As other people have pointed out, it's largely a byproduct of our development patterns, and it's also somewhat regional. Where I grew up, it was pretty common for people have driven drunk before they ever reached drinking age.

Less on overwork generally, and more sleep specifically: the US Navy, and especially the submarine force, has a porblem with not sleeping enough, and in the case of submarines, sometimes crashing into things because of it. Probably as a re

Unfortunately, I can't access the article. I think that I take the opposite stance from you on rebooting society,in that I'm decidedly more bearish. Not only do I not think we'd reassemble on the scraps of yesteryear, but I t

I wonder if the leadership suffered from the same confusion that this article shows. It's hard to call the Republicans Trump's party. Perhaps even calling Republicans a single party is going too far.

The article you posted is light on details. But as I read it, the research was a multi-channel approach on normal fiber. So in that case, it would be a question of upgrading the equipment connected on either end (though you'd also prob

It might be worth considering that this unwieldy policy could be an obfuscated response to a specific, credible threat. In that case the US government increases the odds that the move will be regarded as getting lucky, rather than necessita

This has been my experience as well. I made the change when I realized that I almost always get to work before sunrise and leave after sunset. Among other things, it seems to mostly defeat my typical mid-afternoon slump.

Admiral Rickover had some really good ones. A sampling: "Sit down before fact with an open mind. Be prepared to give up every preconceived notion. Follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss Nature leads or you learn nothing. Don’t pu

For me this gets to a deeper point. While there are probably some people who innately understand tough mathematical or scientific concepts, it's been my experience that learning is largely about spending enough time struggling diligent

Death and Life of Great American Cities, by Jane Jacobs. If you ever think about the design of your town or city or wonder why it's not safe to go out after dark in parts of your city, among many other things, it's applicable to y

On the Bible front, I'd recommend a story bible. There's a good reason so many people fail to read the Bible: it's full of motivational landmines such as genealogies. Even reading a story bible would put one far ahead in term

To say nothing of what it does for public faith in any officials administering such policy. It's not hard to imagine a large group becoming entirely untrusting of, for example, the police by such a brash pursuit of family-breaking.

Article should have a (2016). The author certainly isn't wrong. As a country, we've squandered an astounding amount of resources in the last 70 years. Since we hooked ourselves in the suburban experiment, we've gone broke. An

Is the big push to kill DST just because it requires you to go to bed an hour early, once a year, or be tired? When I think on the fact that I often sleep in 3 hours later on weekends, it's hard to see the big deal. I love DST. I get t

I think a lot of that would happen. The would also be a lot of people who would reconfigure themselves as spokes about the hub of a rail or Transit stop. And my experience with places like that suggests to me that the net effect for everyon

It is sort of funny that 'conservative' and 'liberal' are commonly meant as opposites when talking about US politics. But isn't conservatism pointing back to liberalism if that's the founding principle of the c

The problem isn't your preferences, but rather that so many people like you (I won't guess at your exact situation) express the same preferences only because so many of the significant downsides have been hidden by government fund

A growing trend is to mine Bitcoin in Venezuela, where the electricity is hugely subsidized, mining can pay better than something like being a doctor, and you can get food sent in from Miami (since your income is in a widely accepted curren

However, when at the Grand canyon in Arizona, it seems that DST does get followed. This makes it difficult if you happen, like I did, to do a trip the weekend of DST shift where you start in Phoenix, AZ, go to the Grand canyon, then proceed

Two flights in a row returning to SFO, I had knives (~1 inch blade) found and had to check my bag, after passing through SFO with no problem. So I guess if that's your metric of effective, they don't do so well in my anecdotes. Ho

Sauder is the only other one I know of. Their stuff seems to be pretty well designed and of good quality, though I wish they were more unapologetic about being fiberboard, as I'm not a huge fan of fake wood textures.

Was it really worth watering down a list of worthwhile fears with absurd sensationalism, just to make it longer? The risk of death in a vehicle far exceeds that of gun violence. If you're talking about injuries perpetrated by a strange

Absolutely agreed. I could type better on an iPod touch with its tiny 2010 screen than I can on my 6 inch Android screen (despite my large hands.) Outside of that, the author nailed it. Especially the phone system, though he could have take

The stream lasts for some amount of time between 3.5 and 8 seconds. Each sink has a different pressure, most too high, a few too low, one just right. When one hundred people go to use the bathroom in a five minute period, that one functioni
