The common element in the above is scaling and reliability. While lots of startups and companies are focused on the 1% chance that they are the next Google or Shopify, the reality is that nearly all aren't, and the overengineering and

The challenge with that hockey-stick graph is that it greatly increases the chance of multiple winners. That kills any chance of a +EV. The best lottery drawing is the one just before the one that makes news; by definition, it had no winn

The prices are in different units. S3 is $/GB-Mo, raw storage is in $/GB. So, when they are equal on the graph, you are paying each month to AWS what the cost of the raw disk is. Now, yes, you need a lot more than just raw disk

It's an open question how many actual complete games of this have been played. It certainly didn't get the level of playtesting by the designers that most other games did; they just didn't have time. Advanced Squad Leader ha

Stability is good, but only to a point. A bus can divert around double-parked car, or a closed road, but a trolley is stuck until the blockage is cleared.

I've been happy with Request Tracker for over two decades, but the scope of RT is also a lot smaller than ZenDesk. Just email-first ticketing, little more.

So then what do you do with software that doesn't meet this standard? Software that works, that meets a need you have, but that is a fixed artifact, or at least will be in the foreseeable future. Do you refuse to use said software, a

To be clear, rsync.net zfs should work with any/all shell or script-based ZFS replication tools. The basic documentation for zrepl here is good, but you can also use sanoid/syncoid, zsnapzend, etc.

The data point you want to use is the modal age of adult death, but everyone is fixed on the mean age of death, which you correctly note is completely skewed by childhood mortality.

Rail was laid at about a mile a day, and a worker on said project died every two-four days (up to 1,000 deaths across 7 years). We could probably build rail faster if we threw safety out the window too. Yes, that's not the only differ

Laying track is clearly the last part of the project; they're working on all the important stuff that goes under the track. The fact that they haven't laid track specifically is a false concern.

No no. The idea is that before, you had plates and bowls sitting on top of a tray. All had to be washed and disinfected. Now you don't have the tray, the students carry their plates in their hand directly. No tray to wash.

This also ties into that commonly statistic that 60+% of bankruptcies are caused by medical bills. The study is more complicated than that, and it's not the best summary: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2009

Chicago is the exception here, though. It's the core hub of the entire system, and there are no trains that pass through Chicago. A Chicago train will nearly always leave on-time, unless there are equipment issues.

Yeah, if you're flexible on time, far enough out, and willing to ride coach, it's definitely doable. Summer is also peak season (more sunlight); avoiding June-August helps too. Amtrak's system is terrible when something you

That's still a significant difference from running traditional trains on unprotected track. Skytrain has no grade crossings.

Sounds about right. Can you imagine if they actually gave him a scheduled time to arrive at work, and paid him regardless of if the train was ready? That's what they should do.

This is much less doable now than it was some years ago. Amtrak's revenue management has gotten a lot better, and most long distance routes start at the highest bucket pricing, and only drop down into lower buckets if demand sags. De
