In part, it's called "spatial mismatch theory". Essentially, poor people tend to not live near areas with high possibilities of employment (and even when they do, as in inner-city/urban environments, either racism, or si

What about my backyard? What about the roof of my house? My neighbors can't see all of that area due to one reason or another (fences, trees, lack of windows on their house, etc. etc.) As many others have already noted, just because

Which is even more incorrect given the current cost of gas ($2.09 in SC at the moment for regular). Which is not to say it won't go back up, but I just find it quite the sleazy sales tactic. It'd be like selling someone a gun an

I'm not a pilot. But did anyone else read what he wrote about the steps of descending to prepare for landing and even not understanding all of the terms (which he intentionally left as acronyms as if that means the reader is incapable

Yes, you're correct, the point should be the data. However, the projection (not the shape), matters a great deal for a number of reasons. The classic example is to take an orange peel and flatten it. It's impossible to do witho

Yes, this is exactly what is occurring with my mothers iPad (and I think her's is the same first gen retina). And frankly I can't do anything about it. But ever since she's installed iOS 8, wifi has been incredibly flakey.

I really don't recall, but I'm guessing it was a major update. I believe this because I think I remember it being for the newer phones (iphones 4/5?) and that the update didn't include certain features on the 3g (this w

I believe Malcolm Gladwell has written about this. Others have as well. Typically this is less of a problem for US pilots, and more so in other cultures. For example, some of the studies showed that this type of thing was actually more pr

The saying used to be that something was designed for obsolescence. I no longer believe that's the case, I believe new devices are programmed for obsolescence. That is to say, the device used to work, but with new "updates,"

My question is why should we only apply this to programmers? What about Mechanical engineers? What about Machinists (there is quite the demand and a very low supply of them if you talk to many manufacturers), what about Doctors, Nurses?

To some extent, and based on traditional views of sanctions (I won't get into whether they actually work or not), the point of sanctions is to hurt the average people. Economic and political elites in Russia are still going to have lo

I for one would be okay (morally) if the rest of the world wanted to sanction the US for the invasion of Iraq. However, the real politik of it is simply: "The rest of the world needs the US more than the US needs them." Now,that&

THe B-1 is another great example of a plane built for a mission that no longer exists. We still fly them, but it was a true boondoggle of it's time.
