that sure seems like it's workable though. take the money, invest it, pay out later. like a bank, or an insurance company.

don't be a killjoy - thinking about these timescales doesn't gore your ox. In fact, putting effort into long-term thinking of any kind is probably going to help prioritizing on any scale.

As HN fans out across the info-sphere of aircraft ejections, I found this particularly striking story on the martin-baker site. They make ejection seats and have accounts from their thousands of clients.

basically the post (in long, melodramatic style) is making the point that libraries have evolved into vital social services, tech support, and community centers for the underclass. I've discussed this with librarians, and others - and

The Atlantic has really dropped in quality over the last few years - while also showing up more often in the social media echo-chambers. I ignore it now

there's not much to that article, it's all weasel-words, insinuation, and qualifiers. Amazon does have an obvious counterfeit problem, and I'd love to read a real account of just what is being done and why it's so inef

exactly, FERC is the horse's mouth that that alarmist was posting about. The down-votes are mystifying since I provided utterly relevant data and observation about the source of the controversy. Guess its as likely to be progressive

I hate them because they are requested automatically, rather than because the developer declared them. They clog my web server logs when I build microservices and in development they double up every page request. I still remember when the

you mean causal? though I'm intrigued about casual inference now that you mention it. would this be a branch of behavioral economics where actors investing only a little effort come to a different conclusion than those looking at it

I'd like to see the actual BVS UI. Does it indicate how old the data is or just the timestamp the report was generated? This is a detail that bites lots of reports in business.

That's precisely my point, though: it wasn't "a win" at all. It was just getting shit done that in hindsight, was a pretty remarkable event not to be repeated for decades. So much of the narrative of the space race is

That's a pretty pessimistic world-view you have there. How about science for the sake of science? or art for art's sake? Develop new capabilities and see what people can do with it - it's hubris to think that you can develo
