Right, but hiring 40 scientists away isn't going to reduce that money. Even if CMU doesn't get it, it's not like they're going to save it or give it to some other department or program. At best, it goes to another instit

All players are paid in USD, regardless of where the team is located. I think American teams have better players because of the living/playing conditions. There isn't a huge expectation to win every single year and for the most pa

Compared to Meercat, there's a better UI, more ways to explore users to find new content and not as much of a blank slate for new users. After using each less than 5 times, I sort of prefer periscope.

couldn't AirBnB just restrict rentals to 90 nights/year in portland? or couldn't the city just look for rentals that are available for more than 90 nights/year?

Not sure about bodegas. Sure, they may remodel and start carrying more organic/natural/whatever food and the prices may go up, but the small corner store will always be around in nyc, regardless of neighborhood. Last year there w

not to turn this into a debate about street safety, but it's rarely prosecuted unless there's another crime attached (being drunk/leaving the scene/etc) or some motive beyond "i wasn't paying attention".

This article really points out how out of touch with citizens the PBA really is. Not writing summonses and only arresting people "when they have to" is what many people have wanted for more than a decade.

From what I've read gangs where I live (Chicago), they don't get as involved in drug sales as one might think. It's less about drug territories and more about representing the block one grew up on. This American Life did a pr

that's certainly not the case. If anything kids not being able to put their phones down has made it easier to make threats and start violence as this wired article points out: http://www.wired.com/2013/09/gang
