Imagine if everyone knew a bit of serious first aid. That would be good for society. But if a given person chose not to learn, it probably wouldn't hurt them or those around them at all. I look at general education from this angle: it

If a share barely gives you voting rights, and the company does not, and does in the foreseeable future plan to, issue dividends, then what is the inherent value of the stock? Is it just my portion of the proceeds in case of a firesale?

Everything you say rings true to me. So, I sincerely wonder, why hasn't a drive for higher profits fixed this problem?

A web app I inherited, for which I do not have the original spec, and initially developed by an outsourced offshore team, had one route that was literally "/obscure/reset_password?user_id=x". A light dawned when I realiz

That would hold if we assume all things which fly (aside from animals, obviously) are under the jurisdiction of the FAA by default . And then then only certain itemized exceptions (like model aircraft as they define them) are not. However,

I'm delving deep here, but it seems that section primarily states what the FAA will not regulate or "not promulgate any rule or regulation regarding". To my reading, it does not state that operation outside those guidelines

I'm with you, but at some point the battle is lost, and you're throwing good effort after bad.

One question, in case anyone here knows: if the "1948 'Key West Agreement' (PDF) that put jet fixed-wing aircraft purely in the domain of the Air Force" is a thing, then how come the Navy runs the Blue Angels? https:&#x

Absolutely yes. I with I'd doubled, or at least minored, in English literature. I was Physics/Math.

It seems a bread factory might be such an asset. But too big for most people to own individually.

Then what if you invested in a bread factory? You'll be part owner of a business that can sell it's wears for $10 billion.

Could they have been mixing up megawatts and megawatt-hours? Regardless, personally, I despise the ubiquitous usage of *watt-<time> over joules.

In Boston high schools, immigrant students make up close to or exactly 100% of the valedictorians each year.

When I taught in a "disadvantaged high school" in Boston, the metric by which the school was judged was not the average student score on the state's standardized test (the MCAS), but the percentage of students achieving mini

Anyone know why the mirrors in the displays oscillated instead of spinning? Was it just a matter of it somehow being easier to keep the phase and frequency correct with oscillation? Because it seems like it would be much simpler mechanicall

I wondered this too. If a small country implements basic income, they really will have to put strict limits on immigration. If the whole world was doing it, it wouldn't matter as much.

In my experience, moving people to computer means having to reconcile management's understanding of how people do their jobs, with how they actually do their jobs. This is especially tricky when designated outcomes are only reachable

I don't know what the opposite is of a "wet blanket" (perhaps "ray of sunshine"?), but is it possible to express almost the same hesitation from the opposite direction? For instance, say, "Yes, we can do that

What about lines across a square? They must also all hit two points on its perimeter, but randomly choosing p1, p2 in that case will show a clear bias towards the diagonals. Of course a circle has no corners to complicate things like that,

You may be right, but how do you define all cords?

Not a resource, so much as a technique, but I've just been baffled to find myself moving slightly into management, and my new mantra, whenever I'm not absolutely positive what I should be saying is: listen.

Thank you for the information, most of which is new to me. However, one minor point of correction, is that I believe the birds are thawed, not frozen, when fired into jet engines to test them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

Just for my understanding, if all your investments are in a "Vanguard target-date fund" then why would you have to spend any time per year rebalancing? Isn't that what the target date funds do for you?

There's a balance to be struck. The pendulum may have swung too far towards the minimalist, but it used to be much more common to have lines and boxes around everything, where simply removing them and leaving open space made the layout
