5th largest country by what measure? It's definitely not even in the top 50 by population nor by the territory.

In the man*hours building is cheaper nowadays but the nominal cost of labor is much more thus the total cost is higher. The labor costs raises because supply has constricted. I figure the reason is that many choose degrees in random subject

C++ programs do not fail 30% of the time though. Safety concerns matter when the program is actively being attacked, the reason libjpeg had these bugs in the first place was that it works just fine in absence of attacks so nobody bothered t

It's funny because the "trickle down" metaphor has been made up by a Democrat humorist [1]. On the same note, why would you think it was made up for Republicans? 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trick

Do finance firms pay the awarded bonus in full or vest it over time like most other business? If latter, I imagine you'd get your previously awarded bonus, you'd just stop accumulating bonuses to be paid in the future, which makes

The problem is not the exhaust being too hot, but the heating element being too cold. Gas furnace, for example, burns gas at temperatures much higher than that of boiling water.

The special liquid is running through a system of tubes, called "coils" so it could exchange heat with the air. Keeping comfortable temperatures inside is also a function of the inside coil's temperature, which depends on the

"Cooling" and "heating" just means the inside coil is colder/warmer than the outside, it does not mean the inside temperature will be comfortable for everyone. Neither while cooling nor while heating.

I am not sure anyone is being forced to use an app, I imagine the door opens just fine with a clicker and with the button in the car. The problem is with the integration with other "smart" systems, I imagine.

SUVs are not pickup trucks though and have better visibility of the road ahead (due to higher eye level and higher headlights) than cars and minivans. As for internal storage, I am content with the internal storage in a midsize SUV already.

Sure, even compact cars 20 years ago were smaller than compact cars today. You cannot practically suggest people drive 20-30 y.o. vehicles, for one there are not enough of those.

Minivans are not small, if you have problems with the SUV size then why is a minivan suddenly okay? It's the same size car with a differently styled body and without towing capacity. E.g. Toyota Sienna is the same width and length as B

I, for one. Even though I live in a house with a driveway where I charge my PHEV, I had driven it too many times with zero charge to be wanting to get a non-hybrid electric car. While some of these times might not have happened with a bigge

Malls - yes, outdoor malls - no.

But there are no parking lots to remove in these first-floor retail spaces so you cannot increase density. The outdoor shopping malls, on the other hand, with enormous parking lots and no housing nearby somehow manage to get a lot of custom

I can only talk about the observable reality, where a retail shop without parking is a very low revenue enterprise even in an expensive area. E.g. West Los Angeles has plenty of dinky shops with no customer in sight next to busiest places i

These retail places have no parking at all usually. Some have parking in the garage of the building where they are located but this usually involves driving around the block, taking one specific entrance and then driving inside the garage t

The "StrongTowns/NotJustBikes" crowd populating these threads believes that the lack of parking actually increases a retail shop's patronage.

If you define cross product through minors, then you can expand it to any dimension, just with the different number of arguments, n-1 for R^n, 1 in R^2: [{x,y},] = {y,-x} for example. 3 in R^4, etc. Going to have the same properties as R^3
