I'm intrigued by Prophet. Anybody here using it? Prophet is a lightweight schemaless database designed for peer to peer replication and disconnected operation. Prophet keeps a full copy of your data and (history) on your laptop, desktop or

Not the focus of the article, but very poignant: Children have surprisingly perceptive risk intuition. They know when parents are serious about a threat and when their threats are empty. And they respond to the real risks of parental punis

Well said. Most of the money won't be spent for another two years and what has been spent hasn't been in the private sector. If you're going to propagandize Keynes, at least have the policy match the propaganda and let's see if it actuall

I don't understand why a thunderstorm would have affected this plane. Wouldn't it have been cruising by that time at an altitude immune to weather? Perhaps this was discussed in another thread; I haven't been following the discussions too
