LR always matters, whether or not one cedes a portion of the risk. An insurance program has little value unless it is profitable over time. While some large P&C insurers historically ran their book of business at break-even, and made

That misses a 3 key points: 1) 72% pure loss ratio is ok, but normally for these lines I'd aim for mid 60s. Nothing special to see here.. 2) It took them THREE YEARS to get there, and they were exceedingly poor at selecting and managi

We built the lowest-cost full face respirator mask in the world. As a side project, it has taken on a life of its own. See https://kioma.us/shop/kioma-origami-respirator-mask

We were hosting customers of Joyent in 2006-2008. They were fantastic. I remember having a technical issue and talking directly to the CTO, who was most helpful. Before AWS launched, Joyent (in my opinion) had one of the best hosting serv

Take a look at Linear Tape File System (LTFS), which allows for ad-hoc file retrieval. CrossRoads Systems out of Austin has the leading implementation, and they did bid on this Amazon contract. I have no idea if they won it, though (next
