I appreciate the reply, I hadn't seen these before and I'll do some more research on them. My initial reaction is how does this address the issue of developing more units in dense urban environments? For example, if we convert all

It wasn't like that at all when I worked there. Quite the opposite, people were very quiet so we could do focused work, we did our work, then went home. We usually ate lunch together. Many of my coworkers had kids to go home and take c

I am really sick of the word share. Share your data with us, share your heart rate with us, we just share this with a few of our partners. Sharing is caring, I guess.

I think they are. They are purchasing an asset that others may not be able to afford and making it available. Additionally, they're funding construction of more housing wherever possible. Are tenants just money conduits for the corpora

Right now interest rates are low, they cannot use them as a tool in a crisis, for this reason they are printing money to lower the overall debt obligation of the US. Inflating away our debt. This will eventually lead to inflation at which p

A ton of negativity in the comments here. Greater availability of funding is awesome. I'm working on a project right now as a spinoff of a research contract that I'm going to land and apply with. Very exciting and very timely.

I've always wanted a tool that finds duplicate code (with minor variable name differences) so I can factor it out. Often when prototyping I'll copy a function thinking it will change a lot or maybe just not knowing what will chang
