You're confusing suburb and rural- rural areas have well water and septic tanks, 2-lane roads that eventually lead to the Walmart near the interstate. And the money is state and local, not federal, unless you have a senator that reall

Catholics (and especially Jesuits) were given the task of baptizing natives and turning them into Christians. The church often came into conflict with the ruling class over their treatment. Other Christian churches often had the same obli

Nerds have been poised to rule the world for about as long as Linux has been ready to break out onto the desktop.

I guess I'm assuming the primary use of airbnb is 'rent my house', not 'stay in my guest room'. By offering both at the same place they really do seem to be muddying the waters.

The article describes a whole home rented out, not occupied by the owner, unclear whether it's a private residence.

A hotel is private property too, doesn't mean they can discriminate based on race in the US.

Don't know why parent is being downvoted- when you offer a room to the public it is no longer your private home or bedroom.

I say we take it further- France should have to support movies in Languedoc and Alsatian and Breton as well. Surely the French nation can only benefit from such diversity. After all, New Guinea has 6000 languages surely such diversity of

Yeah, I would argue that stoned drivers make everyone else a less safe driver.

Sooo, what if he was stealing from a soup kitchen? Or if the prosecutor could prove that there was food available through charity? Or that the man had money, but didn't want to spend it on food? Seems like an awfully broad precedent

I use Big Bang Theory to try to convince my daughters that, despite what their schools are telling them, society values science so little that they can look forward to being in their 40's and still having to share an apartment with a r

It's not just military history, but other 'dead white guy' topics like Classical history (see Victor Davis Hansen). Most blame 'liberalization' to some degree, e.g. Vietnam making military topics less 'gloriou

Are there laws which prohibit the actual taking of drugs? I thought they all targeted manufacture, distribution, and sale, which are definitely in the purview of the state to limit. I guess simple possession would be the grey area here, bu

The US's latest anti-satellite test struck from higher altitude than the target, aiming the debris field toward the atmosphere where it quickly de-orbited.

K&R? DHH? Matz? Joe Armstrong? Guido? Larry Wall? I'd say those all have bigger 'followings' than Rich Hickey, or at least did back in their time.

You're right to be concerned- while responsible adults won't smoke around kids, plenty of irresponsible ones will. And there have been instances of kids bring consumables to school. And there's also a vibe here that weed is

Tax money hasn't appeared to make it to schools or roads, but that's not really a priority here (after all, Mississippi spends less). Commercial real estate prices in Denver have been driven up to the point where it's driven

Most of the old (valuable) stuff is saddle stitched- pull the staples, scan, restaple, no one would know.

$50 is not free. I worked at a print shop- a D&D module would take like 10 minutes to scan.

It may be intentional- it reminds me of an ad from a 1990's MC68000 magazine.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a higher per-capita concentration of non-coding 'hackers' than in Appalachia- making do and making things do what they're not supposed to are pretty much the defining regional charac

Because you don't want someone clearing out the FDA, FAA, or whatever when they're elected and making their third cousin an air traffic controller because he's too drunk to keep his current job at Denny's

The author is ignorant of both 3D printing and traditional manufacturing methods, and as far as I can tell, how intellectual property works. Nothing he describes couldn't be done by someone with $20 and a 40% off coupon at Michaels.
