The hit to in-flight productivity will be enormous. Then again, this falls into the same 'collateral damage' category as speed bumps - saves lives but also shortens lives with air and noise pollution, interferes with paramedics, i

Poland, Russia - these are not exactly cheap countries. What makes data services so inexpensive in those locales? I know that in Russia the telcos were able to grab the spectrum at almost zero cost. Bad for the state budget, great for telco

Quote from him ca 2006 - we haven't seen a nationwide housing bubble. Predicting is hard, even if you have tons of data. Greenspan used to take long hot baths (according to his book I read) to finalize the estimates. Guess what, he was

Food is already a 'subscription'. We sign up with protein, fat, and carb service providers (e.g. chicken, if I may) and we pay for their services on a daily basis. Sometimes we kill the underperforming providers and eat them too.

To be fair, I haven't had a single case of fraudulent withdrawals happen to me. But I'm curious why would a credit card transaction be more protected? It's the same purchase 'in obligation', isn't it? My checki

I think Norway has the best cards to play this game in a fully integrated way. They have the right tax policy in place, they have consumers who are trained to buy cars based on value-for-money as opposed to status, they have hydro energy in

According to the EIA [0], wind energy reached 5.6% of total electricity production. Having worked with raw EIA data I can say that the inputs are not very reliable: a) a lot of smaller farms are not included in EIA data b) reporting is volu
