Are these two example well chosen? Seems to me there has been plenty of entrepreneurship in food. So many new companies started in the past perhaps 20 years, and many now surprisingly large. And medecine overall (drugs, machines, care, insu

There are two stages really, right? Pre-microprocessor, it takes some effort to put together a programmable computer. Although now even amateurs implement computers based on 74-series and memory chips without a microprocessor. After the mic

And a nurse practitioner who has years of varied hospital experience including ER is different from one who doesn't. And France places an ER doctor in emergency response ambulances - apparently that has value (and they sometimes park t

Of course, right? And then the article quotes a doctor proud to "put “zero stock” in the tests because she cannot verify their accuracy". I guess she prefers to have her patients go through the massive hassle of finding another ph

This is what suprised me when I did a (very cursory) look in there. It seems some mills do ship back and forth quite a ways along the West Coast. And I don't know that Home Depot and Lowes have that much of the market. They are not the

10% profit margin says not much. Maximum 10% gain is not true for example because a contracted utility has little pressure to improve services, create new services, invent new energy processes, open or serve new markets. They can go with th

That works against a large new entrant. No industry is going to lower their massive collective profit just to shoo away a small new entrant.

In addition to the other response (risks), the economy is not a stable homogeneous field. None of the economy is a stable homogeneous field. Instead it's a bunch of discrete individuals living their life and each focusing on just a few

Not saying it's wrong but that seems a strange. Around here there are still small mills - some with strange strategies where they will drive lumber large distances. Although they do specialize in this or that product. And seem profitab

So perhaps economists need to work on this "comm" issue. At least the ones involved in government stats. "It's not their job" only if they actively make it not their job. I ran into this with NASA. A NASA "scie

That's fair that perception is often wrong - but that's a different issue. Perception is also in large part the very thing that matters when it comes to crime. That is, do I get to live in peace or in constant worry? Do I get my p

Isn't it also a strange disconnect to support squatting to that degree (or generally downgrade, explain away, tolerate most crime) and also wonder about the growth of the extreme right in Europe? (Not just in Europe, obviously). Many w

It's been done again and again by funds. A new fund or fund company convinces someone with some name and reputation to come work for them and they become the name and reputation that gives some credibility and sells the new fund. Clien

Donations. I expect until recently the museum accepted donations of thousands of items at once. Some old private "cabinet of curiosities" or hobby collector's hoarde would be transfered - and nobody would particularly care fo

Yes, there is a wide range of potential employers that can't afford someone full time - but would love part time work by an experienced specialist.

Surplus power resistors are great for this. Less likely to open immediately in a cooling glitch. (And yes, submerged too). It's really unfortunate electronics surplus stores are extinct around here.

Depends on the objective. In some cases, slapping together a few components is fine and straightforward. In particular if you pay attention to how other people are using them - perhaps pay attention to the provided standard schematic and la

You can destructively test samples out of a box of them. But even then the proper current profile that a fuse is supposed to accept or block is far from obvious or intuitive. Reading the spec helps. And then you still have the problem of su

Specifically, fuses (I mean actual fuses) have specific specs and MOSFETS have different specific specs. There is nothing wrong with using fuses if you understand and pay attention to that spec. Indeed a "quickblow" fuse will not

I feel that with keyword-based or other automated screening of applications, there is a strong potential for words that you might use inadvertently in a resume that will immediately make you ineligible for many employers at once. Presumably

Why this (fairly general) obsession to include search in specific note taking tools. Search should (obviously) include both the notes but other documents (calendar, saved research papers, email...) So shouldn't this search be a separat

Interesting. Some crop dusters indeed fly at night. And no, there are no special rules in the US - at least not for the human pilot. Except presumably both the drone and the human aircraft would have lights which might make it easier for th

This might be ripe for self-piloting drones. Let the human crop dusters fly in daylight. While the farmer programs the night mission. And the automatic drones take over at night.

So yes, there is that advantage to the strategy. In the workplace though, sometimes people will not keep coming back to you for the result - but they will still remember that you did not deliver. Have to be careful about that one. Was it re

Currently in the US it seems there is a trend for (some) professors to accept work for credit even much later than the official deadline. Which kind of kills the "just in time" idea: the student gets to decide when to actually tur

Like others here, I have used that to (in effect) limit the amount of time I would spend on assignements. If I started "just in time", then I could only spend "just in time" amount of work before turning in the thing, in

But wasn't it clear that the "pretty acceptable" would have been far better with extra thought and a few more drafts?
