People who don't feel a need for personal space and privacy will move to cities. People who value those things move out. There is a difference in the voting behavior of those different kinds of people. If you find crowds of strangers e

Now you are on to something. Perhaps those goods shouldn't be made in China, an ocean or two away from where they are needed, under lax emissions laws. If we held China to the same standard as the US and EU, some of that problem would

We supposedly can't leave until 2020, but who would enforce that? There is also the option of staying, but reporting our carbon emissions with alternative facts. Done to an extreme, that means we get the payments.

The "family budget" and "credit card debt" analogies aren't too terrible. They are a decent start. They don't crash and burn until you have to account for inflation.

Yes, it would be "grandfathering in the advantage we currently gain". You don't want that advantage? Are you tired of winning? Trump said: "We gonna win so much you may even get tired of winning and you'll say pleas

MIPS has numerous defects. There is a legacy wart in the form of a delay slot that doesn't match modern pipelines; this causes all sorts of annoyances. The MMU doesn't use a hardware-walked tree, cutting into performance with cach

The nice thing about California's bar exam is that you need nothing more. You don't need to take expensive classes. Just learn the material, pass the exam, and you are a lawyer. Other states require law school. The schools want it

There is no need to remove the info. We can talk about jammers in the USA. Here: cut a hole in the door of a microwave oven. That's a jammer.

The non-disabled people have it bad enough. Consider being 7 feet tall. You may split your head or get a concussion at the door or from things that hang down. The seats are too small; you'll have to sit with legs folded up and knees by

Most amphibians (frogs, toads, newts, salamanders, etc.) are getting wiped out by a skin infection that has spread around the world. The toads in your area might be resistant. The less-aquatic behavior might help.

Who will audit the auditor? They could be useless. They could BE the criminals. So you need an auditor for your auditor, and for that too you'll need an auditor. It's auditors all the way down.

Isn't this old news? The reason is vaguely similar to the DNA modification that happens in the immune system: recognition of self. In this case, the goal is to avoid loopback connections. Nerve cells that touch themselves are bad. By D

It's at your bank, same as always. It's called a home equity loan, or, for new houses, a construction loan. Tesla intends to provide this too. Don't expect a good rate if you feel a need to have Tesla finance the roof. Banks

It's close enough. Technically, it works like this: She claims to be raped. By doing so, she admits that sex occurred outside of marriage, and now she must prove that it was a rape. Sharia requires 4 male witnesses to prove this. Good

That is kind of the point of a firewall, no? If some random video conferencing app can punch a hole, get a refund.

Neighboring towns near Flint took care of the problem at their own expense. Is it fair to them that Flint doesn't have to pay? Perhaps we should pay those neighboring town back, with interest, for the work that they did? Aren't we

If the system doesn't move your car, then you need two cars and parking for both of them. Park your first car, use the system, then get into another car that you have previously left waiting for you. Unless there is a stop at every hom

For the most part, the non-STEM people are "smart" and "intelligent" only regarding stuff like social skills. The high-paying jobs for them are management, law, and commissioned sales. I suspect you can do very well for

Welfare makes people feel bad. People want jobs. People want to be productive members of society. People want the pride and self-respect that comes with supporting a family. You might say that economic self-interest means voting for wealth

Federal standards for car spedometers allow 10% error. Because of liability, cars are not sold with spedometers that read low. If you are less than 10% over, the cops would need to prove that you knew it. This would involve testing your car

That number comes from a time of 3-speed transmissions and non-aerodynamic bodies. I heard better numbers back when 5-speed was becoming common, but now we're seeing 8-speed and 9-speed and CVT. It's probably around 65mph now.

Here in the USA, we have speed bumps too. This is why we need to buy huge SUVs with high clearance. With a big enough vehicle, the speed bumps are not an issue. You should try it. I often wonder what the environmental cost of speed bumps is

Better idea: make the road actually safe at higher speed. If you don't want people getting hit by cars, you need to make them visible. Get rid of parallel parking. Get rid of bushes and mailboxes near the road. If there is a sidewalk,

Only 95% of Mormons are in "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". Fundamentalist Mormons are still Mormon, and yes, 10,000 to 30,000 of them are in plural marriages. Also, note that I didn't mean it as an insult,

It's Utah. You know, Mormons. The bit about them having huge families is real. With one kid or wife per bedroom and 1000sqft for kitchen/dining/whatever, you have room for 28. (4 wives, 6 kids each) Making the non-bedroom par
