Household income isn't just married households. It includes cohabiting couples, something that is more common now.

Large crawler cranes? There are small ones around London, about the same size as truck cranes but very rarely do I see one the size of these ones on New York.

Yeah I very rarely see crawler cranes here in London. The only times I see them are to disassemble tower cranes. I wonder if this has to do with the size of streets in New York vs London. In New York most streets are wide enough to accomm

Almost certainly done by host blacklisting. Even ad blockers on computers usually do this. It's just easier.

Every plant has a slightly different need but generally speaking you can grow plants very efficiently if you use the entire red spectrum and 10-20% of the blue spectrum. That allows for significant energy savings.

Grains will be the last thing to change and that won't be for a very long time. Also you have to take into account increased yields, faster grow times, lower fertiliser, pesticide, herbicide and tractor fuel costs. Your sanity check is

Where are you getting 10 square miles of solar farm to support 1 square mile of dense indoor farming? Energy can be stored or brought in from other areas during the night. And no you can't stack in a greenhouse for the same reason tha

You don't need 50% efficient solar collectors. That'd be the case if 1 meter squared of plants had 1 meter squared of leaves. Even at full growth there are large gaps and for most of the growing time there are even larger gaps.

When a citizen has made their way to usually the largest, most well connected city in the continent already it's not much of a rescue. And yes they were expecting a Saving Private Ryan moment.

I find it interesting that immigrants are blamed for this. Lets take the hypothetical situation of a baby boom. 5 years down the line our hypothetical city needs twice as many schools yet doesn't have them. Now do we blame the parent

And people still grow plants by hand. The future is still going to be automated farms just as the present day is mechanised farms. The advantages that automated warehouse farms give will be too great to not do. Faster grow cycles, no need

Sugar cane is very much the exception. Most crop plants (which have over the years been selected for efficiency indirectly) manage 1-2%. No one is suggesting growing sugar cane indoors yet, just purely on the basis of it's height you

Most plants photosynthesise on a very narrow band of light. It's actually more efficient to generate electricity using solar panels and reemit using specific wavelength leds. Plants are around 2% efficient while solar panels are arou

This demonstrates a tragedy that happens all too often. How many talented people out there have their talents wasted because of barriers like this. How many people can't fulfil their potential because they're born into a poor fa

You can bet that if outright combined arms conflict had suddenly erupted in the city various developed militaries of the world would have provided protection for their citizens to leave. That's visibly demonstrated by every civil war.

So people went to a port or airport. It's not really a rescue as much as just having a few more planes picking people up than usual.

I highly doubt there are many Indians in Yemen. It's a poor country and doesn't have many migrant labourers like the UAE or Bahrain do. Also the Americans I knew seemed to expect helicopters to come pick them up and all that. Sa

I lived in Nigeria during a period of violence when thousands died. One of my enduring memories was the reactions of the Americans living there at the time. They were so sure that the army would come and save them and when it didn't

Germany has spent the most on solar subsidies of any country. Don't make this an exclusive situation. They can do both.

I think the reason 2% is viewed as low compared to expectations is not understanding how it compounds. 2% means a doubling of the economy in 35 years. 2% means that in the space of an average lifespan the economy will be almost 5 times la

I never consciously inhibited subvocalization, it just must have happened at some point as I got faster and faster at reading. I think it just comes down to speed. I comprehend the word or phrase before I can even begin a subvocalisation

It is almost certainly the internal monologue. I can read in two ways. One in which I have the words in my head as I read them and the other in which I just 'comprehend' entire sections of sentences at once. In the second there

If they want to convince shareholders they can share the information with them. What they don't need is a separate public body. Also shareholders in general don't direct strategy. If profits are coming in they are happy and if i

What saddens me about the rise of cars is the loss of freedom. No longer can you travel where you want when you want on your horse, subject to the availability of grass and no cliffs. Now you will be limited the ares around gas stations,

Is it necessarily a bad thing to have a smaller finance sector? The talent won't really do nothing but would go to other sectors. "Winning" finance just means that you're more exposed to the financial crashes. IE compa
