At least one of the trigger was food shortage, or the fear of food shortage. The first riots were "bread riots". Hence the infamous apocryphal quote by Marie Anotoinette "If they can't have bread, let them eat cake"

Given they have hired creative writers, filmmakers, etc, I don't think they want to create an "always on" device but rather an entertainment device you use at home. See also the article about Brian Cox describing something wh

I am a bit puzzled by the names of Austin Grossman, Dave Gibbons and Andy Lanning being cited as employee (whatever that means). Are they so confident in the technology that they have started to heavily invest in the content? Is this a way

The trade-off is that even if you are always updating the action list, you are supposed to get an overall better peace of mind. You are not spending your time in the shower or in the traffic jam reviewing the list of things you have to do t

Even if those kind of graph are bringing hope, we have to remember that oil is both a source of energy (by burning it) and a compact and cheap way to store energy. A solar panel is only the former. So comparing the cost of energy production

I wonder if someone was fired on Discover side for having the idea to run a campaign on the Kindle with such a bad ROI. But I am not familiar with the ad business, maybe the efficiency was in line with what could have been expected...

You just focus on the breathing sensation, the flow of air, without breathing heavily, following the inspiration, the slight pause and then the next expiration. Again and again. Your mind will obviously create a lots of "shower thought

As a foreigner, but a reader of English fictions, I can only guess a handful of the borough (Camden, Lambeth, the City, Westminster, Islington?). While it looks neat, I don't think brevity is always a boon.

The difference with GE Vscan seems to be the 3D reconstruction capabilities. However I am not sure if the 3D is really needed. I always understood the 3D ultrasound reconstruction as a gimmick (at least in obstetrics) to show parent the hea

Well in theory, you could have a progressive tax on consumption, i.e. basic subsistence item have a low VAT, while luxury goods have a higher rate. This is already in application in some countries, but this is rather crude and does not take
