This article omits so many negatives from the "cyclist's paradise" vision of Hidalgo's 2 terms that I don't know where to start. Families are the first casualties: the Paris metro …

That is the right question to ask. My temptation is to respond "Obsession with nature is destroying humanity's prospects." Now what?

This is an S4. Last S4 event was in October 2003.

Sorry if that sounds offensive, but you are being a bit shortsighted here. The theory just says that shareholder value serves both as a guide to what a business should do, and as a…

> And meanwhile the biggest threat to all our security, the climate crisis goes unaddressed. That the climate crisis is the biggest threat to our security is the biggest fallacy of…

Agreed. Also, could an elector be nominated to the next round? (i.e. does becoming an elector prevent you from winning the election)

Probably it's because I'm not a quantum physicist, but the argument boiling down to "the wavefunction is an object of a probability space not of physical space" seems to make the w…

You see the carrot vanishing... OK. But what about the stick? The whole point of Trump's policy is 'we forgot the stick, let's use it again'. I see this true for international poli…

I don't know what makes you say that. Requiring a bit of market research from project proponents does not mean excluding anything lightweight or just new. What you don't want is so…

CFO's perspective: wanna sell me something, anything? you're out. However well crafted your email is, you're an unacceptable distraction from the priorities that the company has se…

It's the reason why it can only work at small scale: it's all or nothing. It wants to be your only communication channel. But, surprise, as soon as you live in a larger organisatio…

Countless Buddhist books explore this in thorough detail.

The fact that you can still access hidden quotes/replies/etc from the API makes me think it's a client-side (i.e. app-only) feature.

> why would you tip a barber? because they cut your hair good? what was the base payment for then? Let me return the question: why would you tip a waiter? because they brought your…

At individual contributor level, such schemes may work -- anyways, people are paid by the hour so anything outside hours is already dubbed 'overtime', and companies are bound to ca…

The study seems US based only, I wonder if there's a similar trend in Europe -- that would help identifying if some of the potential environmental factors have been regulated out o…

My understanding was that the main interest of SendGrid, Mailgun et al was precisely that they manage to (more or less) reliably mass send email through the great MS/Google/Proofpo…

Unfortunately the article mixes the ends with the means. The key trait that seems to stand out in the most highly regarded people in history is discipline: there is no "10x work" w…

A primer on valuation: in many financial contexts, $1 of operating savings may be worth much more than $1 of investment. That is because an investment is a one-off, so it's actuall…

Preserve AM radio for worst-case scenario emergency, where nothing else ever is available -- that's the million year solar flare or the next nuclear winter -- of course. AM is the …

I have to say, knowing a bit more than is public about the deal the Australians had in the first place with the French and that they chose to just throw away, that I'm left laughin…

I don't know about Adobe's motives, but it sure looks like despite the "we ended the process by mutual agreement" talk, Adobe somehow walked away... otherwise they wouldn't let $1b…

Got the exact same with a bank located rue de Téhéran :p

> The reason I think listing taxes separately is OK is because (a) it is not something that the business itself has any choice over and (b) all businesses have to tax the same for …

Same here. Smooth experience.
