It is amazing how different evolution trees converge on optimal configurations. It reminds me of crabs.

Pie charts shine when there several data points that can be grouped into 2-3 macro groups. The easiest example is "What is your opinion of ___?" (Strongly Favorable, Somewhat Favor…

A bank should keep the money secure. Anything >0% loss is unacceptable. They were greedy and had a duration mismatch. Interest rates rise and the value of the longterm bonds go dow…

No publisher would want to sign a contract with an author that isn't likely to live much longer. It needs to be either a fixed amount, or Life + something.

It is not a zero sum game.

The backup camera would not be such a big deal if cars had smaller pillars.

I would take Wednesdays off. No more than 1 day away from a day off. Need to schedule an appointment for anything: Wednesday.

As a native English speaker, I adore your version.

For me it had a calming effect. Natural disasters appear to be relatively common

Maybe the targeting works the other way around. Those refrigerators have cameras. Maybe a little bit of machine learning to figure out what you buy and play targeted ads based on w…

The big push for diversity is an anti union movement.

Does it matter who he blames? There is enough blame to be spread around for both major parties. Trump had his -15- 45 days to slow the economy. Congress printed trillions of dollar…

The cost of the part doesn't matter. The cost of my time does. For common components, I need a parametric part so that I can instantly change the length, size or type. If my M12 be…
