Troop transports are kind of a red herring here. The issue isn’t moving troops, it’s moving their equipment. You can pretty easily move a division’s worth of troops by air (activate CRAF and requisition a few dozen 777s, boom, done), but it

But, also, seagoing stuff just tends to get worn out in ways that land or even air assets don’t. So 50+ years for a ship is remarkably old and probably quite close to the end of its life, even assuming that the shipowner is taking measures

Haha, nice. I searched and there’s one keygen that also played Crockett’s Theme, but at least it credited it. Then another one I shuffled to was the theme from Airwolf.

Why build one, when you can build two at twice the price?

Speaking of Jell-O: I have heard, and perhaps this is apocryphal, that Tom Lehrer was the inventor of the Jell-O shot.

Once the rockets go up, who cares where they come down? That’s not my department.

It was also paid for by ripping the face of 19th century bondholders who went bust many, many times.

Thanks for the response. It’s breaking my brain a little bit that this isn’t a straightforward breach of fiduciary duties to the corporation and its common stockholders. If an acquirer can deal with top management and holders of preferred s

Just a fascinating map. Like looking into Neuromancer’s cyberspace. Is there a legend of what the different colors mean?

Wow. How did the Windsurf investors feel about that?

Where would the 99% haircut have come into play?

It’s like, what does vesting even mean? Was this a scenario where he lost them because some sort of “cause” event occurred, like leaving to work for a competitor? I can’t imagine that would even be valid under CA law? I’m not even sure who

Excellent point and well stated.

I saw this one time. It wasn’t a whole lot to look at (even in a darkened booth, it was only barely discernible) but that only added to the overall spooky effect of looking back visually into the past to the first instant a visual represent

I really like your point #2. A little bit of me dies every time I see a rail-to-trail project. Granted, many (most? all?) of those lines have approximately a 0% chance of ever being economic again, but there’s also rail-centered redevelopme

I am still not clear on what Open Graph is or how the image was used here. Some visual aids would have helped tremendously. I assume it is how a specific thumbnail is included alongside an embedded tweet or article snippet? From what I can

Horrifying. That beautiful property at the corner of Industrial Drive and Robert E. Lee Street has been desecrated. Will Sweetwater ever recover?

I’m sure they won’t, but it might be annoying to never be able to take a flight that connects in London for the rest of your life. I have no idea if this is a likely or even possible consequence, but that’s one way lots of people have gotte

“if people find other methods to access the site, that is entirely on them - there are no legal consequences for users.” For a site operator who seems really concerned about potential liability under this law, I sure wouldn’t have put this

Reasonable question. Yes, in that case, the house probably would have been fine. The lateral force on concrete pillars, even from tremendous volumes of water, is fairly easily withstood.

Where I live in Texas, we had three “500 year” events in three consecutive years, with the last one probably closer to a 1000 or 10000 year event - more rainfall in one spot than anywhere else ever measured. We’ll see how long that record h

“The exact timeline of Neuromancer is never specified.” This actually isn’t true. I can’t remember how much depends on the rest of the trilogy for nailing down the exact years in which it occurs, but as I recall it’s fairly clear the books

I cannot believe they didn’t replicate the Dark Sky functionality 1:1 in the Weather app.

How do SV equity grant agreements work? I assume that even if he had cliff vested his initial tranche, there’s still a way for the company to cancel or repurchase vested shares if a “for cause” situation existed?

It’s obviously not really $1.5mm, if it had been, someone would have picked it up by now.

I hate subscriptions and dark patterns and the like as much as anyone, but I am not sure putting a six-month pause on your subscription and getting billed in month 7 is “out of the blue.”
