Surely that's only half the story. A competent customer has got to know low balling now just defers "unforeseen" costs later. If I've done 100 projects surely it's occurred to somebody to look at bid v. actual to ga

Yah you'd think with all the management know how in the US we'd be better not worse. US medicine and US education are the other two sectors where things suck too. Not coincidentally these three areas are what make it hard for a lo

Yes, true by definition. But the article is trying to look past the definition to see what's really going on. Nobody says top says I'm 99% busy so that's as good as it gets

A question and point on resolving racism without giving up on meritocracy: - I tend to think scotus believes racism is/was real but the best way to fix it is for congress to vote into law an actual remedy. Instead congress whines then

Japan similarly has been reluctant to re-militarize. The essential question is whether they can now see change is required. Our super power role isn't good for America either (I'm American). We spent too time in the middle east pr

I grew up like most on my parent's music which I still love. I added jazz, which my parents never listened to all. One of the last conversations I had with my father was about Willie Nelson. He loved him, and I thought he was terrible.

My comment above was up >0 ... if it's wrong I don't wanna be right. There's an urban legend (maybe true) that steve job's didn't let his daughter have a iPhone. He insisted on books.

I got off track and delved in too far in personal belief, and rehash of science and religion. I think this is the wrong place and time for that. I'll try to come back in middle with a few things I also heartily respect: - certain perso

Your paper is a valid add. And I'm gonna read/digest it. My point above while true, is more in the margins. Better to keep the focus on engineering know-how in the PDF. Thank you for submitting it.

When demand on resources exceeds available resources and/or current plans are not moving the ball, management must act. Moving homeless to lesser cost places is in scope. The poster above is right. While getting stable is a huge win, i

Well sure. Most mono theistic religions will struggle to incorporate alien life. Alas fundamentalist Christianity has a sufficiently ill-defined theology that it can incorporate most anything despite the fact the old testament creation stor
