Can't speak for the OP, but I can feel it. It can be disconcerting when trying to fall asleep.

"Malls are dying" has been a meme for well over 20 years now. I guess it is "The Suit is Back" season. Back in the year 2000, someone created the Deadmalls.com website that was not…

I don't have any information that's not available on the website, but it looks like the Lightyear 2 is more of a conventional a four door sedan, while the Aptera is a two passenger…

Is it that time of year already? "Dying malls" is like the "The suit is back" type of meme. Malls have been dying for most of my adult life (and I'm old enough to have used an 8088…

I wonder how this has worked out: A Hedge Fund Manager Who’s Shorting America’s Malls (2017) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14209161 ...seems like 4 years is enough time to g…

Is there a good way to quantify? There are also endless youtube videos of all manner of abandoned structures in Detroit, but I don't know that extrapolates to things outside of Det…

In our current "age of big data" is there a source of data that would show the number of malls as a function of time? It would also be interesting to know the trend of vacancy in m…

"Malls are dying" seems like a "the suit is back" sort of meme. I've literally been hearing this for 20+ years. And the mall near me seems busier than ever. Someone must be pushing…

You will not make more money because you learn Prolog. I'd approach it like a hobby. Some people like collecting stamps. Some like pondering esoteric programming languages. With th…

I liked "The Art of Prolog" for learning. And then if you dive deeper, "The Craft of Prolog". I'm curiously amused that the price for used versions on Amazon is so high. https://mi…

I'm apparently not a very attentive movie watcher. I've seen Contact several times, and nothing struck me as odd about this mirror scene until this article pointed out the obvious.…

I wonder what the complete curve looks like. At some point I'd expect the wealth number to be zero (and then head negative). So if you had $1 to your name, you might be richer than…

I've been having a lot of fun on Zillow today. How about TWO houses on 5.5 acres? $90,000 https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/300-Highland-Rd-Sturgis-K... ? $89,900 for a five bedro…
