As I understand it, Helsinki made this mistake. They wanted to attract families to the city, so they mandated a minimum portion of larger apartments in new construction. Unfortunately these apartments ended up being too expensive for their

I'd like to use apps out there for model railroading - locomotive control and accessory automation, especially 3-rail. There is a LOT written for Arduino; I wonder if any other platforms come close. Someone mentioned some sort of Ardui

Great film. I think the box office took a hit because of the film's unwieldy name.

> When I was younger you could stare at the yellowish glow of a car with headlights on and just not be blinded. Seconded. And I guess this is about the same thing as has happened to streetlights ?

Consider a case where a DJ's entire show can be downloaded as a single MP3, AND there is a complete playlist for the show. Is there any software that can use this to break up the single mp3 into the numerous individual song tracks ? An

Multiple articles in the archives of The Guardian tell about the influence and the special status of The City and how it undercuts British democracy. And to go one step further, I've read the idea that Brexit was instigated to prevent
