That's an extreme example of long distance travel, not normal commuting distance.

Using subway stations as shelters during off peak hours is a masterstroke of efficient infrastructure. Every city should do that.

Are you saying that depriving people of places to sleep makes the city more livable.

How can you run a fire department and think you need or even have any use for a special key for every fence in the city, when you already have master bolt cutters.

You mean "command economy"?

US property tax of 1% or rarely 2% is not much of.a speed bump when you are chasing 10+% gains.

No, you should drive extra below speed limit on days with low visibility or reduced control.

We already have a solution deployed: gas taxes.

That's wild. They could fix the roads to calm traffic, such as add more lights and bumps.

How do you know you have full test coverage if you don't mutate your code?

That sounds like a complicated workaround for bad libraries (Redis does support unit tests?) and bad apply design with strong coupling between remote components.

Mocking is a last resort and usually the wrong choice and used incorrectly. In memory fakes like sqlite (or better, running your real database in a small local inmemory footprint) is usually the way to get fast, correct, stable tests.

No, it's when you get the right answer for the wrong reason, like a math problem solution that has two mistakes that cancel out in the end result, but are still incorrect logic

As a scientific term, "diminishing" means its derivative has limit/asymptote of 0 or negative approached fast enough that the integral (or series sum) is bounded. Logarithm, with derivative 1/x is the well-behaved functi

Certainly everything with gravitational mass or electromagnetic energy communicates with others via the waves and particles of physics. The question is only in the complexity of these messages compared to biological and psychological proces

It's still a bit arbitrary. Why is the water cycle in a mountain/coud/river not a living process, but the ATP cycle in a cell is?

Stars die, so I'm not sure why your example includes stars forming -- that's not a steady state. Still, rocks and crystals are not quite an end state either, in a non expanding universe -- eventually they collide and crumble to du

Your Wikipedia link says that the Phantom is a myth and the DNA was contamination from the kit factory.

That's why in some quarters it's called git debase .

You may be right about knowledge, (relativstic quantum information theory leans in your favor, hi Ron Garrett!) but your dreprectatory definition of knowledge and philosophy covers most humans who have ever existed, not just self title

The essence of probability is being wrong for the right reasons (less often * weight then being right for those same reasons).

As Raymond Smullyan proved, everyone is either inconsistent or conceited.

For the C heads, you mean what feels like a pointer is actually an array? :-)

Is it grades specifically that mattered? If the consequence for not learning algebra was to repeat lessons until you learned it, wouldn't you get bored and want to score well and move on? Isn't level of progress as motivating as a

If parents aren't expected to cope (with appropriate support), life is a lost cause.

This is such an obvious explanation that it makes me doubt the whole study.

The weak clearly can't punish the powerful. If the powerful can't punish the weak, there is no check against criminal activity.

Magic? It's aesthetic, but technically it's simply a circuit that with the wires woven together instead of printed in traces on a board. Magic-like tech is the reverse, the amazing minituarization of circuitry to microscopic size
