And I'm pretty sure Lockheed Martin is still right next to Moffett, as well as the SV campus of Carnegie Mellon. I think there might be too much going on in this little strip of land to completely discount aerospace.

How do they employ almost 300 people on $11 mil / year? Also, why are these posts getting downvoted? The title of this article is "How We Make Money at Stack Overflow".

Not sure why this is controversial. Boilers have an on/off switch, and when your company manages a large number of buildings, you automate and centralize on/off for efficiency's sake, no?

Doesn't he mean executive orders? I believe those are considered law, while executive actions are simply directional. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/11/20/365467914/... EDIT:

Burlington, PA has been the biggest red dot on the map for the past 20 minutes or so. That's another story I'd like to learn about.

-> They stagnated basically because there was little to no fighting. A fair assessment, but now I realize that another way to say this is - They stagnated because there was little to drive innovation. Stated this way, it at least makes u

“It seems warfare created intense pressure that drove these societies.” This seems backwards. Wouldn't the intense pressure of societies bumping up against each other drive warfare, and not the other way around?

And for you game devs (since we're on the subject), not providing an offline experience shuts down 5 mil+ NYC subway riders from your game every day. Not sure about other cities, but it's a significant use case.

Simple common sense pretty much negates this headline and its premise. To be honest, I can't say that I have a compelling interest in protecting hotel market share. As a resident of NYC, however, I do have an interest in protecting my
