I'm confused by the comment "also confiscates a fixed portion of its residents’ net wealth every year" that is followed up by "each additional SFr1m ($997,000) the richest Zug residents put in the bank incurs an annual t

Interesting study, but I feel there are more social factors that play into this and need to be studied. I have 2 kids and I can't imagine raising them without 2 parents in the household. The infant mortality rate seems very correlated

This is a real concern and can be actively exploited against many forums (tested myself). I found one forum that had poor file management and isolation...through this exploit I was able to view an unencrypted backup of the SQL database as

There is no federal system, so it's left to the states. Unfortunately some states are good at some things and shitty at others. Take my state...we rarely have vote by mail issues (100% for at least a decade now), but we also gave hun

This isn't ready for mass usage. Simply put this will replace the original kernel and allow users to use it just like they do with the current ReiNX or Atmosphere packages. Just stating that progress is being made and it's very

Platinum prices have declined every year, more or less, for the last decade. Car manufacturing world wide has increased in that same time frame (even excluding EV that wouldn't need platinum).

The real questions is: Why has gold risen so much and platinum (which is much rarer than gold) stayed relatively flat recently (down since 2009) and is currently worth less than have as much? Platinum was > $2K/oz during the 2008-0

25 years...but we also have the ability to open outside dampers on our return air chases to output all air if needed.

It's an industrial HVAC system that has control systems to allow this (simply just changing damper settings)...but ours is also ~25 years old. Schools opening windows would just be a low tech way of looking at how we change the damper

Not all if it isn't designed that way (ours isn't because we never plan to not use recirc). The loss isn't actually that much and since we are using low temp cooling water to cool the air and we have a significant amount of

My company took steps to address this months ago. The re-circulation rate was set to zero so all air is fresh make up air from outside. This has significantly increased our cooling bill since it's summer, but it was something that we

While it's always great when people give that kind of money to charity...also understand that she gained $24B in net worth since her divorce from Jeff (18 months). $1.7B is a drop in the bucket for her...so while it's great that

I tried Deepin on my 4K laptop a few months ago to try it out and see how "beautiful" it was. Unfortunately I'm a laptop hoarder and when I go to reach for a laptop to use I tend to pull one that is running Kubuntu instead.

This is an article that is poorly written and leaves out many things. One being that 2/3 of those unemployed or underemployed have been getting more money than they did when they were working (not "in some cases" as the arti

Most of the time online classes cost more than in person classes. This is not a factor of cost to give the class, but a factor of paying more for the convenience of taking the class online. I'm currently enrolled in a post-bac CS pro

Another oversimplification in the title of an article, but at least this one removed the term "black teenager" like the article I had seen on Yahoo. Author seems to have most information from the mother of the girl and less infor
