I believe LA had an explosion with fatalities years ago while digging a tunnel. There are also issues with subsidence in the area (sink holes).

> I'd rather just work and spend my money and experience things during that time. That makes sense if the things you enjoy cost a lot. But not everyone needs a lot of money to do things they enjoy. For those people, the real cost of

That's the point of the investigation. Many things could have happened. Maybe the driver fell asleep, maybe he tried to move the wheel and it got stuck. Maybe the car slipped on a patch and had nothing to do with autopilot. We don&#x27

Which is why they keep trying to push the app on you. I've gotten emails from Facebook saying a friend wants me to download messenger. Like, huh? Why would they care if I'm using an app or a browser?

The labels we assign start to have significance. 12 has significance as lunch time to most. 9 am may be when business starts. When I say they are just re-labeling numbers, I mean that if someone now gets hungry at 1pm instead of 12, that in

Let's say that society decides that 8 am is appropriate to start business. Most businesses open around that time. Let's say to provide a reference, that 8am is 1 hour after sunrise on June 10. By pushing the time forward, 8am is n

By 'earlier', I mean that in terms of our biological clocks. Some people are prone to sleeping later after the sun goes down and getting up later while others are the opposite.

This is really just re-labeling the numbers for time. So now, 9 am is called 10 am. Alternatively, they are forcing people to wake up earlier but this effect may not last for long. By 'earlier' I mean it in the sense of our biolog

Maybe a naive question, but couldn't they just stay in armored vehicles that are bullet proofed and agree not to fire until they are fired upon?

Dictionary makers used to do something similar. They would make up words to detect if a competitor was copying them. Map makers before the internet also did this- make up places to detect copying. I don't know if they still do this. I

Is Amazon forcing us to install their products even if we don't use it, and crippling our OS if we try to remove it? No. Is Amazon taking control of small companies for their IP and then using it to sue competitors with frivolous lawsu

Does this account for the size of the pieces? Every time they fragment, the pieces would get smaller making it less likely to hit another.

I think there is a difference here. With Tulips, all the buyers were people intending to sell at a higher price. Initially, yes people bought them for the product itself. But it came to point where all the buyers were just interested in res

For at least 10 years it's been known that alzheimer's victims show deposits of aluminum in their brains. There was no conclusive cause-effect shown though. But I've been avoiding aluminum for ten years now - to be on the saf

You included an interesting link. I think the difference between someone who has not yet boarded and someone who has already boarded is significant in terms of the time, effort and expectations of the individual.

"The goal here is to use 1990 and 2000 Census data on home prices to predict home prices in 2010. If those models prove robust, we can use the model to forecast for 2020." Selectively picking factors that worked in the past to pre

I don't think humans evolve to be inaccurate - I think a better description is that they evolve to not all be the same. If you look at two species, the one that is very uniform is more likely to die out over the long term than the one

Personally, I think the best way to learn to code for someone who has talent for it is project Euler (projecteuler.net). No dependencies, no IDEs, no graphics and no gimmicks. Very short, clear, discrete problems that can be solved using an
