Well, building today's affordable housing has never been a goal anyone aspires to. We're building 2040/2050's affordable housing: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/8/1/how-luxur

Well that just seems cruel and arbitrary.

I don't think it's uncommon to say that the US dumps cheap corn on the world markets, especially Mexico. Or, in so much as that's talked about at all, 'dumped' isn't uncommon terminology. Or maybe I just have c

A rolling stop is only good enough to prevent a 'high-speed collision' as judged by people wearing steel armor boxes.

All this assumes drivers who know and follow rules. Where I live, I have to wait in a suicide lane to make a left, and sometimes drivers at the stop sign will try to steal the right of way to make their left first. And then there's the

It's interesting that they were so focused on CBDR, but then totally dropped the ball when it was time to extend the analogy to overtaking (where you assume to be overtaking if you are >22.5° abaft the other vessel's beam, whic

We make driving far too easy. Narrower lanes, trees right next to the roads, and more potholes would probably go a long way toward making driving safer, both for the drivers and for everyone else. Because at the end of the day, drivers subc

When we were kids, my brother got chastised by the police for getting hit by a car while riding his bike 'dangerously' along the non-stopping direction at a 2-way stop. It's a pretty good way to impress upon a kid that the po

You sort of have to love their advertising: "How is reMarkable different? No tablet has less functionality than the reMarkable. "

I'm going to just try a couple analogies because I suspect my argument won't come through if I try to explain or use examples. It seems like one interpretation of complex distribution networks is that they form a strong web that c

"Is factory farming doing something that makes factory cows produce more methane?" Unequivocally yes,by increasing the number of cows as a result of their being more affordable.

It's not always advantageous to be efficient, and this is even more true in really important areas like food supply, because having the extra, underutilized capacity can save you in a pinch. When it comes to frivolous things like compu

The biggest issue I see with this: they presumably suffered a loss of all electric, and in that case they're going to have limited pressure in their hydraulic systems. Hydraulics are probably responsible for both steering and torpedo l

While the US may have physical space to put cars, most of our towns and cities nonetheless are slowly going bankrupt from catering to them.

And people will claim crappy weather as an excuse almost completely independent of weather. The closest things to cities without any bad weather would have to be San Diego and Los Angeles, and the legions of cars there are just as endless a

Can you articulate what data you're asking for? Everything in parent's comment seems to be logic; I'm not sure what part would be played by data.

To give you a counter example, I follow nothing except pages most of the time. My real account sticks around in case I want to contact friends, and because some people insist on communicating via FB messages. But all my browsers are logged

There's a theory (I don't know to what extent, if any, it has corroborated or discredited) that dogs and humans share a common history of being infantilized versions of wolves and apes, respectively. Thus we place less emphasis on

I know it's just about become a meme to share these, but there's a great Econtalk from earlier this year that explains the drug patent system. If you've never had an in-depth, you'll learn a great deal. http:/&#x2F

That complaint has been around as long as there have been lazy students. When lazy students find themselves in a class taught by a foreigner with a thick accent, they almost invariably blame the accent (barely speaks English) for their own

Very much agreed. I'm iffy from 5-7 (some days great, some days too tired), fairly productive 7-1230, nearly worthless 1230-2, then pretty effective until 4 or 5.

You're arguing past parent. He stated not that trucking is cheaper, but that it is heavily subsidized. In almost all cases, rail would cheaper, and some things will take advantage of that. Likewise, in all situations trucking will be m
