Exactly. "Early" is generally understood to mean before the "time in question" -- the time that serves as the frame of reference when an engagement will occur. Asking participants to arrive early would, at least to me, s

May I ask where you are located? Just curious. Edit: looking to move from my current city.

Let's try not to censor ourselves and let those lists grow to the point they become useless because everybody is on one.

"Sadly now that it is here few can see it." Well, the smart money will see it first. And entrepreneurs. The rest will eventually follow the herd, well after the money is off the table.

However with a strong robotics industry in the Detroit area, it may be easier servicing those robots if they were installed near, say, Detroit.

To name a few from the top of my head: 1. Strategic location along the straits and along an international border. 2. Most (almost all) of the needed infrastructure is already in place. 3. Many reputable universities in the area, includin

Rebuilding a city, on this scale, takes a LOT of time. Maybe our lifetimes, or two. It took a lifetime to grow Detroit from a small city to a big one. But this time, the game may be much more complicated. Although my evidence is only anecdo

I agree, the freelance working space market must be extremely ripe right now, I wonder why supply has been so slow to increase? It should be obvious that the demand is very high just by visiting most wifi cafes, looking around, and seeing a

Not necessarily. I've had some very good and well-intentioned clients in the past where they simply registered a domain through goDaddy and didn't know any better, or some other cheapass set them up. I simply inform them in a candid way wha

It's as if some sort of patent "tragedy" would need to happen, such as an extremely popular application used by multiple voting blocs be shut down, an application whose absence would set off a larger popular response. However, the owner of

That may hold true if you're the owner of the aircraft, but I'm not so sure for the hired pilot.

Thanks for the link, I think that will be very helpful filling in gaps in my knowledge and thought that applies to this topic. An excellent source!

I believe clean, understandable URLs also help search engines index content more appropriately (and supposedly helps rankings), but with the speed and opaqueness of exactly how indexing works I could be wrong these days. Edit: I should have

It is complex, because the U.S. is a very, very complex society. In many parts of Europe you're looking at a much less diverse and separated population compared to that of the States. Public discussions in the U.S. have a vast number of voi

He's one of the few politicians of that caliber where I think he's both batshit crazy while being a force for good (?) in the public sphere. I don't really know what to make of the man.

Agreed. Just like renderings I do for website projects, they're communication/brainstorming tools and only that. On a somewhat funnier note, every time a new massing model or rough sketch of a new building is released in NYC (for example th

Nice building. However -- I've watched renderings like these come out for years, as well as the final results (in person). Thing is, glass, and especially tinted or "specially treated" glass meant for display purposes, are very very hard to

No way to make it more lucrative? Edit: I don't pretend to really know how to do it, or what the outcomes could be, but I guess I'm talking about socializing social networks (part of the business value itself), if that makes sense.

What I wonder is what the effect could be if Facebook or some other "social" company were to cut users' in to some of the ad revenue, e.g., as in somehow getting compensated for having your photo appear next to an ad for a company you "like

Many advertising agencies simply get caught up in trends and fads and don't take a hard look at the actual effects these trends have on their audience. Periodically I do work for these agencies on their print materials, and often clients as
