Driving at top speed just means you wait longer at the next red light. Average speed will probably not drop at all.

If the only kids going to college are doing it to get educated, and not to avoid getting "loser" stamped on their forehead, then it should be no surprise that a smaller portion of each cohort goes to college.

The athletes staying poor doesn't bother me. Whatever your sport, there is a pro-option if that's what you want to do. The construction workers getting cheated of their wages in Sochi, and deported from Russia, however, is an obsc

As a veteran of one algo shop, I have this to say: Play with the data all you like. Don't try to trade on it if you don't really know what you're doing. (Or, just recklessly trade other people's money. It's fun.) Wh

1. Offsite backups onto unpowered hardware are SOP for big banks. 2. Pretty much every transaction with the bank has a counterparty that is outside the bank. It would be recoverable. But very very painful.

It's still being written because Jim Davis's chief motivation in starting Garfield was to do something about the struggling economy in his home town of Muncie, Indiana. The strip's mediocrity is a secure source of income for

The SPY ticker does account for dividends, and I do believe it beats Trump.

You're paying for SOME of it. Some highways area already being (in effect) written off by neglect. And the more load we take off the highways, for example, by diverting people onto tracks, the less you have to pay for highway upkeep

Self driving car lanes still means rubber wheels on a blacktop car lane. Blacktop does not last. The maintenance costs for our road system far outstrip our commitment to maintain them even today. HSR, though expensive to install, has an adv

We can thank the GOP for having a political system that will happily spend far more money on far worse infrastructure: blacktop highways that have nowhere near the longevity of train tracks.

Seems overly paranoid. The only people who can gain from the leakage of proprietary data from their competitors also have a lot to lose if they make use of such data and get caught at it.

Massachusetts is doing that. Every outlying town is now required to select an area where they will now zone for denser housing with offices and shops. If they don't, Beacon Hill (the state government) will select it for them. It's

That is Somerville's biggest problem right now: very tight and inappropriate zoning and building regulations, but they only take effect in if you demolish your house and build something new. So Somerville is frozen in amber. A few year

It's easier to understand when you visit Somerville. Somerville is awesome. It leaves you wondering why we can;t have more towns like it. And this is the answer: because building Somerville today would be illegal.

Insane. The French prefer depending on Nigerois uranium instead of Portuguese solar? Unreal. Learn a new thing every day.. Thanks

A pity. Portuguese solar can take a big bite out of French peak demand. The sun sets on Marseilles, and everyone's coming home for dinner, but there's still some sun in PT.

In parts New Mexico and Texas, if you're driving and see someone walking, it's considered proper to stop and ask if he's hydrated. Never mind whether he has a reason to be walking there.

In both those cases, there should be no problem with letting the person's attorney know what this is about. If it's a clearance investigation, it's a no brainer. The government has no problem leaving voice mail in Peter'
