No other ships were impacted by the storm. If the captain was a European or American national he'd be all over the news. His identity is newsworthy. My guess is that the Western media is having trouble confirming the identity of the

Related question, on the demand side. I'm looking to have a pdf of a world war two unit book printed and hardcover bound, to recreate it as a gift. I'd like high quality but the online services in this space seem low-quality. I

Part of the problem is that the hobbyist market is overwhelmingly PHP, which Lambda doesn't support natively.

The other solution is shrinking the size, scope, and complexity of government. Trump is able to abuse the tax system because the code is impossible to understand, which creates the conditions for corruption.

I don't think this is true at the CEO level. A big reason why CEO's get big pay packages is to incentivize all the aspiring middle managers to work hard.

The F35 is the Space Shuttle of the military budget. Does everything, but nothing well. Is so complicated and un-maintainable that it consumes the entire budget. Let's hope the F35 doesn't cost as many lives as the Space Shuttl

This is clearly a development phase. 30-40,000 people a year die on US roads, almost all from driver error.

The FDA blocked private testing at a critical point early in the coronavirus. The FDA keeps many lifesaving treatments out of the US, at a large and unseen cost. For example, the FDA blocked UVB sunscreens for a decade after they were per

I agree but why supersonic passenger jet (a product category with a high profile failure) versus starting with a next-gen regional jet? Or a luxury private jet?

Business travel is lucrative but only like 12% of the air travel market. It seems the market opportunity is a modern Zeppelin, not the next Concorde. An airship that is environmentally efficient, fun to travel on, has plenty of passenger

A wealth tax would have limited the amount of early investment available to Amazon (and the start-up ecosystem as a whole), and it very well might have forced liquidation of shares at critical points in the company's early history when

There's no theft, it is ineptitude at Citibank. The economic loss for ineptitude should rightly fall on Citibank's shareholders.

Brigade's opinion of the situation does not make it a mistake. The question is more the process at Citibank and Revlon. And prepayment isn't really a mistake in the sense that Brigade received an unjustified windfall. I think B

Maybe not, if the bank owed you $3 million, but wasn't due until next year.

But the hedge fund is owed that exact amount of money from Revlon. It is an accidental pre-payment by Citibank, it isn't just a clerical error where the recipient has no claim on the funds. And it is likely that Revlon is going to de

Yeah another thing that happened in 1981 was Congress created the first R & D tax credit. I wonder if that impacted the structure of labs-- it definitely has increased net research spending but has a lot of rules.

It is pretty strange to blame the "more relaxed antitrust environment in the 1980s" when it was the 1982 anti-trust breakup of Ma Bell that destroyed Bell Labs and ended the monopoly profit flows that subsidized the telecom labs.

Agree 100%. The reason is that the big tech contractors hire legions of H1-B visa holders (and lobbyists to protect the H1-B program). These workers are paid less than Americans and are tightly bound to their employer-- they risking losin

Congress, when passing a law, can't anticipate and prescribe what to do in every possible case or scenario. That implementation detail is the role of the executive branch, with oversight by the courts. That's already played out
