Brutalism, like any architectural trend, surely had its eye sores. But let's not forget its beauty as well. Some of the buildings I enjoy are Harvard's Carpenter Center by Le Corbusier ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

I am not sure if the article says anything substantial about midcentury modern design. The canonical International and Bauhaus movements---represented by iconic designers/architects like Gropius, Le Corbusier, and Eames---were (in som

I am in the same boat (of waiting to update my Nexus 5, which I love dearly). What do you think of Moto Z Play---unlocked version coming at the end of the month? Inexpensive, a giant battery, USBC, quick charge, and reasonable price.

I think a part of SO's problem is its size. There are many other smaller communities in the Stack Exchange network that seem to be more friendly. The size of SO prevents it from becoming a community as such, which manifests in the lack

Suit yourself. For others some constructive info: gene editing horns out was successfully done in cows. See http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/27/us/2015-11-27-us-animal-ge... Similar approaches could be exp

Yes exactly. Dehorning has been tried with various levels of success in India, Namibia, and elsewhere. See for example http://www.rhinoresourcecenter.com/pdf_files/132/1328569146.... . Another viable idea would be

Not in the sense that other metals can be an "alternative" for gold. Brand name (Kinder) vs. the substance (chocolate).

Farming wild animals is not really possible. Selective breeding or gene editing for domestication is within the realm of possibilities. The problem needs funding and innovation.

Some of the most convincing evidence comes from American prohibition of alcohol and the drug wars. Basic economic principles dictate that the supply will expand to meet demand. As the demand is difficult to modulate, the strategy of regulat
