I've noticed neighborhood groups on Facebook starting to fill this vacuum. It would be interesting if online journalism could embrace the model of geographic news.

There will need to be curation, or a stamp of approval for applications or online content. Then, a method of filtering an app store or search engine for that content. This would be appealing to parents (speaking as one myself).

It seems like quite a stretch considering people tend to accumulate financial responsibilities over time (kids, aging parents, etc.).

If everyone is building mud huts, are they held back by lack of tools? It seems like a decent kiln for making roof or floor tiles would make a big difference in many of their lives. Developing art or goods for export would help to make thi

Our world would be a better place with greater (or universal) access to mental health resources. My hope is that AI will eventually give us this.

From what I've heard, houses in certain humid and warm regions (like Florida) quickly succumb to mold without air conditioning. In some cases of abandoned properties, the house quickly becomes a total loss.

Yes, they do. Unfortunately, you tend to need several per child (minimum one for school, one for home). So, these costs quickly multiply.

It seems especially egregious when we are talking about a dispenser versus the drug itself.

Our entire medical system was founded as a reaction against snake oil salesmen and quacks who preyed on desperate people. If you support capitalism and the free market in medicine, you must acknowledge that monopolies can and do arise.

Are there any cases of a small company attempting this? Since the drug is well known and cheap, I was hoping to read about hackers designing an open source 3D printed dispenser.

As a consumer of epipens, I can assure you that we are not divorced from the price mechanism. We are talking about $300+ a unit for a dispenser (the drug itself costs pennies). The time needed for competition to manifest in the market wil

My children have a need for epipens. With our insurance, it is still prohibitively expensive. After hearing about the cost in GB, I'm considering making a trip to London to stock up

Other than spending money, there is only saving and investment. Some believe that our current lack of demand is caused by too much money chasing too few investments.

Not likely, the space is very fluid. ASICs are expensive and inflexible.

I imagine if TSA agents were required to randomly fly to another location during their shift, things would change.

By low interest rates, do you mean Federal Funds, or the bond market? My impression is that mortgage rates tend to track the 10 year bond rate, given most people refi/sell before then. These and long term rates have been on a multi-de

Please make whatever changes you need to make to get back on track. Who cares if you go bankrupt? Being there for your family is the only thing that matters.

My advice is to find something you enjoy doing, rather than what you think is marketable. You might guess incorrectly and have neither money or job satisfaction. But, don't stress too much about choosing a path. Your career will evo

I grew up in there. Solon is a great place to raise kids, with great schools (state leading math/science) and a low cost of living. Although, my experience was that Ohio is a tough climate for tech employment.

It wasn't only Germany with plans for colonization. Take the history of Königsberg resettled into Kaliningrad ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliningrad_Oblast ), which remains Russia's western-most territory

This article is especially interesting, given it was written before the the US entered the war and before the full extent of Nazi atrocities was known. I'm reminded of C.S Lewis's speech about the Inner Ring (1944): http:/&#

Are there stored sources of testable blood (blood banks?) that would be suitable? I would imagine that making predictions where we already know the outcome would be useful.

If you were an electricity provider (which homeowners are on a small scale), you would be receiving wholesale rates. I wonder how much of the energy pushed into the system is actually utilized. Overcapacity during peak hours is probably a

That variadic expansion happens at compile time, so it's still O(1) access. In my experience, the effects of something like this won't be immediately visible. You might start to notice compile times creeping up as the project gr

I've always been amused that we tend to guess religious motives for ancient artifacts/places. Is there enough evidence to default to this where no practical uses can be found?

For some people, bigger is always better. I like having a yard and not a cavernous home.

It would be interesting if basic income were tied to some combination of the Gini index and inflation rate. It would serve as a nice automatic offset to deflation, then fade away as the economy took off and wages increased.

I'm looking forward for this type of thing making its way into C++ reflection and serialization libraries.
