The title of this post should insert the word “most” after the word “of.”

Since its inception, the Gates Foundation has made total grant payments in excess of $50 billion. I’d say that deserves attention.

Faster horses.

I’d take a few days off if you have any, and take a long weekend to ponder a few facts (some other comments have raised these): 1. Maybe I’m a bit burned out and need a break. 2. O…

It’s going to take a while to unpack your comment. Until then, while you mention Ro, you might not know that some recent reports show it approaching 6 in some areas, not 2.x as tho…

There have been reports that aerosol spread can occur in limited cases: https://youtu.be/xWj9OUAfTLQ

I don’t think they’ve fully faced the emerging danger of COVID-19 for an event like this. It’s not just the 400,000 attendees, it’s the 2.2 million people in greater Austin. COVID-…

I’ve seen reports of 80% mild, 15% hospital (mainly oxygen and managing secondary infections) and 5% critical care (ICU, some intubations). But, yes, even 5% could overrun hospital…

Not sure if you actually read this article. It’s excellent, especially its narrative stitched together with first-person, you-are-there, accounts. Rather timely also since Amazon a…

The last two sentences that comment are meaningful to me.

No, not mismanagement. Here’s my opinion: There’s about 40 seconds before the aircraft becomes unrecoverable in these 2 crash scenarios. It’s not pilot error. It’s design, software…
