Praxeology goes far beyond rejecting specific empirical studies, it rejects the very concept of learning human behaviour from past data. Or, to quote Mises himself [1]: > The subject matter of all historical sciences is the past. They ca

The transport/distribution network is hardly comparable to consumer appliances, though. The risks and costs are not the same. You don’t pay people to monitor your home electric network 24/7. You don’t risk damaging a power plant w

I'd be interested to understand the design choices behind using protobuf as an interface with LLVM: in my reasoning, it may be more performant, but that serialization step is a very small part of compute, and the serialization format i

You’re comparing an experimental program that lasted 6 years with a company founded 22 years ago. How many payload flights did space-x do 6 years into its existence?
