In general, contracts often are a good leading indicator of how a counterparty thinks and is likely to behave. Do they start with egregious terms and conditions, do they flex on some of those are all good signals. One example: does the coun

I live in the suburbs of NYC. All of NYC's drinking water is stored in our backyards. So much so that the NYPD patrols this area, 90 miles outside their geography. The math has certainly not been done. There are no cities without subur

They already do. IBM has ~100K employees in India out of some 250-300K. That same labor budget would pay for 1/3rd that in the US. Edited to add: The local Indian economy doesn't sustain those many IBM employees. They are servicin

Spot on. And the inverse - forcing the govt to dispense the grant is not reversible. Once that money is spent in buying equipment, salaries etc. it's not coming back.

Look to a better source for some nuance. You may still disagree, and the court might as well, but there is more complexity here than "Trump bad, Zeldin worse, poison everyone". https://news.bloomberglaw.com/environ

That's one of several tactics. But if someone did apply and was close enough, you still have to do the interview and reject song and dance. Better to deter applications in the first place.

Not if it is an HSA like setup which is pre tax. But you're right, this taxation intertwine is another tangle that shouldn't exist. Too much energy is spent by everyone trying to optimize take home pay, coverage etc.; and lower wa

Healthcare thru employment began as a perk for employees. Everyone else just paid out of pocket for regular care. And yes, it was priced into wages. Even today, most people will pay several hundred dollars a month for insurance; the employe

The national divorce was tried once in 1860. Hundreds of thousands died to effectuate it or stop it. When people say the north fought to preserve the union, I always thought it meant the physical union. But recently, I saw a lecture by Gary

Just look at any media agency (OMG as an example). There are CEOs up the wazoo, one for North America, one for EU etc. In practice, these are just internal P&Ls.

Yup! Public markets are at all time highs. Other hard assets are also at all time highs. This sort of speculative investment only makes sense when nothing else is attractive. And it's cash from asset managers. Its not 10Bn worth of com

That was super interesting to watch. Only 4 mins long. The supervisor was visibly sweating during the cutover. I'd love to see something similar at GCP or AWS.

Point taken, but USPS asks for $2 for an address change for verification.

Yeah, the title is nonsense. The military is sufficiently large as a buyer to demand RtR in every contract. Perhaps they just don't want to fight for those clauses.

Well, only if the one training model continued to function as a going business. Their amortization window for the training cost is 2 months or so. They can't just keep that up and collect $. They have to build the next model, or else p

It's all storytelling. And when a good story is being told, the audience understands that it's a caricature with a lot of truth and a bit of simplification. US TV is endlessly about reducing a certain subset of the US to a bit of

This is one example of why I've stopped listening to climate change alarmists. Instead of doing the grunt work of local utility maintenance, it's so much easier to blame "climate change". The climate may be changing, but
