True, but absolute bank angle would also matter (say endpoint of roll when roll acceleration is zero) because now there's a component of gravity pulling you sideways.

Raytheon is another example. I think the open book metaphor gets lost in the aggressive roundness of the O. When I first looked at it, I thought why would they make it look like a …

Don't knock exponential growth!

Seems like a low-on-details article with PR-like flavor. According to this, Toyota cut production by 40%, though it does acknowledge that Toyota took less of a hit vs industry: “Ne…

Doing it “free” is impossible, hence the ad-tech shitshow.

That's fair – I wasn't being particularly rigorous when I implied "delusion". Resiliently optimistic is better. Reminds of me of the Stockdale Paradox: "You must maintain unwaverin…

This is somewhat paradoxical, but I think leadership requires some level of delusion. If one truly sees things as they are, it’s hard to create narratives and mythologies requires …

Relevant according to whom? You’ve explained _why_ Google returns those results, but that doesn’t make the answers relevant. Especially not when Google presents them so authoritati…

If we suspend the Uber/taxi comparison, and assume Uber is a new taxi-like service but better, therefore deserves a premium? I know I’d pay for that premium. Not everyone will, but…

Apple uses Torx screws, as do several other products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx

I’ve often wondered how we come up with daily dose recommendations for vitamins. To the HN hive mind/experts on this topic: What types of research design, data sets, etc. inform th…

Some pedantry is in order – withered and weathered are different words.

Neat!

Valid point, but I wouldn’t be so prescriptive. It’s also about understanding other variables — the culture of your workplace, the particular meeting/situation — and calibrating yo…

This, exactly. America has manufacturing talent, but not at the scale required for a manufacturing economy. (Source: ~2 decades in global manufacturing.)

And the Gita’s – “You have the right to work; not the fruits of your work.”

Amadeus is a movie that really resonated for the reasons you mention. However, another movie that really resonated, and offers a counterpoint to you’re-either-born-with-it-or-not f…
