I understand why it's kept secret during negotiation, but the terms of the secrecy kept representatives from copying out portions of the text for analysis during the negotiations. This is significant because the 90 day time line is ins

I don't think it's possible to conclude that the CIA employee records were not hacked in separate attempts - only that there is no public record of a hack. But that's poor proof, if there were CIA records were separately stol

I'm basing it on a rough mental model. Let's assume there is zero difference between the quality of full time people and part time people, but, being people there is distribution of people that a) need to be trained over time to h

But the customer 'hassle' rate just went up, your internal efficiency also went down by whatever it cost to fix the problem, so there had better be some big benefits to this method showing up in other areas.

How is that tracking different for a full time person vs a person who works for flex? Basically full time employment makes the workforce more sticky, and whatever performance quality process you run with the workforce will retrain or remove

Isn't the probability of something going wrong higher if the delivery infrastructure isn't staffed with full time people? I would guess that mishandling, loss, misdelivery, theft would all be more likely under the flex model.

Best estimates with some model of the Laffer curve as a given - of course experts disagree on what values that curve actually traces. In addition, the effect of the curve where it has been tested on the tax cut side has not been convincing

So exempt the taxation of property up to some threshold. Or one primary residence.

So why didn't data from the monitoring suggest a study was needed much earlier?

So why isn't there some sort of post-approval monitoring system for drugs? With aircraft and cars we have enough data captured that problems can be identified and traced.

If you take the Pell Grant share as a rough indication of proportion of students that might get drop out or stretch out their study over longer times due to financial straits, Vassar has a 22% share vs 40% for UC Irvine this year. Also Vass

CA has relatively high taxes and labor protections vs other US states and it seems to do ok. I'd say that Euro nations have most of your list, but a high level of bureaucracy regarding business licensing and a conservative business cli

Though I think I'd like 3D touch just fine, I feel like it will be a difficulty to provide support for less tech centric family members. Something like the left and right mouse buttons and single vs double click, now touch lighter&#x2F

It's a question of local vs global optimization. Do we only consider energy generation tech on its current path, or explore other possible paths to lower cost tech? It's unknown if some alternate energy tech could provide lower co

I hate the dynamic dialog underneath the map search box that automatically shrinks and expands in and out with various location information on it. It seems to always close when I want to look at it, and expand to cover the area of interest

i.e. don't confuse a statistical characterization of the data with more fundamental physical processes from which the statistics arise. Though that said, is there a scientific way to categorize the difference between models for one vs

All the worry that people like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have over strong AI is misplaced. In the rule-of-profit era, algorithms running with disregard to humanity are already in charge, not executing AI software on a compute cluster, b

The difficult part of arguing economics is that it's a feedback loop - not even a clean loop but a messy cyclic network. One can point a myriad of direct relationships between elements of the network which are true, yet completely miss

It's not that they don't consume, it's that that don't consume to the same degree of past demographics (they simply can't). That consumption would have worked its way through many hands (businesses & employees)

The crash (or correction) of 2015 might be because of student loans & labor participation rates of recent graduates. The load is such that many of them could not grow into the consumer role to the degree that the economy needed of them

If you stack it up against the just the manufacturing step, I agree completely. But in certain niches, if you compare against the manufacture, transport, inventory, logistics costs etc, then maybe there's a few more areas where 3d pri

Many think of 3D printing taking over low-cost high-volume production. In that area there are real economic and tech hurdles. But, the niche of 3d printing in the aerospace industry (or any low volume, high-cost, high-complexity parts) is a

Not to mention that airports can also be rich RF environments, and extra sources of noise pose extra complexity.
