Climate change isn't so much a scientific choice for those idiots, it's a political one. Like not taking Covid vaccines.

I stopped reading when the whinging never seemed to end.

Zim: Sorry I'm late, my Tallest. I couldn't find my invitation. You're lucky I made it at all.

Red: You weren't invited at all.

Purple: Weren't you banished to Foodcourtia? Shouldn't you be... frying something?

Zim: Oh, I quit when I found out about this.

Purple: You quit being banished?

Plus theoretical materials and a theoretical infrastructure. NB, it hasn't even gone supersonic yet so the hypersonic part is still theoretical too.

The founder is pretty much in the background. He's an academic and I think he knows when to not be in charge of a business. Our COO is highly technical and very very good. I'm not terribly surprised they got rid of the CEO. It's not that he was bad it just didn't seem like he was pushing us in ways we need to go.

That's not 'economics' per se. That would not be something you pick up in an economics graduate program but probably something you pick up from your colleagues who think just like you because of 'prevalent business school think'

I work for a startup and our BoD just let our CEO go because they felt he wasn't the right person for the job any more. Nobody else got touched.

>Significant policy changes would be needed for US-based manufacturers tobe even remotely competitive. As things stand, they face three seriousimpediments — all inflicted by the government.

​

Translation: cut taxes, cut regulations, give us more money, shield us financially from failure.

Same as it ever was. If we were 'exceptional', we'd find a way to succeed regardless of impediments. According to the editors, however, we're doomed before we start not because of ourselves and our own ambition and drive but because of 'them'.

90 min? When I was doing it I ran in to people on the Amtrak who were riding in from Sacramento to either the Berkeley station to catch a bus or BART in to the city or taking it all the way to Santa Clara. That's almost 3 hours one way assuming the train isn't late or gets stopped due to someone on the tracks (dead or alive). And, yeah...Amtrak...that never happens.

If you go to their data link, there are multiple images. Rather than choosing the map showing overall rates for all groups, they chose the 'non-hispanic black adults' map for some reason. Hence, the white bits are labelled 'insufficient data'. Given the number of blacks at least in MT, this is not surprising. Still, kind of stupid to present obesity data for only part of the entire US population and then show heart disease rates for all demographics

When my mom passes, I'm claiming her fridge because that damn thing has been going since the 80's

Would have been easier and more informative to just make a colored contour map

A group of people thought they could go to court with the argument that a merger would 'spoil gaming' and they thought they'd win? Were they representing themeselves or something?

Everyone just stop buying Amazon. If you can't make good business decisions that don't include 'significant overhiring', why exactly do you need to be rewarded in the marketplace?

Yeah...it's more that they need to 'do something' about demands for better pay.

If my hands are cold the rest of me probably is as well so not sure why this is a thing that's needed unless it's for someone with some kind of circulation problem? This looks like a solution in search of a problem

Just because one former Meta employee asserts something to be true all of a sudden everyone thinks it must be true. It makes absolutely zero business sense.

Notice the lack of recognizable banks doing normal business.

Speaking of 'false equivalencies'

I would guess number of offers of enrollment accepted vs number sent.

Showing power law data on a linear axis can result in most of your data literally being invisible except for a couple of data points.

Pro tip, show power laws using a logarithmic axis

Yes, if you look at the shallow water equations for river flow, the right hand side will basically be predominated by a) slope driving flow and b) friction resisting flow. The friction resisting flow will be determined by the water velocity, the characteristics of the bed material, and the water depth. As water depth increases (e.g. during a flood) the frictional forces decrease as h^(4/3) where h is water depth.

Translation: "both sides are the same". Disagree, but you do you.

If a bullet could maintain straight line flight, with the bullet axis coincident with the flight axis, then the effect should theoretically be zero.

However, a variety of factors can cause the two axes to NOT be coincident. In this case, imagine you're driving down the road with the window down and you put your hand out. If you angle your hand relative to the flow of air past it, you can easily feel the increased drag on your hand.

The whole point of spinning the bullet (gyroscopic stabilization) is to keep the two axes coincident through the expected/desired flight path of the bullet.
