This isn't correct. These articles were posted 8 days apart from one another with nothing but positive news inbetween. That's not going to shift TSLA from a must-buy to a must-sell... What OP missed was that the author is actually

I reread 1984 this year and it gave me trouble sleeping for a few weeks afterward. The writing is so perfectly concise that your mind adds visceral details that fill everything in for you. It makes the environment (political, physical, econ

Plenty of Uber drivers only drive customers when they're already heading from one place to another. Since you pick what fares you want to take, a professional leaving from Fairfax to, say, NW DC can exclusively accept a fare going from

I don't think anyone in this subthread is suggesting Twitter can't be replaced (some are actually just arguing that it's the only current way to get direct, first-hand information about current events). What are you adding to

I'm not an expert by any means but will a 2013 PDF still be relevant in 2016? Are the best practices from 3 years ago still sufficient? I feel like half of the "best ciphers to use in 2013" are deprecated due to insecurity, b

If you take a look at the paper that was linked, users were put in a cylinder that had video displays that simulated spinning. I think we've had this since roller coaster simulators, so your specific point has probably been proven sinc

I think it's unfair to compare the "haptic" feedback of a person being spun in a cyclone simulator to someone being handed a ball to touch. Are you saying you feel like you had vertigo for several days after shooting the novi

I usually wouldn't agree with this because plenty of experts have twitter accounts that are more reliable and accurate than text books in their field. That said, this account doesn't seem to have any provable credentials associate

To clarify, most jails are used to house misdemeanor criminals, those awaiting trial, and transferring prisoners. If you live near a state penitentiary, it's very likely that your most of your city's jails consistently have prison

There is literally no way anyone could have expected it to do this well. Nintendo has steered clear of mobile gaming because they expected all of their IP to flop in the mobile world. That said, what you said is still true. If you're t
