popular package.

This isn't 100% wrong, but it's definitely close. To out it vaguely, there is enormous complexity and structure that we can't even model yet.

This question is basically the textbook example of "too broad" – is it any surprise that it was deleted? Perhaps you can take issue with the fact that StackOverflow doesn't allow overly broad questions, but personally I find

This is amazingly realistic. I don't mean to take away from it needlessly or criticize gratuitously, but if you watch the video you can see the water turbulence is still unrealistic. I guess this is a very difficult problem for the unr

It's fun reading papers from the 1950s because this would never be published today. I had an interesting thought reading this. It's well-known that caloric restriction extends lifespan. People who are obese but lose weight have m

I interpret it as a statement about the the limited public awareness only five years ago of growing water-hungry crops in a desert. This development is sort of feted as a huge success, without discussion of any possible externalities.

Good thoughts! Botulism is caused by a toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. E. coli is a little more complicated: some E. coli spp. produce toxins, and other species are enteroinvasive and actually can outcompete the gut flora (confusin
