The fire department can do surprise inspections of businesses to insure they are complying with fire codes. If it’s unsafe, they can close the business until the issues has been resolved. I wouldn’t call it heavy enforcement, and it’s not p

I would be curious if Amazon is using Fedex for its deliveries which are the most expensive to perform (rural area) while delivering all the lowest cost deliveries themselves (urban areas, a few miles from the distribution center). Fedex ma

Boeing's defense contracts make it too big to fail. Sure, huge fines might deflate its shares/exec's comp packages, but I don't think the risk of giant fines endangers Boeing the way they might other businesses.

Part of the issue is that the speed limit often times dictates how the street is designed. In my city, the default speed limit for city streets was 30mph. Safety advocates lobbied for and achieved lowering that limit to 25mph. The goal was

I wanted to love the XR, but it was too big. I’d prefer a 4.5” phone, but ended up with an iPhone X as a kind of cheaper, smaller, currentish iOS device.

Ha. In 2000, there were about 9 million Americans between 18 and 20 years old, and about 200 million people older than 20. Even now, people 20-40 are a minority of the voting populace. It is unfair to blame the outcome of all the elections,

I am interested by society's desire to blame an entire generation's worth of young people for how they turned out. Millennials did not ruin the economy in 2008, make a college education cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, or im

I am always amazed at how little of the total bill insurance pays for normal visits. By the time you include copays, coinsurance, and the insurer's negotiated rates, nearly half of what the doctor gets paid is paid by me.

I found value in understanding how disconnected chains of command/advising can impact decision making, as well as lessons in assuming how your adversaries will interpret your actions is not always correct. It certainly is an approachab

If anyone is interested in reading a modern, hopefully fictional take of a similar situation, I recommend the 2020 Commission Report by Jeffery Lewis. https://www.amazon.com/Commission-Report-Nuclear-Attacks-Aga...

Walk Score was acquired by Redfin in 2014. Walk scores are on their listing pages, but I am not sure why they don't allow you to filter by Walk Score in the Redfin search UI. https://www.geekwire.com/2014/redfin-bu

Interesting. I don't think many have the expectation that they have the right to watch a Netflix movie they streamed in perpetuity, as they do with Kindle books or iTunes purchases.
