My father is an owner operator of a trucking company. I helped him run his business after I graduated from college. The way we were able to differentiate was by being extraordinarily reliable with our pickups and deliveries. You can achieve

Modify the Jones act so that the ships don't need to be built in the US, they just need to be owned and flagged by US companies. Labor costs for running the ships are a rounding error when compared to the purchase price of the ship and

I'm sure there is a reason why this can't return a boolean, but the return values here seem suspect at best. Do you actually get any more information out of a 'maybe' response than a 'probably'?

The geothermal projects in Switzerland (and South Korea) used pressurized water to form cracks within the rock (similar to fracking). Also typical geothermal projects need to be near fault lines since that is where the low hanging fruit is.

There has been significant progress over that time period. There were approximately 10,000 cases in 2007. There were 14 cases in 2021. It may take a few more years to get to zero, but that means no one will ever have to deal with this paras

It always seemed a bit nonsensical to me that you can't invest in companies (in the USA) when you can spend your money freely in nearly every other respect. You can waste thousands on gambling, food, clothing, elective surgery, penny s

If you look at the art, it's all just derivative permutation based animal nonsense, self referential crypto memes, or stolen intellectual property. There's nothing of value there. If you look at the "smart contracts", yo

This is a pretty insulting opinion to hold. It's not like the spam messages have gotten infinitely more complex over the last 20 years, or that someone who is a competent programmer just completely forgot everything that they know abou

I don't think the first sale doctrine applies here. This isn't an issue of trademark or copyright. This would likely fall into the realm of a restrictive covenant which are much more common in real estate transactions.

I did not state that this is why we currently have employer based health insurance, just why it came into existence. Many consider this to be the "original sin" of US healthcare policy.

It's not Eisenhower's administration that's to blame, it's FDR's. Employer based healthcare is a result of the stabilization act of 1942. Health benefits were offered as incentives to workers because employers could

The best case scenario I can see is that cryptocurrencies push the US banking system to adopt something like the British "Faster Payment Services". If anyone begins to gain adoption they will be outcompeted by incumbent banks. It

I think the VCs are stuck between a rock and a hard place. It makes sense to invest in "web3" because of the potential power law returns if someone figures out how to make something useful. However, I think we've had enough t

I feel like the 30 second increment is a bit cheesy given the time constraints of classical chess. Magnus was down to less than a minute but can just make some quick moves to add several minutes back to his clock. If you have an increment i

You could store the IP as a 32 bit unsigned int. There's no issue with that, but I would probably recommend nowadays to use an internal cidr or inet type if your database supports that. It probably wouldn't be better to split the
