People had a lot of reasons to dislike Elon Musk, much of it is self inflicted, but this has little to do with slowness of the FAA.

FAA's slowness is different than other part of the government targeting spacex for separate issues.

Multistory parking lots are more expensive, and ultimately unnecessary if you don't need parking in the first place. First, determine how much you can eliminate car related infrastructure and implement infrastructure that are more effi

One way driverless cars might help is that they reduce the amount of land that has to be given over to carparks, especially in the US. Now, you have a different problem: more cars on the roads. And everyone tend to do the same thing at th

I am pretty sure we'll run into the problem of too much heat long before we need more power.

For some reason, I only ever hear this argument from folks with DUIs. For the record, I don't drink. One thing I have noticed though - problem drinkers are amazing at making it always someone else’s fault. It is their fault and the

If it was easy to live in a society without drunk driving, then it would be done. Saying that some people don't get a DUI conviction is tantamount tolerating the conditions our society is in.

This is not true in my experience, Seattle has a pretty solid bus system and we still felt like we were having to plan around them even though they generally would stop every 15 minutes. You could not count on them 100% either. Occasionall

If you increases the income of workers that's going to go to right back into housing, unless you made changes on how the housing market works.

Drunk driving is a systematic problem, caused by drinking culture and car dependency. A DUI conviction is something you could judge someone personally, but causes mayhem on a societal level.

Lifestyle inflation, urban planning, and choices makes living a quality life more difficult than it should be. You're able to afford a larger house and a car or two, but you're also spending more money than necessary on transporta

It does costs more to build in highly urban areas, but American problems are well...American.

The lack of side skirt is an important issue, though human eyes are certainly more important. We do not just rely on just one system to keep us safe on the road, but multiple systems. Road design, trucking regulations, the software or lack

Regardless, someone has to buy the brand new car first before you can buy it used. Imagine that people were more responsible in their spending habits. The demand for new cars would drop like a rock, and we would have to transform the way ur

The problem with listening to economists is that if your only tool is interest rates everything looks like a loan. Economists don't only study interest rate and banking?

Maybe we should bring back the concept of the gentleman(gentleperson for the modern era) scientist, who are both independent and wealthy. Charles Darwin, for example, was born into wealth and doesn't really need to work for a living.

Carved in what sense? Making art has more to do with how you think than how you coordinate your hands.

I don't get where you get that idea of not charging for development. That said, I basically never seen anyone charge for a distribution. I figured that people think there's no point, so they just don't. Now, charging for deve

I don't think his position is extreme, just impractical to implement for the time being. Time and time again showed me why free and open source software is important, but they keep lagging behind their competitors in term of funding.

All this violence is unnecessary. We could have gained our freedom from the British like Canada instead.

Of course you are free to use whatever words you want to use to means what you want to mean, but we're talking about social norms and communication clarity. Open source has a specific meaning to specific communities and I see no reason

My personal opinion is that by misusing the term open source, you're causing confusion. Open source is the term that I understood to be OSI definition since childhood. It would be like someone changing the term 'anime' to als

Nobody is demanding that you should open source it. Just don't call it open source if you are not going to make it open source.

I think it's important to increase our range on our knowledge. You aren't always going to have an expert's opinion to evaluate every piece of information coming at you, and there's only so much that an authoritative sour

Patents are merely tools that get you on the negotiating table. It doesn't guarantee you a business or fame. If you aren't already famous or wealthy or connected, there is no guarantee that you are able to acquire wealth through t
