The author made some good points but focused solely on the outside appearance of the home. Another critical aspect of architecture is the layout and use of interior space - a point where many beloved designs - such as colonial - have weakne

I can foresee several phases in the development of "robocars". Phase 1 - dedicated lanes for robocars, to mitigate problems with the still-dominant human-piloted cars. Robocars capabilities at primitive level, will likely have hum

I happen to like the look. But certainly one's tastes, should they deviate from the AirSpace aesthetic, could be incorporated into the search parameters. Having stayed at BnBs before AirBnb was cool, the usual style I encountered was o

I am not sure of the utility of asking the salary question anyway. A credit check which is usually part of the pre-offer paper chase will provide an employer with plenty of info for determining your current burn rate.

What speaks volumes about the business is the statement, “My interrogators told me no one leaves Guantánamo innocent.” No matter how you got there, you are guilty. Because once you leave, no matter what your feelings, you will want revenge.

I think we have some thoughts in common; however, I foresee a future where people pay a monthly fee for a individually-sized self-driving car (maybe on the order of a smart car) to pick them up, take them to work, and drop them off. Then do

Musk leaves out - or maybe he didn't but the reporter did - a couple of things. 1) Most of the subsidy for fossil fuels is actually a subsidy for transportation, which relies mostly on fossil fuels. 2) The production and re-fueling of

Maybe a lawsuit or an inquiry from a regulatory agency would wake AZ up. "Employee arbitrage" is a fancy term for skimming or maybe even embezzlement.

What bothers me most about these discussions is that no one seems to advocate making college cheaper. The solution space always seems to gravitate towards finding more money. I do not see how that approach can sustain itself forever. Ditto

Taking a guess here -- the entangled photons would act as nodes between satellites, enabling the combining of information collected by the satellite array. Essentially, take an interferometric array such as CHARA, replace fiber with empty s

Not sure how it would affect prices, but if driverless cars (let's call them autopilot-mobiles) take over the world, they may not be owned by individuals anyway, but instead bought as-needed from corporations (e.g. "Just $100 a mo

To me, flat design just looks cheap. Maybe texture and shading for icons makes as much sense as tail fins on cars, but even the most strident minimalist designer still wants to convey some sense of quality with the details they choose to ke

So is it pronounced like "work" or like "torque"?

That's a good story. Personally I always figured Slash could play an Epi as well as a Gibson. But my modest abilities probably need a more expensive guitar as a talisman. This is good news for the makers of expensive guitars.

And finances. Also might be useful to track lottery winners, though i once read a book published 30 years ago that was a bit depressing on the subject.

One might say the subjects taught have no bearing on the purpose of school. I would say some subjects have more utility than others. But schools primarily provide babysitting and psychological conditioning services, so that we are ready for

OK, so I over-simplified the process a little. You have to pay someone who is not the government. To merely exist sets the criterion for the mandate. The penalty is not flat rate, but has a floor. SCOTUS ruled in upholding ACA that Congress

Yes they do. I didn't say the solutions would actually WORK. But this is America, so we'll deal with this problem the way we've dealt with health care.

Solutions -- 1) Wait for the bubble to pop and see if prices reach a new equilibrium. 2) Double-down on current solutions, i.e. more subsidies. 3) Impose a head tax on everyone a la Obamacare.

I found almost as laughable the statement that Ds were susceptible to mistaking mundane statements as profound. D: 2+2=4. Wow man! R: 2+2=5. That's what happens when you cut taxes for job creators!

I think the answer is very simple - a doctorate still packs a lot of prestige. It says that one is Smart, especially nowadays when more people than ever hold a bachelor's.
