Personally, I try to avoid looking at it. It reminds me too much of late 90's Geocities HTML.

Contractors don't spec roadway lighting, engineers do. The engineers provide guidelines that are (or should be) easy for the contractors to follow. Likewise, the DOT asking for bids could require certain types of lighting. It's no

They could be built as a part of the light, since we're changing all of that out anyway. Really not that hard. Also, contractors shouldn't be studying compliance for new things. And you would pay them as you're installing t

A couple things: 1. Be careful what you use regex's for. Email addresses are very difficult[0]. HTML is impossible[1]. 2. There are a number of tools that make it easier to understand, including [2]. [0] http://www.ex-parrot

Heat coils are very simple, as are thermostats. They could be added very easily to run when it's cold enough out that it would be helpful.

Look at the Mincome example I posted above. Teens are more likely to graduate high school . Why? Because they aren't pressured to help support their families. This "distraction" theory is a far stretch. Teens have always had

"Distractions" have existed forever. Comic books, baseball cards, marbles, pogs, etc. have always been around for teenagers to blow their money on and spend way too much time with. Saying that the existence of video games has fund

You probably had a pretty good upbringing, right? I don't mean private schools and butlers. I mean school and parents that could provide a roof over your head and enough food to sustain you. Not everyone has that upbringing. Not having

The one real world example we have, of Dauphin, suggests this is not the case at all. A final report was never issued, but Dr. Evelyn Forget conducted an analysis of the program in 2009 which was published in 2011. She found that only new

Because the alternative is telling people how to spend it, which will be a less efficient use of that money. We already see this with food stamps and housing vouchers. There are many cases where someone has food stamps, but doesn't hav

Breaking News: The Dow goes above an arbitrary number! I know we as humans have a tendency to assign meaning to things like this, but the truth is it doesn't make much difference. Especially the Dow. Stop paying attention to it. It&#x2

There's some truly nutty stuff going on with subsidies. One example is cotton subsidies. Right now we're subsidizing cotton by direct payments and crop insurance. In 2004, the WTO ruled these subsidies to be unfair in a dispute br

It's true, but I didn't have the data. Regardless, it decreases if they convert, which might double the break even point, but it still wouldn't be unreasonable.

4th down data is not non-standard for 4th down data. Sure, you can't say for sure what would have happened if they had gone for it, but there's nothing particularly different about these downs that would lead to a higher conversio

This is the sort of broken thinking that prevents NFL coaches from trying this. The numbers just don't agree with your premise. Brian Burke of Advanced NFL Stats has a great 4-part write up on it: http://www.advancednflstats

Does anyone else find it disingenuous that their homepage has the words "Welcome to Rosa Labs" backed by a stock photo of what must be a much larger lab? I doubt their "labs" look anything like that.

The price of membership is not a $2500 hand bag. It's having a certain level of presentability. The author makes a poor choice by conflating these two. One can be presentable without blowing a limited budget. But spending 10-25% of you

It's a bit pedantic, but since BitBucket supports Hg and Git, commits are always local. In this case, pushes are offline.

A causal link, or a correlation? Because it matters, and that's what the article is making clear. Those correlation links lead to bad guidelines because the cause is not understood.

I think what they're getting at is that LinkedIn has a plaintext copy of your email password, not necessarily that it got there via some unencrypted channel. And because LinkedIn needs to be able to log in again, it has to store it in
