This is so important I put mine on, and avoid taking it off until I'm on the ground again.

Back then it would have given them a competitive advantage over their peers because of faster end to end performance. Other than some of your head office folks (accounting, HR, etc) there wasnt much of a greater operating efficiency to be g

The rail industry has been trying to complete and end to end lashup merger since the 50's - had that been allowed in the 50's we might not have needed to spend billions on Conrail in the 70's and 80's. A different regula

They built the railroads, often on their own dime, and paid taxes by the fistful for them. Their competition was subsidized by the general government, and continues to be every year. If you want to argue that nationalizing railroads should

NS and UP do not meaningfully compete today, their networks have very little overlap.

I'm not a fan of this court - but what thing that was 100's of years of precedent was torn down by this court? Yes, they've refused to do certain things until lower courts rule, but I dont see that as a huge incongruence.

I got my ticket at 14 in 1996, which led me to a career in the LMR/Telecom world - I have few regrets, my job is close enough to my hobby that it never gets old. I did my extra on a lark without studying for it. I did end up getting a

The issues that killed webOS had nothing to do with its technical merits (which were many) - it instead was a failure of product management. * The TouchPad was priced too high for a new entrant with embryonic app support. * It probably need

webOS very much feels like a path not taken in mobile technology, it really was slick to use, even though as this fella mentioned it wasnt polished in terms of what was released.

You always lose something when doing optical printing - you can often gain things too, but its not 1:1. I adore this hybrid workflow, because I can pick how the photo will look, color palate, grain, whatever by picking my film, then I can u

I love those USCSB videos! The biggest thing we have done is managed to protect the general public, which IMO is what should be done.

Very much agreed - and actually the fact that people can poison the water table is the exact problem we have, abstract and diffuse risks (tragedy of the commons type stuff) is treated one way, but the chance of risk to an individual is trea

rear backup cameras are one of the cases where I think the math falls apart - its like 250m dollars to save approx 30 lives a year - where is does work is reduced body damage to vehicles, however I dont know thats enough to mandate them.

The biggest issue I have, is we allow large organizations to make decisions on difuse/abstract risks - often without owning the liability from those choices, but roll many liabilities up for an individual choice to an organization - it

The regulatory and legal strangleholds we have put on modern society allows large organizations to roll the dice with abstract and diffuse risks - often without owning the liability from those choices, but often preclude individuals from ta

I think one of the problems of modern society is the level of risk people deem acceptable - its now near zero, instead of "reasonable risks". Aside from that, culturally the value we impart on a single human life has also changed

Its better to know who is stealing from you (and how much) than not - sometimes the evil you know is better than the evil you dont.

The reality is that modern (meaning LTE) public networks are more secure today, than they have been, its also trivial to bring an LTE base station with you now - with the hardware at this point being no more complex than a controller driven

The escape hatch is OpenSilver basically. A clean rewrite isnt possible for a variety of business reasons.
