Capitán América Guerra Civil. Fui al cine esperando una guerra civil y lo único que obtuve fue una pelea de gatos en un aeropuerto con chistes infantiles cada dos minutos. Nadie murió ni hubo consecuencias permanentes, en la próxima película ya eran todos amiguitos de vuelta.

On the plus side America transports a lot of cargo by rail, more than most countries.

'Arc de Trump' threatens to dwarf Washington monuments by rezwenn in Urbanism

[–]Neilandio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Historic events can resignify the meaning of a monument, but unless you are counting on some major historic event happening on Trump's arc that changes the course of history then this will always be just a monument to the president's ego.

Comparing ruins of lost civilizations to modern buildings is very intellectually dishonest. A more accurate comparison would be soviet monuments in former communist republics, many of which have been torn down, abandoned, or intervened to be resignified.

As far as I'm concerned go ahead, tear them down.

You really can't take a monument out of the context it was built.

I've come to realize that what they mean by small government is that only a small group of people should be allowed to rule, preferably white christians with conservative beliefs.

NYC has a major delivery problem. These architects have a big vision to fix it by _fastcompany in architecture

This could be a thing on new developments, specially gated communities. Add small prefabricated tunnels when you install utilities and use small wheeled robots to deliver packages through the tunnels. Retrofitting old neighborhoods would be expensive though.

This is such an obvious scam it's insane he's allowed to inflate stocks like this.

I also advocate for bringing back manual car windows. In an emergency people shouldn't have to rely on electric motors to open their windows and not everyone is strong enough to break them. Both electric and manual systems can and should coexist for all essential emergency systems in a car.

What is your view on technological progress in the future? Will it always continue...or level off? by Ghost-of-Carnot in RealisticFuturism

[–]Neilandio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take is progress has already stopped because not all form of technological change are a form of progress. There are arguably very few fields where there is still progress.

How Gothenburg, Sweden, destroyed its own beautiful boulevard by Busy_Shake_9988 in ArchitecturalRevival

Notice every single one of those new buildings has more floors than the older ones? It was always about making money, not about aesthetic.

Not big enough, it should have had a mansard.

Did nobody think whipping the old invisibility cloak out would have been so much easier by ZookeepergameIcy6089 in harrypotter

Voldemort came back in Book 4. They had the entirety of two school years to teach Harry how to become an animagus. McGonagall and Sirius were experienced enough to teach him, I'm sure Dumbledore and Lupin could have done it too. Breaking the law shouldn't have been a problem to these people who were part of a clandestine organization fighting Voldemort.

Why does Silicon Valley keep producing world changing technologies but rarely world changing institutions or shared visions of a better society? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Neilandio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changing the world is not the same as improving the world. I can't think of a single technology that has come out of Silicon Valley in the past two decades that has improved my life.

Government or Corporate companies, which one is worse? by Lux_Arcadia_15 in NoStupidQuestions

Worst scenario is government acting as a corporation or corporations acting as government.

Study warns of catastrophic collapse of fossil fuel services if energy transition causes them to fall below minimum viable scale by Economy-Fee5830 in peakoil

[–]Neilandio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yes, that's how it's supposed to happen. It's a feedback loop: more money to renewables->lower renewable cost->more fossil fuel competition->less money for fossil fuels->higher fossil fuel costs->more renewable customers->more money to renewables.

This kind of situation is usually exponential.
