skyscraper

As you drive up this hill, the top of a skyscraper is framed by the road and trees nearby, and it looks absolutely massive.

There's a minimum size of an apartment building where a concierge is not a complete waste of money, and it's probably somewhere in the small-skyscraper range.

Yeah, but in general any skyscraper will end up being a relatively CO2-efficient way to house people.

Tunnels far enough down that surface settling doesn't occur, tunnels far enough down to bypass skyscraper pilings.

Here's a terrifying video of a skyscraper farm in Japan swaying gently after an earthquake in 2011.

Two 100m high skyscrapers only make a 200m high skyscraper if you place one on top of the other.

There aren't very many other things that two or three people can do that will credibly take down a skyscraper.

Or maybe you want to find the height of an average skyscraper so you want to add and then divide.

Most software starts as a small shed, and ends up as a skyscraper...

It's the PHP of databases: it more or less works, but you're relying on a cardboard skyscraper built on a foundation of poop.

This would all be fixed very quickly if it was legal to buy some land, demolish what's on there, and build a skyscraper instead.

If you asked an engineer who's an expert at building bridges to then build a skyscraper, they're likely to have estimates that are off-base.

Of the places I was sleeping, only the Japanese hotel could really be called "a modern skyscraper".

I suppose I would rank this picture a lot higher than a picture of a skyscraper in the list of funniest pictures, but neither would be above the "laugh" threshold.

"This would all be fixed very quickly if it was legal to buy some land, demolish what's on there, and build a skyscraper instead." "Economics concerns itself with what actually happens when you incent people though, not what we intend by those incentives." Simple narratives make for good rhetoric but poor action.
