That is misplaced. It is robust science and engineering that brings about consistent increases in productivity and introduction of new technologies. The cost of this science is extremely small compared to social assistance programs or the

This has turned out to be a really interesting failure. To point out just one aspect, back in the 1970s there were hints that New Hampshire was leaning toward legalization of cannabis. Libertarian party meetups often focused on legalizati

It's a great start, but also shows how driving is not a navigation challenge as much as it is a socialization challenge. If I drove right up to some responders dealing with an emergency and repeatedly refused to stop then I could be i

Not sure if this was intended as sly humor or not. Between Covered CA and Medi-Cal health care is already relatively cheap or even free to those with the lowest incomes. And contrary to what critics claim, progress is being made with the

Taxes tend to discourage things, so that kind of makes sense. However, the California Legislative Analysts Office has produced a detailed report showing that this practice of dedicating taxed funds to specific spending has already gone bad

Really interesting that I have so far had hardly any use for code generators except when some glue was needed. Possibly this new revolution may be headed in multiple conflicting directions simultaneously?

Kind of interesting that I spend way too much time on Reddit but have not seen this. This is likely because I mostly read small and specialized subreddits and avoid junk like I am allergic to it or something. I would never have found the

It is sad that opposition is not being acknowledged. There was a determined effort to restore Canada's tariffs to what they were that passed the Senate and was then blocked by an unusual maneuver from the speaker of the house which in

That is easily disproved. A good counterexample is in the book Copy This by Paul Orfalea. He had trouble in school and couldn't hold a job so he started a copy place. This became Kinko's after his nickname and grew large in par

So called barefoot shoes, which are notable for their thin, flat soles and wide foot boxes, are not based on an appeal to nature at all. Constricting the foot and movement of the toes results in visible changes to feet and complications li

Actually, there are a number of ways in which pigs and humans share physiology which makes us susceptible to shared disease vectors. Perhaps most obvious is our skin. Pigs and humans are the only land mammals who have what amounts to sea
