I hope they budget strongly for enclosed walkways. Minneapolis gets very cold in the winter. Walking won't be pleasant in the open.

With a sole proprietorship, certainly. With a partnership, maybe. Anything bigger, unfortunately not.

Totally agree.

Great story! I remember typing in a few 'magazine programs' also, on my Vic-20.

The top picture includes the printer, inside is a nice stack of green-bar paper. The first part of my career was spent studying green-bar. It's how programs were read, understood, and core-dump-…

No, I disagree. If unions REALLY wanted everyone to have the opportunity to be heard and respected feelings, there would be no violence and intimidation when people move to cross a picket line. It hap…

I'm a regular participant on 'Bogleheads' forum. If forum posters are to believed, there are quite a few high net-worth individuals there. Many are motivated by 'the game'. …

I don't think it'll get better any time soon. When I was a teenager, I couldn't wait to start driving. That led to hanging out at the town bowling center with a group of like-minded fr…

Nice pick! Golf R was on my short list last year. (I went with a used Lexus IS F, finally.)

Yes, exactly! As I was reading it, the song '16 Tons' started running through my head.

I thought Judge Kavanaugh was treated in a grossly unfair manner. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a chance for us all to do better, let's not condemn him without fair proof. He may well be guilty, but it…

A worse house? No, I don't think so. The best house of the 70s would be laughably bad today. Poor climate control, sub-standard insulation, smaller rooms, etc. Going back even further (to …

Wow. Look at how fast he moves-- I hope I can move like that when I get older. Kudos to him, giving back at age 96. He's an inspiration.

What's that famous tag line? Oh, yes: "Use of Go 2 Considered Harmful".

I've been surprised and impressed by Microsoft's charge into the cloud. I really wouldn't have guessed (a short while ago) they could challenge Amazon. Kudos to them.

The stock market(s) will have crashed. And recovered nicely. 20 year olds will be extremely socially liberal. Today's 20 year olds (30-something then) will begin criticizing them and will be t…

<Edit: Please ignore this post. Others made the same point earlier.> If they align with the Democrats on social issues, but Republicans on regulatory issues, they would seem to lean Libertaria…

I agree. We're all dealt different hands in life. The best thing is to strive to be the 'best you can', not 'the best'. A motto from an old children's organization sums…

Capitalism works just fine. You can't stop everybody from self-harm, no matter what you do. This couple has already been given extra chances-- we cannot save them from themselves.

Being alive in this time. The rich have more things than ever before. The middle class live better than the very richest used to. Even the poor have things that were beyond the reach of the very ric…

I'm a car enthusiast also. I mostly agree with your list, but I imagine OJ's Bronco will sell well (much like the Bonnie and Clyde Ford).

Q: Will the new car have to put additional money into that 914 to make it reliable and presentable? A: Billions and billions....

I've worked from my house for 8 years now. It saves gas, etc. I don't need the social aspect of work (I'm introverted). I really, really like working remotely. But it's not for e…

I disagree with much of what Michael Bloomberg says, but my hat's off to him for this. Thank you, Mr. Bloomberg.

Thank you for posting, it's interesting. I wish a good blind programmer would write a book. I really think there are great gains to be made in programming, when we find ways to optimize the way …

Where I live, Wal-Mart sells groceries and other goods that are life-sustaining to lower-income customers. We've got other stores (Kroger, etc.), some of their goods might even be of better quali…

I can't imagine why this guy would think it's remotely ok to do such a thing. Nobody should ever, EVER misdirect police or emergency responders in such a way. There are all kinds of downsid…

Why would you not listen to James Woods? If it's just because you disagree with his politics, then I don't find that a good reason. Also: Apply the same standards to any left-siders you DO…

In my admittedly conservative mind, here's how I see it: - Weinstein continued his predatory ways by threatening the careers of anyone who might expose him. - Weinstein was also a major Democrati…
