I always wonder how entire cities ended up as ruins that were then lost and subsequently found by archeologists. It seems like what is going on in Detroit and other cities and towns is similar to what must have happened in many city's cases

This reminds me of the 1998 movie The Siege. Terrorists are bombing New York and the politicians are discussing bringing in the army to hunt them down. Bruce Willis is a hard ass general and this is what he has to say on the subject: "Make

I prefer soft yellow in most of the house and crisp white in the bathrooms and office. In bathrooms it allows you to see everything clearly (a good thing?) and in the office I find it keeps me alert.

It is form over function, it is arguably less readable like this. While I can tell what each part means it takes me longer due to the non standard design. That said, in form it is highly accomplished. Very shiny.

I fun thought experiment but before anyone does a nude run down main street screaming "we are all doomed" think about this. Our energy use is driven not only by technology requirements, but also population growth, which is likely to be far

Efficient? Perhaps. Safer and more reliable? Remains to be seen. But you don't get something for nothing and the usual decrease in cost comes at a price. As a customer of Airbnb I am extremely aware I taking a greater chance using it than b

The stuff I have read points to the X-Prize as the catalyst, though you are likely right in that there was a combination of factors that allowed these enterprises off the ground. Certainly a load of geeks flushed with cash didn't hurt at al

One can make a non-ludicrous case that the most important event in the cultural history of America since the 18’60s was the introduction of L S D. Before acid hit American culture, even the rebels believed, as Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman

I think the OP is also talking about the impact Leonardo had on the fields he worked in not just his scope. He made a similar impact that Einstein did in physics but in a dozen different fields. He was a polymath on an incredible scale.

This policy should make sense to anyone who has ever had any involvement with someone with an addiction. Generally the addiction is a symptom of other problems, often mental illness, that if treated appropriately would help prevent a slide

Interesting, do you have some reputable links to something dissecting the claims in the paper? I would have thought mathematical mistakes would have been classed out long ago. Certainly it would have been the first place people looked at th

I am pretty happy with Linode for the most part and haven't experienced many issues. However when we have had issues, diagnosed the issue and filed a ticket we get always get told it is a known issue and "Apologize for inconvenience". Why d

I don't think you quite understand the scale of the problem. We don't have enough usable organic waste of any sort to put on our crops.

You miss the point of the cow manure. There is only so much of it to go around, we can't feed the world's population using it.
