Well, if you're German that means you move to Silicon Valley, make the big bucks for a few decades, then move back to Germany when your health starts to fail.

If you dig deep enough into this article you see this sweeping assertion in the headline is based on a few hundred crashes in South Australia. And rather than say the cars were at fault, the report says in most cases the cyclists were foun

And yet you only get peak power from solar when the sun is normal to the panel. We need power at other times too.

Giving people all the cars they want and feeding the planet are two different subjects. Yes, I expect over time we'll all be a bit less wealthy than we would have been if our supply of oil was endless. But I do not believe the price o

Technology changes that point, though. Much of the oil we're pulling out today in the US was considered too expensive to be worth the extraction costs just a few decades ago.

It's axiomatic for a nonrenewable resource you're going to have a point in time in which you're extracting the most of that resource. But then there's "Peak Oil" as an apocalyptic theory with imploding economie

Yes, if you have practically free energy you can make hydrocarbons and everything you make with hydrocarbons. But the numbers are so large that's really only going to be possible with fusion, so we're talking generations from no

Yeah, that's the flaw in the drug production plan. They think they can get around it by declaring themselves an independent nation, but nobody's going to recognize them as such. If they're not an independent nation they&#x2

That's a good idea. If you're going to deal with the hardships of living on a rig, you may as well park it somewhere nice.

Money is fungible. If companies weren't benefiting from low wage labor they'd be charging the state more to house the inmates.

It's actually operational, and has been for a few months. The USAF is cleared to deploy it worldwide, though I doubt they will until the pilots are a bit more familiar with it.

We'll see if that's the actual effect in practice. Young professional women make more money than their male counterparts. If they're not as good at negotiating as their male counterparts, this may negate their only advantag

Periodically we try fixed price contracts and it never really works out. It's fine if you're ordering hammers or assault rifles - something that gets built all the time in quantity. But when you're building an aircraft carri

The big other military advantage to roads is you may simply not have enough ships available to move the massive army you put together when you decide you've had just about enough of those pesky Gauls.

I've been there. This is not an easy problem to solve - they do have vetting procedures and sometimes reject bids because they think the contractor can't do the job. But companies are pretty good at making sure the boxes are all

The military is always in a bind with contractor selection. If the don't choose the lowest bidder they get hauled up in front of a Senate committee full of people grandstanding for the next election accusing them of taking care of cro
