Say goodbye to the prizes.

Highly recommend reading this book. It's actually a fairly quick read and is a bit of a departure from his other works and areas of interest.

Also not mentioned in the article, Crary co-heads one of the best independent publishers, Zone Books. And every book is beautifully and minimally designed by the legendary studio of Bruce Mau.

Disclosure: author is my wife's grad school advisor.

I too read the article, but "white flight" on Long Island happened after Levittown and in other areas. Howard Stern is actually a byproduct of this, his family refused to move.

They've done studies and the "victory gardens" never really contributed or impacted the food supply. It was more of a morale thing, way to sell bonds.

Forget the cite, but the first American suburb layouts were actually based on cemetery plots. Because you can't build cemetery plots on top of each other, they were forced to create all the artificial winding roads and figure out how to maximize space.

So if you grew up in a suburb, your grave will essentially be the same.

Would love to see the paper as well. Everything you said about antioxidants is true and I have equity in a company that has spent millions on researching antioxidants at multiple universities, on two continents. Most benefits that companies make claims on are only seen after ingesting impossible to eat"natural" quantities of the antioxidants.

Even more interesting, the heavy metal claims. Heavy metals are generally leeched from the soil and to conduct a test such as this you need two very different plots of land. If the heavy metals were in the solutions applied to the conventionally grown crops, then it would be pretty easy to know where they came from and alert the governing agencies. Therefore, they came from the soil.

Although there are no real enforced standards for organic in US, most private companies that set the standards have some specifications for the soil. If you were to convert a field from conventional to organic, the general rules state that the field needs to become farrow and tested for at least 7 years. In theory this does gets rid of chemical pesticides, but there are no major studies to prove it and there is no impact on residual heavy metals.

And as someone that grew up in the produce, food and beverage business I will say that just because something is labeled organic, it does not mean it is organic. It certainly does not mean that the private company they chose to "inspect" there farms followed through with all of their privately chosen standards. My family's company has caught more than a few competitors and business partners cheating the system, selling organic product in quantities that the industry knows the company cannot meet in terms of production.

General rule of thumb for buying organic: is it smaller and more "meh" looking than the conventional fruit or vegetable... it's probably organic. If it's processed and packaged... it's anyone's guess. There certainly is no governing body trying to enforce standards. After all, regulations would only cut the profit margins for the already established major organic players.

Attention companies going public in the near future: this is how you raise your stock price

And why do you do this? Because you're paid in stock and actual internal projects are not going to "wow" analysts. When in doubt spend money on what's popular.

What you presume is that IF this is the case, HP would think this is a problem.

Fairly certain he's basing this article on the top /r/gaming post the other day about trading. He only mentions hours passing between trades.

Also, I know writers at NY Mag and others that have literally said to me "I don't know why you go on Reddit, I get paid to find stories on there and I still hate using it." HuffPo and everyone else literally just sits on the site waiting to take content.

In a world without paint, metal files, sandpaper, grinding discs, tape, interchangeable bike parts, semi-smart bike thieves, etc...this would make sense.

/u/Patrick_Devine is spot on and the best place to test this concept would be the bike theft capital of the world: Amsterdam
