Google "architect award winning car park". (I am pretty sure that every architectal project over a certain number of million dollars is guaranteed to win one or more awards) I don't think it's selection bias. It's t

I wouldn't trust the Alipay stats. The aliexpress 11.11 pre-sale BS forces everyone's purchases to be ordered in advance for two weeks at one time of the year. The actual sales are often as little as 1% discount. They then claim i

What I don't understand is how it looks absolutely nothing like it did in the early 1900s. In the 1900s it looked like a poorer example of one of the many copies of this painting, reflected in the low amount it went for in many auction

There is a lot of evidence, long term studies, showing they do not do cancer. So the question is why are they listed as a possible cause? It invalidates the entire list. My car keys may well "possibly" cause cancer if the bar is s

Can confirm that a random corner store in Tuscany still yeilds good espresso, and I am still surprised by it. But that must be because Italians demand good espresso and everyone in Italy knows what good espresso tastes like.

Are the third party refillable pods pretty much the same thing?

And they are attempting to compete in the luxury market. Good luck in the short term with zero brand recognition.

I really hope they succeed. Do you know what the specs of the phone are?

The article says that delaying sinking would have saved lives. Ships are frequently pumping out water. They don't need to be 100% watertight.

I am not the op, but maybe s/he is referring to the fact that you can rent drm'd ebooks. It was quite jarring when I discovered this, but I was able to get hold of a rare out of print book.

Why is it disgusting? In a lot of job people are expected to rush to get things done. I know a lawyer who was fired because she didn't get a payment executed by 5pm (it ended up costing someone a lot of money)

Hypothetically could they force BitBucket to inject code into repos or binary releases? I know git is signed, but how many consumers (who just download and compile) check the git log in the cloned repo actually match the the website?

I am also fatalistic about global treaties of any major consequence. So failing that I would start with low hanging fruit. Convince countries with low populations but high per capita C02 emissions to switch to sustainable power. Especially

"Taxing the hell out of CO2 emissions", which I take to mean taxing it so much it forces producers and consumers to significantly curtail C02 activities, would not necessarily be a self-fulfilling solution. Tax obviously works, bu
