Based on the last thing I read from this guy, I’m surprised he didn’t include having a spouse, kids or friends on his list of avoidable blunders.

I stumbled across this a few weeks ago. It’s an amazing systems simulator. The biggest thing I took away from it is that SAM missile crews may have one of the toughest jobs on the battlefield.

My general working thesis is that 99.9% of the time when people refer to the “deep state,” they just mean “the state.” Aren’t you just referring to regular government institutions or is there something I’m missing from your comment?

I felt really bad for the original maintainer getting dog-piled by people who berated him for not doing his (unpaid) job and basically just bring shame and discredit to himself and the community. Definitely cruel. Though… do we know that th

I assume that, for a variety of reasons (political, economic, cultural), Airbus is under somewhat less pressure to maximize shareholder returns than Boeing has been subject to for last couple decades. Theres probably a pretty interesting ca

I know nothing about Canva. As someone who has been a big fan of Affinity, their products and their pricing model, do I start freaking out now or can I just wait until the acquisition closes?

No, no deeper meaning here. That’s exactly what it’s saying. Well, what it’s actually saying is that the hypothetical employed married person who spends time with his kids and friends is shitty at two of those things. (Perhaps more, or even

It seems like a truly crappy situation, and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this. Looks like a cool product.

Right, but, pay by wire to settle what Meta thinks is outstanding, and then initiate the chargeback process. At least during the pendency of that process, you’ll have that wire transfer documentation that seems to be the only thing Meta can

Ah, no doubt a passenger load from New York’s Idlewild Airport to the Belgian Congo in 15 minutes.

This has more detail than I would have expected, but I see there’s virtually nothing about the reentry bus. From what I’ve read, that’s where most of the secret sauce involving accuracy comes into play.

CVS Caremark is also in on the scam. UHC seems quite clearly to be the good cop - low deductibles, wide network, good coverage - and CVS Caremark is the bad cop who changes my drug availability month to month, makes me jump through prior au

The color “fuchsia” is named after a guy named Fuchs.

Alabama has a higher per-capita GDP than virtually all of Western Europe.

Wow! Never seen the Great Migration depicted like that before. Fascinating.

Doesn’t seem crazy to me. When faced with a situation consisting of basically nothing but unknown unknowns, it’s going to take a while to determine whether anything that happened fell within Swedish jurisdiction.

I don’t know how exactly we got on this topic, but there’s also an excellent Weezer song called “Suzanne.” Edit: I guess it’s actually spelled “Susanne.”

There is definitely a reason why I post that junk to the internet and don’t try to make a living making investment decisions.

No one hates Weezer more than Weezer fans.

As a large language model, I must advise you to play every song off Pinkerton, in order, since that is by far the pinnacle of Weezer’s musical achievement. Some early demos and similar deep cuts would also be acceptable.

Oh, excellent catch - agreed, Gracias, Buss, and probably Ehrenpreis and perhaps Denholm are, at best, questionably independent (and for a couple of them quite clearly not independent). Also agreed that this is the crux of the reasons why t

Health care spending has been basically flat in terms of GDP for the past decade. The doom and gloom of the early part of this century is, so far, not coming to pass, and so it’s not clear at all right now that Medicare/Medicaid is a c

Yes, either that, or a relatively stable fiscal picture coupled with moderate economic growth. Keep the deficit low-ish, and keep posting the growth numbers that have marked most of the last decade, and the debt situation looks a lot more m

Is the U.S. primary deficit really all that much more than GDP growth? Seems like if we could make it a decade or so without deficit-financed tax cuts (TCJA), new entitlements (Medicare Part D) or some catastrophe requiring massive fiscal s

What does a holophonor opera have to do with this? Just kidding. Futurama must hold some kind of record for sheer number of series finales.

If a board following the (well defined) process, the board is, under Delaware law, entitled to famously broad deference to their decisions. If they can’t run an aboveboard process and procure the necessary shareholder approvals, then that’s

Yeah, she’s an excellent communicator. Many of her opinions are also pretty funny too (relatively speaking, of course).

I’m not sure what your point is. There’s a well established standard in Delaware for upholding conflicted transactions and the process for cleansing them ex ante. That this particular transaction lifted the tide for all boats doesn’t mean t

That occurred to me as well. Also, it seemed notable that the one meeting that was not marked by connectivity problems seemed like the one with the audience least likely to have regulatory implications (SFPD/SFFD).

So weird that they all disappeared! And carved “Croatoan” into a tree before that happened! I cannot imagine where they might have gone.
