Didn't mean to condescend. Anyway, Paris has 21,498 people/km^2 [0], twice that of New York (10,933 people/km^2), and without an equivalent Manhattan. For the majority of large cities in the USA (14 of the top 20), the given

That's the point. Skyscrapers are a rarity in Paris - now go look up the density of the city proper.

We've been demanding that people "level with" contemporary architecture since the 1950s, when I think they'd really like to just have a picnic or go to work without feeling like they're trapped in a maze of damp con

Maybe that's true, but it also makes no sense for me to be interrupted every 15 minutes by someone asking me "I need you to restart your $deployment for something I'm doing" while I'm trying to develop.

This isn't a fair comparison in the US, where the majority of cities' downtowns are skyscrapers standing alone in a vast sea of parking lots and freeways. Compare Dallas to something like Paris, especially on population density.

I thought that's exactly what the "Overcoming Fears" section of TFA did, to wit: the fear of (1) beauty [which is for "sentimental traditionalists"], (2) ornament, (3) tradition [because tradition requires effort, o

Before anyone dismisses this as a one-sided attack on socialism through the language of architecture, "[W]hy so many on the left are wedded to defending unpopular schools of architectural and urban design is less immediately obvious.&q

Charlotte's interesting because it grew fairly slowly until 1970, but has almost quadrupled in population since then. If you look at it on a map, the downtown core has a regular grid pattern, but the outer regions are a chaos where the

ArenaNet were in a tight bind here. Price was using her personal Twitter account to make a stand on some issue, on behalf of her employer. They could have given her a warning, and announced that her statement didn't actually represen

Don't go to the Yebisu brewery in Tokyo then - they pour a demonstration glass for you and let you watch as the head extrudes itself several inches past the top of the glass, like Arsenio Hall's haircut.

OK, touche - it's true that an Alcubierre drive could be used for time travel, but it's not necessarily implied, whereas it is for an object actually travelling beyond the speed of light. The discoverer of the method itself [0]

The "warp drive" they are discussing, and which was so hyped in 2010 or so, doesn't involve FTL, it involves contraction and expansion of spacetime as the ship moves in freefall. So no time travel.

Boston makes me sad, too. Look at the giant chunk that was torn out for the Government Center. You can see how windswept and barren it looks from space.

Slashing benefits and wages. Making long hours and unpaid overtime the industry norm. Getting rid of whole departments and replacing them with third-party contractors. These all seem uncompetitive for businesses, but it must seem easy to do

The last sentence is the big problem. I feel like a lot of industries didn't just make the best of the advantageous labour market in the last 10 years, they reshaped themselves to become dependent on it (i.e., on cheap and easily-repla
