Taking these positions is a foolish risk. Such obvious disingenuous behaviour may be rewarded in the US but judicial systems in other countries may take a dim view of this sort of obvious obfuscation. The judge could appoint a forensic acco

Many of the techie people on HN undoubtedly dreamed of building and flying rockets at some point in their tweens / teens till the harsh realities of the material world took over. So they are vicariously living childhood dreams... Just

Interesting comment... I keep getting surprised by implicit first world assumptions on HN. I'm not the OP but you could consider hypothetically as an example, would great teachers largely choose to settle in PNW?

A really nice 6 part series that seems to be a more modern take going into more depth than the older "Indistinguishable from Magic" lecture.

Boeing already tried doing this. Several big Customers rejected deliveries from the non union plant because they were unacceptably poorer in quality.

Actually most of us here with a small team and sufficient funding could probably build a plane suitable for human flight given the public domain knowledge that exists. . A non insignificant percent probably have built model planes already.

Arguably yes. In this day and age of prosperity and technological development of our species, isn't it unethical and morally depraved to let children to die of malnutrition when a simple change could help? Iodine enrichment of salt ach

Pricing moves at margins, not necessarily driven by totals. Ie. Pricing is primarily driven by the immediate demand and supply situation at a given time. Small changes in availability can have a dramatic effect. Good ways to understand this

Depends on the market. For instance in my country, all rentals need to be register and the cost is public.

All major conflicts and wars are fundamentally economic and have been so throughout history

By that metric, various economic schools have been hilariously inept and would get classified not dissimilar to various schools of religious theology with their own dogmas. It's only in the last 15 years or so that some focus on empiri

It's worth visiting (ie A business trip Vs tourist) if you haven't yet and form your own independent impressions vs rely on media and press reporting. Remember that every single media & press publisher anywhere in the world i

It appears many western sociologists and have gotten confused over the last half a century or so and have started building theories like castles in the air from dogma instead of rooting them in empiricism, not much different from religious

If any business doesn't do or expect to do any business in Europe, there's no good reason to serve Europe and assume the risks and costs associated with GDPR on top of complying with regulations for your market. I'd love to s

My guess of what may have happened reading between the lines is - Boeing originally possibly instructed Spirit to loosely fit the plug and not secure it because they planned to remove it to fit out the interiors. In this case Boeing would b

It's the result of American business culture prioritising and incentivizing "shareholder value creation" (aka making wealthy fund managers more wealthy) above all else and regulatory capture of the government by the wealthy.

I imagine it's much easier to control on the trade side of things if governments really want to. Fish have to be brought relatively fresh to markets where there is demand.

Exactly this. It's generally a service with positive externalities. Also this specific use case (lunchtime bus loops) exists in many parts of the world and they are clearly value creating overall otherwise shopping centres and district

The answer to this is actually very simple and used all over the world by shopping centres and shopping district associations. You just run a free loop bus for a few hours during lunch time to bring people to and from the shopping district.

Organizations always react to incentives and all of the above and more are probably at play. The funding incentives are probably such that failure means leadership is hauled before political theatre and accused of wasting people's taxe
