What kind of turnover do they have at the Economist? The writing seems a lot like a student newspaper staffed by really smart people who have studied a year or two of economics or international relations.

Are we searching for the utility minimizing solution? There are times when I wouldn't choose $1,350 to have my flight delayed by 30 minutes, and times when I'd happily take $100 to have a 2 hour wait shifted to before my fligh

Furthermore, neither of those accidents were anything like the worst case scenarios possible. They required heroics individual beyond what was imagined necessary in their designs to keep the disasters so small. I think the issue is further

They also argued that the optical drive could not be oriented vertically. I actually really liked how easy it was to reposition the screen frequently, so that I changed my seating position more often.

This seems like such an obvious way to use bookmarks in the toolbar, and it keeps me from using Safari more often.

It worked with my Google Voice number just now. Could they have changed the policy? I did sign up with my iPad (with cell service) first then iPhone, so it was probably more open to not using the device's phone number.

Some of the tiny VPS providers accept $12-20 up front for a year of service and might disappear before the year is out, but it isn't a big deal because they are so cheap. I imagine they wouldn't know how to monetize the data, but

Couldn't your VPS provider sell information about what you're accessing? I ask because, I use a cheap VPS for a VPN, but wonder if it actually accomplishes anything.

How does this compare to the implementations of Scala in Jupyter notebooks? I was assuming that it would be something more like Matlab's gui environment or maybe RStudio. It could be helpful to add an introductory paragraph, especially

I've used SoftEther VPN software on the type of cheap VPS you find on lowendbox.com. I notice little if any change in speed. If anything, download speeds seem more consistent in speed without long pauses (or momentary bursts in speed).

There is the popular argument that it takes many more glasses to wash the glass than it contains, but the people quoting this statistic never talk about bread plates or all the cloth on the table. These aren't impossible things to st

It's already possible to swap the battery pack on a Tesla Model S faster than a gasoline car can be refilled.[1] That is special equipment, but presumably modular batteries that are quickly bolted into a large cavity on the underside o

That isn't what your link says. The reviewer was imperfect, and Musk still wrote "Faith in @nytimes restored" as though he were the aggrieved party. The journalist who made mistakes resembles customers, and his experience sho

There was the case of the unfavorable NY Times review. The Tesla was sensibly designed so that when the car was parked in an extremely cold garage, the batteries were actively heated to protect them from a damaging freeze. That all makes se

Would you say that achieving orbit is a problem of achieving velocity more than lifting to a certain altitude, and that wings are a delicate tool for decelerating when coming back to earth?

Saudi Arabia relies on happening to be in control of Mecca for its identity, and appearing to be stable for its survival. A productive (regardless of the sincerity) friendship with the US and oil revenue-supplied treasury support those goal

This seems like a really strange argument to double down on. There is an overlap of people who discount harrassment based on salary, and people who discount fatal brutality by citing an unimportant crime. Instead it's the same outlook
