The New Geography of Jobs
It also coincides with "return to urban centers" movement.
It's more than that. It's a general trends for cities with a certain mix of ingredients (universities, trade, enough mass) that are getting the big winz. Check Enrico Moretti The New Geography of Jobs.
These trends have been occurring everywhere on the planet, even in poor countries. We have just been slow to recognize it (and thus capitalize on the advantages and to deal with the human cost in cities and towns that cannot make the transition.)

Re:NO!
Or get an adjustable wrench with a built in hammerhead (although, the increased width of that would probably get in the way in some applications). Why stop at two functions, why not a adjustable wrench, hammer, and spud all in one?

What he means is that he forgot to click on "post as AC".
So here we have the proof. creimer says he never posts as AC but it is obviously a lie. cremier chats with himself all day long on
/., simulating fights with trolls in order to post more link spam.The message creimer posted above has been posted on
/. at least a zillion times, obviously by creimer, as AC. -

Re:Here they come...!
The O'Reilly Rust book still hasn't shipped yet. I think the pub date has been pushed back about five times. O'Reilly is pretty careful, so what that probably means is that they kept waiting for a stable build to fix the problems they were running into. But then the fixed build introduced new problems, and so...

Re:Amazon Prime
Well, what about heavy things that cost a lot to ship then? Let's try Lodge Cast Iron.
It's $45.06 whether I'm on my phone or my computer, logged in or not, private or not, T-Mobile or Wifi.
Still the same.. still the same... the same for laundry detergent...
Can you give an example? I've never been able to find one, and nobody's ever cited one; they just say that Amazon does it.

Re:Specific Example
Wow. How about a simpler answer, the supply dried up. That $24 price is "fulfilled by Amazon", not sold by them. It is sold by Goods on sale. More over, it is listed as "Back-ordered. Due in stock July 28 -- order now to reserve yours". So nothing in your conspiracy theory adds up.

Specific Example
According to my receipt, Washburn Mills Chickpea Rotini on Amazon was $12.48 on Friday June 30th.
A few weeks later, Chickpea Rotini was ~$18.99.
Today it costs $24.97.
Why the 100% increase in less than 30 days? Could it be that Sam's Club and WalMart stopped carrying it?
Maybe Amazon is taking a page out of WalMart's playbook. Undercut prices until the competition gives up, then raise them to any level that consumers will pay. If this is the overall pattern, then it is an abuse of a monopoly.

Re:Fat people can't help it?
Read the book, then come back to the discussion. It's truly fascinating. I also suggest "The Obesity Code":

Re:ONE SQUARE MILE?!
Those glass rangetops have some drawbacks. Your pans need to have completely flat bottoms or they heat unevenly for one.
I don't think I've ever had a pan that didn't have a flat bottom.
They also don't put out as much heat, so if you're cooking something that needs very high heat they don't work as well.
Hmm. Never noticed a problem with that.
Finally, if you do spill something on it and it burns it can be a bitch to clean the burned on residue off of the surface. You have to use rubbing compound to get it clean.
No, you just use a razor blade and scrape it off. Like one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Stanley...

Re: Why is this modded up?
Phantom, glad to see that you are following me! I must be having a good impact on your life.
Since you do not read a good deal, let me help put your post in the correct context. You are missing key insights into the situation that can only be gained by gathering information from a wide range of sources and taking the time to understand things.
When Bush entered office, he had a policy of reducing U.S. disengagement. In his first year or so as president, he has begun to pull back from external nations and reduce what he deemed the excessive use of force used by the previous administration. He was very much opposed to nation building. Tragically, history altered his thinking to make him one of the greatest nation building presidents.
On September 11th, a great tragedy occurred. Thousands of people lost their lives and even first responders were targeted while trying to save them. The nation was in shock, and it was pissed. They wanted blood. They wanted revenge. There were calls to nuke the Muslims back into the stone age. It would have been very easy to give it. It would have been the popular thing to do.
Then, a remarkable thing happened. The dogs of war were chained by Bush. Instead of plunging us into a war of extermination, he did the unpopular thing and held off until all the forensic evidence was gathered. Instead of broadly targeting Muslims, he tried to find out the exact offshoots that were responsible and targeted them. This took 30 days. To you, it may seem meaningless, but the in the mood of the country at the time, this was nearly unforgivable.
When operation enduring freedom started, it was swift, surgical and brutally effective. Bush has taken time to try to separate out those who wanted us dead and those of a different fate. He began a program to feed and educate poor Aghanies at the same time the attacks were taking place. He wanted to show that America was a place where we would meet our foes with justice, but show compassion to the downtrodden. It was one of the greatest moments of restraint in history. He turned a bloodbath into a surgical strike of hopeful liberation. I would argue for this, he should have gotten a Nobel Peace prize. Instead, the next president, who gave the world widespread assassination by robot drone, got one for being black. The world has no lack of irony. I digress.
You may not believe all this, but it was well documented in a book. The book was not written by some right when demagogue as you fear, but by the left leaning Bob Woodward. Woodward was one of journalists who found the corruption in the Nixon whitehouse and bravely pursued it, ultimately bringing down a president. Before 9/11, he was doing a piece to try to understand this presidency better after a bitter campaign that was still contested in many people's mind. After the dark day, he was given near full access to the west wing, so that he could chronicle the decisions and thoughts that went into the response. Bush believed that it was important in a democracy for people to understand why their leaders did what they did, so he offered transparency. Again, it would have been easy to go the other way.
https://www.amazon.com/Bush-at...
If you can get the time and tear yourself away from youtube long enough, it is an excellent read. It is not always flattering to the Bush administration. It shows good points and bad.
I understand you were also including the Iraq war in your "pithy" comment. But to understand the full tragedy of that war, you have to take the time to understand the events leading up to it, and the decision making processes of those involved. Until you do, you opinions on the matter are likely corrupted by childish blog posts and hit pieces designed to denigrate a president of the opposition party. Read the book, and I would love to discuss with you more. The question is, can you leave your bubble? -

Junior Genius Kits-Blinky Lights
The Junior Genius Blinky Lights kit provides a good introduction to electronics and hands-on experience with real electronics parts. It comes with a book that's aimed at total beginners.
We've used with grade school students (grade 4-7), but there's enough content for high-school students or adults getting into electronics for the first time. It uses a breadboard so soldering is not required to connect the parts.
See the Junior Genius Kit
Amazon.com Junior Genius Blinky Lights Kit
It is a good follow up to Snap Circuits (using plastic puzzle pieces) which is designed for a younger audience.
There's more learning and troubleshooting when students have to learn how to use a breadboard. And it gives a lot more flexibility to build your own things. It's like building with Lego instead of building a model.
