Re: Open Thread
“Free speech” is protection from government persecution for voicing one’s opinions, nothing more. Is the government persecuting Felger for this? If not, then it’s not an issue of free speech. There are always consequences for the things people say, even if they’re protected from government persecution.

Re: Open Thread
Unrelated to Odura's post, but I just thought I'd post the insane stories I've been seeing about different mega-tech-companies building their own cities:
Google's Sidewalk Lab's gigantic 800 acre project in Toronto YCombinator looking to build new cities (plural), or at least improve existing ones Bill Gates' spends a spare $80 million for controlling interest in smart city project in Arizona Wonder how much silicon-valley-esque reinventing the wheel we'll be seeing. These are tech companies, not urban planning or architecture/engineering firms. Last edited by stefalarchitect; 11-12-2017 at 12:33 AM. |

Re: Open Thread
Yesterday Bose announced that they sold off their (freaking incredible) electromagnetic road-cancelling car suspension to a start-up...
If you haven't see the video of the test car gliding over road obstacles, check it out within this article: https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/b...o-clearmotion/ I wish the startup luck in incorporating this into a product someday. |

The new Mythbusters is still fun.
That new BMW electric sports car is good looking, and very sculptural. |

Boston is 14th in the world for a good night out? Never realized the world was so dull!

It wasn't until that extensive domestic travel that I fully appreciated that. European and Asian (and beyond) cities will always be different in their own ways (and are expected to be). Those weren't in my frame of reference...but Boston -vs- similar sized U.S. counterparts is appropriate for comparison. |

Re: Open Thread
Toby's link said "14th in the WORLD," not "14th in the US" too. Boston might be active for US standards, but I think it is genuinely surprising that it ranked so high in the world.

Re: Open Thread
I've never been this close to a raging wildfire of this scale..... The mountains between Oxnard and Ventura are on fire. The winds are 40-50mph. It's miles wide and moving fast. People are losing their homes here.... Losing everything.

Spent a lot of happy times in Manhattan in the late 60's, early 70's. Place been whitewashed since. Some of change, it's good, some bad. Just like everything else.
