The 1989 board game is supposedly an acceptable variation on Monopoly. I guess it's sales were a disappointment for the publisher, but not catastrophic.
Yeah, they're both about periodic repetition. But a periodic tiling repeats in its entirety, exactly, with a fixed period. The periodic table groups elements based on properties that repeat periodically, but the periods…
> Does it mean simply lack of pattern? But that doesn't seem to be the case, at least visually. Aperiodic tiling means that the whole thing doesn't repeat. If you overlay a copy of the tiling and move it around, you'll…
This does sound absurd at first, but how much gravity is really needed for collection? Is there any value in just a few hundredths of earth gravity?
Municipalities, at least in some states, can be sued for refusing development that meets existing regulation and zoning
This is more of my personal axe to grind, but it's important to view this as a result of monetized content and highly algorithmic feeds. It is my understanding that these platforms don't even really remove this…

Parking minimums are implemented during building permitting. Natural lakes don't have building permits, and the parking is often constructed by the state.
The purchases are purposely similar to previous examples of gameplay in design and language.
If country B splits into countries C, D, E and F, all of which emit less than country A, has it found an effective way to reduce emissions? Should all countries adopt the Monaco lifestyle to defeat global warming? I…
And of course the influencing on media networks doesn't stop at the 30 second slot when the money is spent by the million ;)
The use of "back yard" refers to the local area, not the literal extent of one's property. This usage is not unique to NIMBY and it's derivatives. YIMBY sentiment also clearly extends beyond developers themselves and…
That's a Dreamworks movie actually
Perhaps it isn't possible because of economics. If you build an aquaduct to a somewhere sunny so that water is plentiful there, then farms, cities, parks, and so on will grow as long as the water is cheap, reaching the…
And then later they realize the tar that comes out of making coal coke can be used to treat railroad ties to prevent rot, letting you lay larger networks of rail.
It's certainly better in person, but if you hate the photos you probably won't love it. In particular, the interior: is cozier (smaller) than it looks, as the ceilings are a bit low; has better views of the outside when…
Frank Llyod Wright lacking warmth and humanity? Never been to Falling Water?
> Metric lacks a good "foot", but I guess people would get used to eyeballing things in ~50cm increments instead. Perhaps as a compromise we could adopt the meter but divide it by halves, quarters, and so on. Binary…
Another point for the copyright term being a fixed 5~10 years. The current system already incentivizes such agressive tactics to anyone with sufficient patience. If a teenager's favorite book has just been written by a…
This is a very persistent rumor. I forget the details but it comes from a customer support email, not some official statement or promise from Gabe, and even that was originally posted on a long gone forum which you can…
Refining gasoline isn't special. The Syrian civil war caused the construction of thousands of makeshift oil refineries. It's basically just distillation. You won't have an easier time making batteries and semiconductors…
Personally I think the collection used is pretty good, not perfect but not cherry picking. I find CC's explanation unsatisfactory and loose, mostly placing the blame on philosphers that predate the recent trend of less…
The graph is from a study of objects held in the collection of a museum, not photographs by year they were taken. It says so in this article. https://lab.sciencemuseum.org.uk/colour-shape-using-computer...
In that case there would be no inflation or deflation, assuming a fixed money supply and no economic growth. However, the the key here is that the government, the federal government anyways, is spending money regardless…
Tax breaks have basically the same effect as the government writing a check, increases inflation.
