Why do you assume that homeless women are homeless because of abuse and not drug addiction, while homeless men are homeless because of drugs or PTSD? These assumptions seem incredibly sexist, especially in light of the fact that the curren

Healthcare costs have ballooned for much the same reason as university tuition. There are 2 university administrators for every professor vs 10 hospital administrators for every doctor. http://www.chronicle.com/interactives

“We’re going to be co-CEOs” — just decide who’s ultimately running the thing — the company needs a tie-breaker to move fast — I can’t think of one great company that had co-CEOs. How about Atlassian?

Airlines already take your money when you cancel. They overbook because so many people cancel that they have vacant seats, meaning they can sell X% of seats twice.

It might be possible for the government to get a court order compelling Apple to turn on iCloud syncing for particular individuals as a way to get around device encryption. Maybe that is what is going on here.

It is not the cost of the ride, it is the fact that an Uber driver will actually show up. In many cities if you call a taxi company at 2am, no one will answer.

I would like to thank whoever changed the title of this post. The old title led this comment section to the generic patents are bad discussion while not addressing the substance of the article. It was clear the people commenting hadn&#x27

Its actually even better than that. Because the tourist season in Salt Lake City is winter, there are no homeless when the tourists are there.

I think you need to read your own article. Its conclusion states, "Utah experienced a less dramatic, but still impressive 71 percent decrease in chronic homelessness since 2005." Are the numbers slightly inflated? Sure. Is it

Salt Lake City has a lot of seasonal homeless, people who come for the summer and leave for the winter. Seasonal homeless are not counted as chronic homeless. There are no homeless people anywhere else in the state so the ones you see in S

If there is so much octopus, why do I rarely see it on a menu?

Utah has one. I think they are more common when the non freeway road has very high levels of traffic. An even more efficient interchange is the roundabout interchange https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundabout_interchang

Freight ships are actually very green when compared to airplanes, cars and trains. You have to look at emissions per kg per mile.

I think if CO2 emissions were being gamed, we would see that the gasoline models were also affected.

Did you ask how much NOx your last vehicle emitted when you bought it? Did you see any advertising about NOx emissions? Do you know if/why NOx is considered a pollutant? Did you know that NOx is a substantial constituent of whipped

I don't think VW has hurt their customers in any way. They gave their customers fuel economy and power that was not possible under EPA regulations. I think if anything the current VW Diesels will be more valuable in future as subsequ

Well before this bill (yesturday) bulk collection of phone data was illegal. Now it is legal.

I don't think any money paid to NREC would end up in any academic program at CMU. NREC is owned by CMU, but is operated completely independently.

These are not tenure track or even academic positions. NREC is owned by CMU but it is not part of any academic program at CMU. There are no students working at NREC. NREC does technology commercialization not fundamental research. NREC&

They lured staff away from NREC. I don't think this will affect the academic programs of Carnegie Mellon at all. NREC works on technology commercialization not fundamental research.

Great link I particularly like the part that says, "P = NP if and only if NPI is empty." seems to indicate that if there are any NP Intermediate problems P would be proven not to equal NP.
