How do we know that employer attitudes and expectations have remained the same?

Yes and the stat refers to bomber crews, not to all the people in that force.

Why should China be an exception?

If you look at the graphs there is nothing like an 'inflection point' or qualitative change in the graph behaviour. The Allied line goes slowly down and the Axis line goes slowly u…

But you're now talking about a much smaller group within the US Air Force. Obviously if you zoom in on any small unit of any force, you can find units with extremely high casualty …

Also the decomposition of 88 is 55 + 21 + 8 + 3 + 1. A lot of terms just to find that phi * (Fn - 1) is (F{n+1} - 1) which isn't even very accurate.

I disagree that this argument makes it less likely to have very low prices much of the time. I think it makes it more likely. If peak to trough is a large gap, say 60% of peak, thi…

One problem with this is that it decomposes 2 * 55 to 89 + 21, etc which makes the conversion slightly harder than just converting 55 and doubling.

Isn't it possible that such a system will over-produce 99% of the year and that therefore, the marginal cost will almost always be $0? 'Take my energy and allow me to stop accelera…

Of all the people who have to pay their bills under capitalism, why are you specifically concerned about the ones who wrote ElasticSearch and Redis?

Yes, but remembering the multiples of 10 is vastly easier: they are 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. Remembering the multiples of 16 is quite a lot easier: 16, 32, 48, 64 etc. You probably alr…

The company that 'owns' Redis or Elastic also do not need to develop the software they are selling. They already have it, since its creation for free on a non-commercial basis. Wit…

> Hyperbole aside, they certainly haven't given as much as they've gotten, though. Agreed, but the point of sharing software is that it's not a zero sum game. The thing you create …

This is literally what open source is. If you don't support this, you don't support open source. There isn't a 'purer' form of open source which does exactly what you want with res…

Whatever you think of those companies in a wider sense, it's totally inaccurate to suggest that Microsoft, Google or Amazon haven't given anything back to open source.

Yes, except that since Amazon have infinite resources, the friction didn't stop them doing anything, and the fork was always going to be perfectly viable.

But it restricts your ability to use a commodity product based on Elastic, provided by a third party who will compete on price or bundle it with other cloud services.

They need landlords to stick to the numbers they pass on, in order that those numbers remain valuable to all of their other landlord clients. Suppose that you're a big landlord in …

No, N means 10 in both parts of the sentence you quoted. > when the average span between arrivals is [10] minutes, the average span experienced by riders is [20] minutes. >The aver…

Large corporations use Article Galaxy to manage their access to digital copies of journal articles. Such organizations don't have a history of large libraries which subscribe to ev…

Long before the govt steps in, people will have stopped working hundreds of hours a month for an organization that hasn't paid them.

The average time between two buses (based on the Poisson model used in TFA) is N minutes. But you are more likely to arrive in a long interval than a short one. So if you turn up t…

Citation needed that it's a free market. It looks a lot like a market where entrenched players have excessive power.
