Based on my own experience, I'd imagine that laying is hard because of the way you have to twist your neck. But, like others said, it really seems to be more about not moving around.

First of all, they've had a pretty good run so far, so the bet against that seems to have worked out. Also, changing markets are part of the difficulty for almost all businesses. Apple would have been in serious peril of losing the bus

I think you'd do the self-driving market a disservice by bundling it with expensive range-limiting technology. If both are positive changes in their own right, then they're better off keeping them available separate for maximum ad

Wasn't that the ill-advised move five or so years ago that tanked Netflix's stock, causing a quick reversal?

Small samples have high variance, while sample mean approaches the mean of the true population as you increase the sample size. This is a fun website, but the Olympics would need a lot more events for it to mean something. If each athlete w

Equation group is the advanced malware outfit that is suspected to be NSA. The name was given by the group at kaspersky who put the report together. A brief summary is found in the linked PDF [0]. False flag is possible, but it's not u

I'd argue that being skilled in your own right is a surer path than riding coattails. Granted, most of us would like the latter method to be even less reliable, but in most lines of work it's hard to turn down who's hard work

I agree with you on all the theory, but I'd add that if you take the subsidy option, you'll forever have to clamp down harder and harder as the effects of the distortions amplify. I'm actually open to the idea that the govern

One of my biggest issues with Prop 13 is that it suggests that you should have a claim a municipal government in perpetuity. Huge amounts of the value of land in towns and cities comes from the services provided by the city government, and

What I think IS all bad: yours is one of the most substantial replies to the story, and it's been down-voted to the bottom of the comments because people don't like your suggestion. Meanwhile, there could actually be worthwhile di

I don't know if I'm supposed to interpret your user name as denoting a troll account, but you're entirely too cynical. For the early years, I think that's a good explanation for the demand for pre-K. To say that's t

People seem to take these studies as entirely quantitative, but the basis for scoring is a test that almost certainly saturates before the upper levels of high school. I went to a magnet STEM school for half of every day in my last two year

The reason is that our similarities are huge, if not complete, throughout the country. Given an imperfect world, finite time, and people needing to do things other than observe themselves so we can play with more data, I think you're i

There are other beefier posts that address this tangentially, but it's about a stable environment. Basically, testing and school performance mostly just follow parent wealth/income/education because those factors indicate sta

After reading so much about Comcast I vowed to avoid them when I finished school. At my first place I went with ATT, which sucked because of shockingly frequent outages. But at least it wasn't Comcast. Now I'm moving across the co

And this happens everywhere. When you realize that most of the desirable places to live in the US are illegal to build, it really makes you wonder what the hell we're doing. The answer is that we'll suffer an immense burden of stu

There's an urbanist podcast/nonprofit that releases really good, approachable content, and I recently saw a video they did where they went into a typical subdivision and just looked at the houses. In particular, he singled out the

If we're talking about the US, the problem is almost never that land is being utilized too efficiently (too much house and too little land).

Ehh, honestly I'd say investing is where he says the least. His philosophy on that matter seems to be "invest so you don't have to think about investing".

I have some family friends, and their son recently got arrested for a felony drug dealing charge at the end of his spring semester at college. From what I understand, the police built this whole sting to catch the guy at his school mailbox

I'm assuming you don't have experience with this sort of computer integration. It's just using web portals to give problems with varied values (so students don't all have the same answers) and grading. It changes little

In Madrid it's not like this. I've never ridden anywhere in the city where the buses couldn't make it between the stops in good time, and that includes places like Gran Via and Puerta del Sol. In the US, we really do suffer f

To me this is analogous to streets that are dangerous because pedestrians and cyclists are seldom seen. Drivers come to expect very simple patterns, and roads are engineered with forgiving design, and so drivers know they can be distracted

There are a couple of ways you can do this on the water (radar, AIS), but the names for doing so escapes me. In ocean navigation there is the notion of a tripwire: if X happens, do Y to get your shit together. Ocean traffic also sometimes h

I would argue that, at least for NSA, there is significant value in having information not improperly over-classified. I used to work at an institution that did research on some NSA projects, and almost no one was willing to touch a project

It looks like they redid classification markings in 2006, so what I thought I knew (and likely the same for plenty of people here) is probably not applicable. In particular, there's a release date now, or a statement saying how the dec

Despite the generally stand-offish way parent made his point, there is some validity to wondering why we should provide broadband at such great distances. I think these conversations tend to get dragged into "think of the farmers"

The thing I find interesting about the connection of rural homes was how much it set back the alternative energy field. Windmills had just started replacing gas generators (with the generators as backups) when rural electrification happened
