Sniff. I remember when I was young and naive too. Actually, it may have been mostly true thirty years ago, before the workplace became a minefield.

You could, but where would all that power come from? Fusion is the only thing I can see that fits the bill, and we're decades from commercialization.

My sister locked her bike to a pole through the frame in San Diego. When she came back literally every other part was gone, and the frame remained locked to the pole. They even took the cranks, the forks, and the brake cables. Who steals

If it's 20km round trip that's not too bad. 20km each way is a bit much.

In the US you pay in paper money and you're almost always going to get some change in coins. Pretty much that means you're always carrying around both bills and coins. The coins have so little value most people pay with bills an

That's because American coins aren't worth anything. I'd like to see $5 and $20 coins, and the elimination of the penny and nickel, which would mean I don't have to carry around paper money any more. Traveling to Europe

I'm glad you know how much I can eat at McDonald's before feeling sated. What a dumb thing to say.

I actually like the food. But I never go to McDonalds, because I can eat a full day's worth of calories in one meal and still be hungry. I don't know how they do it.

The problem is a six month delay pushes everybody's launch back six months. So if you had an interplanetary probe scheduled for the next Mars launch window in April of 2018, a six month delay starting today would mean your probe doesn

I don't think so. The problem is environmental regulations raise the cost of doing business. Which is fine, if you live in a place like the US, say, or Australia. But if you live in a country where people are already going hungry, a

The one thing we've proven over the last 40 years is you don't get better education by throwing money at it. Here in California we spend, in constant dollar, twice what we spent per pupil in 1970. Test scores are flat.

Generally because environmentalism is luxury for wealthy countries. When you stack up carcinogens that may or may not kill you in four decades against feeding your family today, the food will always win.

State U is just fine for a technical degree, but you're diminishingly unlikely to be a CEO of a large company you didn't start yourself. Or a partner in a big NYC corporate law firm.

When the government gets to decide both 1) when something is false and 2) when false things are not allowed to be said, it's really only a question of time. Canada, in particular, is already notorious for its foray into Human Rights Co

I think the answer to that conundrum is just that it takes a lot more time for things to even out than you'd think. It hasn't even been 30 years since the Soviet Union collapsed.
