I always had this idea for a highway conversion that makes it into a sort of a railway for individual cars. SO imagine you drive on your local streets until you get to this "highway". Then via some mechanism (something like the dr

Are there any medical studies to show and measure the value of a standing desk? I realize that sitting for 10 hours a day is disastrous to a person's health, but how much benefit does a standing desk provide when compared to getting up

I love the sound of an entrepreneur who speaks without the pressures and hype of other people's money behind them.

I guess I'd have to disagree. People are typically not "walking around", they are mostly walking from A to B at fast pace. Nathan Philips Square might be an exception due to the skating rink. Also last few days might be an an

You're right there is an element of that, but I think I'm fairly objective about Toronto because I wasn't born here and I tend to visit a lot of other cities as well. At the end of the day, you simply can't get around th

As a Toronto resident for over 18 years, I just have to say don't visit Toronto in the dead of winter. It's drab, cold and uninteresting. There are lots of festivals and things do in the summer, but I can't honestly agree wit

It'll be interesting to see how North American markets will respond tomorrow. Is there any indication that these wild swings are caused on purpose? I mean they did occur after the Chinese devalued their currency again, so did they not

But I don't think PH is good for early adopters at all... Unless your product is directly aimed at startup founders or angels and VCs. For anything else, you'll get the ultimate cross section of tire kickers - people trying out hu

I imagine it's mostly for companies looking to attract investors, not customers.

I know purists and more experienced developers will disagree, but for a clueless beginner like myself with no real-life connections to the developer community, it's awesome how external projects have been integrated into official Djang

What is the best blog app to use with Django-CMS? I've been using Zinnia with an older release, but I see that your demo uses the new Aldryn Newsblog app. I'm looking to do a small redesign along with re-deploying a website with 3

The way you formulated that is fascinating and made me understand the whole debate a little better. The strict order in which we grasp things does indeed indicate that these basic skills are perhaps not left to chance waiting until the corr

The thing that strikes me in that video is that the Tesla is driving really fast considering the right lane is completely stopped. A human driver would never be driving that fast. Taking into account familiarity with typical human behaviour

It seems highly unlikely that this decision was made based on personal artistic preferences of the CIA employees in charge of this program. Like when the question came up "Hey which art movement are we going to prop up with millions of

Although that's mostly true (even though I'm certain there is a history of persecuted artists/writers/activists in the US), what does that have to do with the original article? Nobody is contesting that United States was

Coming from Soviet Union yes it's very destructive that Socialist Realism was the officially state-sponsored art movement. But how is that different from what the CIA is doing here. If they really wanted to be a patron of the arts and

I also recall the problems with exploding Firestone tires on specifically Ford vehicles from the early 2000's that probably killed around 250 people and injured thousands. Firestone was fined $500,000 and I can't seem to find a re

This statement from the article strikes me as a bit of a stretch: Would Abstract Expressionism have been the dominant art movement of the post-war years without this patronage? The answer is probably yes. Equally, it would be wrong to sugg

I guess even Michelangelo had the Medicis, but I wonder if something like this will influence the auction prices for various modern art. Does a painting like this http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/images/h2/h2_57.

I wasn't suggesting that there are people out there who actively want to destroy our quality of life. All things being equal, most foreigners couldn't care less how we make our living as long as it's not off their backs. Thro

The optimist in me likes to at least entertain the notion that the large scale effort to justify, sanitize and in some cases morbidly celebrate the failing of the long term US foreign policy has some part to play in shaping public opinion.

Voting in the US reminds me of that old parenting tactic of an illusion of choice for kids who don't want to go to sleep: "Do you want to wear the blue pajamas or the red pajamas?" Feeling empowered by having a say in the com

WSJ, CNN, Fortune all lining up this latest PR story line right on cue. It's embarrassing to see the flailing of the US intelligence apparatus trying to take attention away from their own abuses of power.
