A little dated [2018], but still rings true: The average tenure for engineers at many major tech companies is ~3 years. Thus, you'd expect new hires at a rate of 30% annually just to maintain staffing levels. To determine headcount gr

Just wait until you read about John Law's antics in the early 1700s in creating fractional reserve banking & central banks... No way that ponzi scheme could hold up!

They're using aerogel for its transparency & thermal insulation properties. Are there any other good contenders that are easier to procure -- e.g. if you're shooting for practicality rather than record-setting?

To be fair, America-induced vaccine hesitancy isn't just a byproduct of the modern zeitgeist; the CIA has been using vaccine drives as cover for foreign operations for decades, including the most recent documented use in 2011. https:&
