This isn't the first time AirBNB for cars has been done. Turo/RelayRides has been doing it for a few years, and most of reports I've heard have been positive. It involves the same magnitude of concerns you get with renting ou

Every urban area fits the bill. Once you have a dense enough city, night life and progressive politics are automatically included. Good transit, universities, high speed internet are all common enough. I personally think there will be a dec

If you represent yourself accurately and make the selection process as transparent as possible for women, you will have success on Tinder. This optimizes the problem for women, which seems misplaced given that women already have an abundanc

As a conventionally unattractive guy (short, non-white), Tinder has been abysmal for me. Match rate of 2/500 swipes, back when the auto-swipe apps worked. And then most of the most matches were horrifically unattractive. OkCupid produc

Coming from LA, whenever I visit SF I always use transit. With Google Maps on phone it works amazingly well, comparably to NYC MTA. I don't miss my car in SF at all.

90% of visitors at Vegas lose money. 70% leave happy. OTOH I still daydream about getting rich even without gambling.

How are you reducing the boom? Are you widening part of the forebody to increase the local air temp & mach no to weaken the shock? What about redirecting the shock?

How many people did SpaceX start with? Certainly not the thousands of workers it has today. Everything you said about requiring a "national scale corp" was said about launching rockets to orbit as well. Looking at Boom's rost

Nothing. Upstream flow stagnates at the leading edge, excess bug splatter there attests to that.

Ti isn't an exceptionally hard metal, it's just very strong for its weight. So the fan (and the rest of the engine) would take significant damage.

There isn't really any "turbulence" behind any modern wing in typical flight regimes. They're very low drag, so flow off the trailing edge is as smooth as the upstream flow.

One thing to remember is that commercial jets have very thin aluminum skin. It's very unlike your car door which is typically thicker steel sheet. When jets crash the wreckage is shredded metal laying flat on the ground. So they'r

When my cousin visited the DPRK, she said that all the paper there was like tissue, and that anything made there of plastic would shatter when dropped. Really limited manufacturing abilities.

Is big city life that fulfilling? For me all the high end cuisine and art galleries started to blur into each other. It was like constant stimulation, very sugary, and I got burnt out. So I quit my job, moved into my truck and will just ski

OTOH the US has been driven by the Protestant work ethic for centuries. Many religions praise hard work and not just savoring the fruits of life, so an inverse correlation between faith and devotion to labor seems unlikely.

Plus you'd see this 1-foot wide conspicuous object hovering in front of them, since you can't project a toxic gas in a targeted way from afar. You don't need swarms to release vaporized agents. Just one low flying crop duster
