This is true, it is hard to prove if what the TSA does is actually preventing terrorist attacks. Just because it is not proven does not mean it is not working.

Is it everyone's belief who reads hacker news that the number of successful terrorism attacks would not go up if we eliminated all airport security? It seems obvious to me that the following would occur more: 1) Mentally impaired people wou

Not really, I think it would be strange regardless.

The problem with your logic is that the statistics you give are based on there being security. Without it, you have no idea how high the number of successful attacks on planes would be. The chance of dying in a auto accident is still reall

A single successful attack causes Billions of dollars in losses. Look at load factors after September 11th. Planes were empty for months.

There are roughly 20 Million Flights world wide per year. During the period of those 5 incidents, there were over 220,000 flights. (4 days) Yes, it would suck to be on one of those flights, but your chances are extremely low. 00.0023% of

Can you give an example of a band that recorded a CD for $3K? I'm curious what that sounds like.

I do not disagree with Courtney Love that the system is not great for artists but the solution is probably not in the distribution method, or the structure of the financing. It is most likely in solving the cost problem. If it costs $500,0

This will most likely be fixed with high inflation, but it is a concern.

Capital flows between groups is an interesting way to look at it, but it doesn't consider efficiency of what money is used for, invested in, spent on. You could have identical capital inflows and outflows (i.e. money coming in to the US fro

Pre-ordered. Reading a book like this on Kindle is more fun than reading blogs. I hope it is as well written as your post. <$14 is nothing if I get a single good piece of information.

They are not paying the University, they are offering a discount of $250,000 via incentives. Any competitor could have lowered their price using incentives, they choose not to. The University still has to pay annually for the service which

Without TSA we would have lowered the bar on airplane hijackings and opened the door to lower level threats that could easily bring down a pressurized cabin at 35K feet: Idiots with firearms or other dangerous items on planes. Simple crimin

This is an analysis of the negotiation and everything needs to be said to understand the situation. In almost every airline negotiation with pilots, airline management has a far greater position in the negotiation, except in the case of Vir

That is good info, but it still doesn't make sense that he didn't feel the need to license the photo. Why did he think one type of art has more rights than another type of art?

Settlements may not technically be in court, but they are the result of the court existing. (my comment about the $32,500 should have been attached to the comment above) Not sure how I clicked the wrong link.

The court figured that out. $32,500.

It just doesn't make sense why he thought it was important to license the music to transform to 8-bits, but not license the art to transform to 8 bits. The examples he gave of what he thought was equivalent were not close to equivalent of w

1) Price is never, ever, ever, ever a feature. Price is determined by the features (it is the other side of the equation). 2) I haven't done market research, but are you telling me no other POS has wireless? 3) Who will provide iPods? How

By programming in iOS you are requiring companies to purchase expensive mac products to run your POS rather than inexpensive PC products. You need to go to as many restaurants in person as possible and be able to explain why your product is

I'll give you 6% for my "startup" for 950 hours of work. <B>Jokes aside, the MBA way of thinking is as follows:</B> 1) What has he already provided for the other 95% (customers, revenue etc)? 2) What is the chance that this
