So a growing number of employers around the country have decided to build their own housing for workers, mostly for them to rent but sometimes to buy. You can't image where the con…

"Everything has risks, so reducing risks is meaningless" doesn't sound like particularly sound stance to take, especially on an issue like housing.

Cloud gaming is a growing market – they're preventing the deal on the hypothesis that it will give Microsoft a huge advantage in a growing market. How does any large company build …

I don’t understand why it can’t be both: SF is degenerating when it comes to random crime AND this murder wasn’t by some random thug. Always important to reflect on whether stances…

This must be the new astroturfing attack against concepts like public transportation. I've seen this phrase pop up too frequently at this point for it to be organic.

I had to have my deviated septum surgically corrected back in my late teens before I was capable of breathing consistently through my nose. Even simple things like chewing with my …

Famously, lots of people have successfully lived healthy lives with long periods where they ate mostly or exclusively potato, including multiple cases where people voluntarily ate …

I think his argument was that with potato-only he only wanted to eat 500 calories per day. For two weeks. Which is effectively nothing when you are talking about long-term issues l…

My favorite part is where they eat 500 calories of food each day but still state "Neither of us were looking to lose weight". Or the comment on "So the fact that we ate exclusively…

To me, a "spank" is usually a mild to moderate slap on the rear, a part of the body particularly well cushioned that can handle it just fine without physical trauma, not to mention…

Spanking a child and beating a child are two completely unrelated things. Yes, striking your child to teach them a lesson is definitely completely unrelated to striking your child …

There are different versions. Some like you said, are basically an reservation to for accomodations for a specific time period every year at a specific place. But there are others …

Don't forget Remote Desktop.

We are talking about being taught in an academic context, not a practical context. So, a better analogue might be that you wouldn't necessarily expect a martial arts historian to b…

I always preferred Active Worlds personally.

Unfortunately this bit of illogic is so common that I know it’s a waste of time to argue, so I’ve learned how to figure out what they want the estimates to be, give them that, miss…

About a decade ago I used to pay $45+ a month for a very basic cable package that contained mostly public stations and a few of the standard stations that you get a hotels, etc. At…

OpenTTD sadly does not simulate passengers as unique agents. Transportation demand can be very unidirectional and not make logical sense. Personally this isn't really a negative. I…

It feels a bit hypocritical to make this sort of proclamation on a social media site with extremely strict moderation. Almost as though this isn't as simple a topic as "stick and s…

I feel like this couldn't have been true by 1995. The market of RPGs specifically made in the west by 1995 is relatively limited. So, you cross out the biggest entries in that spac…

That really only applies to "we have to launch it next week". It can potentially apply to any project with a fixed budget, whether that's internal or external. And time is money, s…

JetBrains Rider is a cross-platform .NET IDE based on the IntelliJ platform and ReSharper. It's been years since I've used Resharper and maybe things have changed, but if you are l…

It's explicitly asking for an open-ended list. If your goal is to come with any reason to label a question a "list question", then I don't think it would be too hard to find a way …

The question mentioned by the original OP was "My last question (just now) asked about potential maintainability issues involved with a certain approach to CSS layout." which doesn…
