That was discussed as one model. I suspect the city is not "against" such a model, but doesn't want to tie the success of the rollout to private providers. Fort Collins already got burned by Axia backing out of talks about a

The canonical advice with vitamins is always that it's best to get them in food, as part of a healthy diet. The interesting thing here perhaps is that if you live above 37 degrees latitude, there are very few ways to get vitamin D, mai

This already exists in many parks. Which is why it's slightly puzzling that first responders would be stumping for this.

What is "essentially no salt"? Considering that the AHA's daily target is 1,500mg, or only 3/4 tsp, were you even far below that?

Well, some do, but what they expect and what they actually have a right to, are different things.

The biggest attraction it me would be, not getting all sweaty. But at the same time, wouldn't it be better for me if I trained my body until I didn't get all sweaty on a regular bike?

Agreed. Half the value IMO is in the UI. A smartphone is an awful user experience with gloved hands, and demands your attention while a good radio mostly gets out of the way. Radios using a LTE-based dedicated network like they mentioned mi

This isn't about timing the market, it's about rebalancing and maintaining a good diversity of exposure to various sectors. Rebalancing is not antithetical to passive investing.

Not being a power engineer, I'm still wondering if/when somebody is going to try to build a grid capacitor bank. Traditional advantages: long lifespan, high charge/discharge rate, low complexity. Traditional disadvantages: la

Negative power prices are not in and of themselves a good thing for consumers. Obviously, that power still costs money to generate. But, if the means of production (e.g. wind) is overall still a win and power only goes negative for short

Sorry, I don't closely follow this whole "don't talk to the police ever" thing- is this the case even when you're just refusing to talk to the police on the street without an attorney? Was always under the impressio

Replacing low density with high density shouldn't have to touch outdoor/public spaces [...] Perfectly possible to keep (or even expand) recreation spaces if we allow more density. Right, I'm pretty sure I specifically ackno

Many people now are spending almost 50% of their pre-tax income on housing, and most of that is the price of land and goes to landlords. 1) That's really not a countrywide thing 2) It's not specifically the landlords, it's

I admittedly come to this from a different angle. Many people move to my town for nature & recreation. Every new house & every new infill is less nature, less trails, less recreation. So paradoxically, by moving here, are we killing

Redeveloping a low density property for higher density is fine, except part of what makes that new property attractive is the neighborhood it was built in. Which in our hypothetical, is low density and maybe nice. Then in the process of red

If you design a chip with the whole lifecycle of the battery in mind, you can achieve better average performance for the life of the chip. Pulling numbers out of the air, the argument is the chip was designed for maximum performance with a

Modern x86 chips have built in support for voltage drops, as part of margin recovery. As the chip changes activity profile increasing current draw (e.g. turning on all cores for multithreaded code) the voltage will drop until the regulators

Brushing my teeth every day isn't something my body evolved to handle. According to some dentists I've talked to, this is a consequence of modern diet. Eat a lot of raw carrots and other basic foods, and you wouldn't really

A more-conditioned cyclist can perform the same amount of work with a lower heart rate & respiration rate. I don't have a source handy, but personally observe that my perspiration rate is directly related to my heart rate, and as I
