Apologies for being a bit pedantic, but I had never heard of the phrase 'keystone species' and went on to look it up. While an elephant could be (and perhaps is) a keystone species, I don't find that the status of being such

Right. Not to mention in the case of Columbus you have 60,000 students, proximity to other large cities, room for growth, a nice little airport ripe to be ruined by heavy business traffic, and it's the state capitol. A company like Ama

One one hand I agree. On the other hand, how is a state like Indiana supposed to attract a company like Amazon?

So it was meaningless still. There’s nothing to be interest about here unless unfounded clickbait is a hobby.

Sorry but not buying it. The selection of even 7 categories, let alone suggesting that such categories should be equally weighted is unreliable at best. The nations self-reporting the data is completely irrelevant and, again, at best unreli

GDP isn't a good way to measure economic output. Nor is it relevant here.

Because of federal regulations. I have previously worked in an investment bank as well and you are not allowed to day trade, you're only allowed to trade during certain periods, and for my employer you were only allowed to have retirem

I've seen this come up a few times and let me explain why this is not a good idea. Excluding MAD theory, if you're the United States, or the UK, or France, or whomever - your nuclear weapons are the great equalizer and keep you sa

Any good recommendations for recipes to check out? Preferably a big list? :)

Here we go again... Ok a couple of quick quotes: "I say 'OK Google, goodbye when I leave the house to turn off the lights" k. I just turn off the lights. Why do I need a Google Home to do that? Why can't I do that with H

Would like to see more investment in manufacturing here in the United States. Apple has to recognize that unstable relations between the United States, the EU, and China (along with South Korea and others)could leave them in a precarious po

Well, mostly, because capitalist systems work. Look at Sweden, or Germany, or Japan, or the United States (largely) or Canada. These are all capitalist economies. Communism for a technological society doesn’t work in any capacity because of

Does UPenn accept average intelligence people like myself? I think Susan is great, and she did amazing work, but she's also clearly top 1-5% brilliant. These stories give people like me false hope. As if I can pick myself up by my inte

Depends on your perspective. The reason these other products are “cheap” is because you’re making up for the dollar cost with your psychological well-being and being advertised to by the world’s best psychologists and cognitive scientists.

This is nonsense. You can be critical of libertarianism but this is not a “reason that libertarianism doesn’t prevail”. You can easily find reviews online - airline x has bad service, airline y has small seats, etc. and then make a choice w

Basically, yeah, they don't make the OS. I think the parent comment was more aimed at software companies. Though, you could look at it from the opposite point of view as well.

Well the headphone jack is a step forward. But I agree with the wireless charging.

One of the issues is that running Android software on an iPhone inherently breaks a lot of the things that you love about iPhone. The reason is because of Apple’s verticals integration. Running Android would negate this and likely result in

Any you know why this won't happen? Republicans don't want a national ID and Democrats don't want to anger their base. I am not a huge fan of the idea (from the Republican side although I'm not a Republican) but at this

I have used that landscape document as a very informative point of reference for the last couple of months. Thank you for creating it.

Why do they do staged rollouts instead of just releasing the OS for all ala iOS?

That's like saying the Model T was built a long time ago, so a new Ferrari isn't anything special.

Consider donating time or money to underfunded public schools or community colleges. A lot of these programs are chronically underfunded and teach those who are most likely disadvantaged in the first place.
