Much of this is whipsaw effect. First the pandemic dramatically dropped air traffic, then recovery saw relatively high rates of travel return. Staffing would be pressed to keep up even if wages were good.

My guess is he was going after some subtle points that are not normally the focus in this genre, so for many readers it is going to come across as hollow.

To me it seems conscientious. It is good to know if story elements are likely to trigger issues from some historical parallel or other such. This is kind of like taking a moment to consider any scientific experiment in order to check if i

Conceptually kind of interesting, but not clear how to make it work and this writing has a lot of distracting slop. Blockchain coins have proven to be extremely volatile and as such are probably not a good foundation for anything. Seastea

It has been a while since I evaluated these, so this list is probably not all that good right now. That doesn't change the fact that Shopify is flat out not that good whether you are comparing features or price. And this is all the m

Also sad that Shopify isn't all that good. Their scale enables them to have a community with helpful guides and videos and stuff, but the actual product is arguably less sophisticated than what competitors offer. What they have is a

I am referring to the United States. In my youth I traveled a great deal, especially around the Midwest and Boston-Washington DC corridor and nearby countryside, much of which has since been developed. If you do a search for long term hous

Take just the roof alone. On a typical house roof replacement is at least a few thousand dollars and for a nice house in an urban area it will cost at least ten thousand and maybe much more. Even with good materials and installation roofs

It looks like the steep upward curve starts about when the Internet and social media became broadly available. That could be involved, though it could also be something less obvious like changes to use of language or acceptability of beari

The Shinkansen also use cylindrical wheels on flat rails. The solution is to spend a large amount of effort and money into maintaining both the wheels and the rails. The amount of maintenance that BART train wheels and tracks get is much

If your goal is to make cars that are 38% lighter than other rolling stock then you are not going to want to make use of the parts from the heavier cars.

There was little if any cooperation like that. The BART engineers were there own little tribe and let people know from up on high how things would go. This wasn't just the choice of gauge, it was everything about the design. In part

It is an amazing contrast with the situation when I was younger. House prices were bounded by wages and were understood to be depreciating assets. That is, without constant investment they lost their value and became unusable and difficul

The product that lifted Apple out of mediocrity and into the public eye was the iPod. The iPod, especially in its initial release, had a feature list that was explicitly derived from the failings of competing products. The idea was to tak
