CEO claims the "The app was sound and good" but there was a "transmission bug" in the code... Other way to say it, if you don't count the mistakes - then the app is excellent.

The current scientific publishing method is pretty much dead. It is absurd, biased, produces terrible results. Promotes inept research, unimaginable waste. Yet dead as it might be most decision-makers and other leeches of science will prete

Perhaps because it is always drawn that way, that the same streamline gets separated then goes over the wing, then goes back together. Then in big letters it says Bernoulli principle. Now that I read about it more, it looks like Bernoulli&#

Energy can just as well be E = mgh (potential energy) or rotational energy E = 1/2 I w^2, or elastic energy E=1/2 k x^2, chemical energy, nuclear energy etc. with momentum nowhere to be found in those formulas. When we talk about

my understanding is that Bernoulli's principle also involves equal transit times. Meaning that the same two positions need to rejoin later. When the sail has no thickness the outer flow cannot go faster and still be a valid Bernoulli e

I would strongly caution against this sort of mindset. Renting is not nearly as pain-free and simple experience as you make it sound. All it takes one bad tenant, longer vacancy, or an expensive home repair to you set back for a decade. Nor

I think banks make their money not on interest rates but on various fees and overheads: each person getting a mortgage pays 10K (or more) to the bank right away. That is huge upfront money in addition to the interest rate. Same with late fe

Correct, it is not the debt itself but the size of it and expected payoffs. If you were coming from an average financial background in America then a 30K student loan to go to an excellent school that sets you up for life would be most cert

As always the problem is not so much the debt but the size of the debt. Don't take on debts that you cannot readily pay back.

This advice is not universally valid. There are plenty of situations where renting is greatly advantageous. Being dogmatic is what everyone needs to avoid. Being preconditioned to the idea that buying is automatically a good decision is to

You are thinking about this backwards. What people love is that the initial price is LOW. They all hope that this will be the final cost. They don't even want to think about paying more. Getting refunds stinks, frankly. All it takes is
