That doesn't work. Now and always an independent investigator of truth will be a lone voice in a wilderness targeted by all warring dogmatic factions. Witness NYT seeking to draw H…

Unfortunately, sophisticated threat actors are still very hard to defend against in aviation like in software.

Maybe the NYT is jealous that Scott is so obviously a better and more thoughtful writer?

This. Slippery slope to denying credit based on a consumer's decision to avoid using Facebook or to search using DuckDuckGo.

Eh, not sure how the word "Russian" ended up in that comment. It was an American design before it was a Russian one.[1] Plus, there was an added feature in some American plans I've…

If chartered banks charge for ... holding cash ... don't people next create a new industry of unchartered financial institutions to hold money without charging so much? Like, safe …

WSB is a game ppl lose simply by playing, IMO. When I read these stories I think of Jesse Livermore-- arguably the greatest trader of all times -- who went bankrupt 3 times on the …

I wouldn't count on military commanders employing "human nuance" within 30 seconds of receiving a direct presidential order. On the contrary, it's pretty amazing that with 2, 3, 4 …

Riversflow, the reference to the replenishment of the "tree of liberty" is unhelpful. It's cliche and generates far more heat than light. The real reason it can be dangerous to ban…

Civilized (and sometimes boorish) people today go to the Internet to communicate. That's what we're doing right now. Maybe if you (or I) were banned from HN, no big deal, find some…
