If the article posted last week is to be believed [1], which I do, then transportation makes up a relatively small portion of emissions (14%). Also, the demand for gasoline is very inelastic. Very little driving done today is for pleasure,

Why do you train to failure? Very few training programs that I have seen encourage lifters to regularly train to failure. I think westside barbell's program may, but that is for people competing in powerlifting. Also, it's my un

O'Reilly has a weekly Fintech newsletter which is pretty interesting. It isn't weekly like most of O'Reilly's newsletters, but that can be a good thing as it doesn't have to stretch to find interesting articles. ht

Totally off topic from the feature request: You might want to include the 1060 in your list of graphics cards if you are willing to include the 970m (laptop version). The newer laptop 1060 is somewhere around 5 to 10% slower than the desk

R for Data Science is a good R equivalent by Hadley Wickham. It also acts as a high level overview of the hadley/tidy verse (ggplot2, tidyr, dplyr, etc.). R4DS is free online [1]. [1] http://r4ds.had.co.nz/

I've always had a hard time understanding pipes, so it may just be that the concept will take more time for me to grok. I thought that the little bunny foo foo example in section 18.2 was really hard to grasp. I think that doing a simi
