The details of course matter; but the overarching principle put on stark display here is that if you don’t meet stabilized approach criteria (on-speed, on-glidepath, minimal necessary flight control deflections) at the 1000 ft AGL gate, go

As a Canadian living in Canada, I see “Lake Ontario.” in Apple Maps. All good. No idea what Google shows because I don’t knowingly use Google products. But I do see the ridiculous “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)” I don’t care what Apple s

It’s reasonably clear to anyone paying attention that Trump has been systematically engaging in various flavours of corruption. Prosecuting the man for illegal activities isn’t predicated on his party losing an election; it would be a matte

As practically anyone who has worked in even the smallest organization knows, much of the success depends on doing boring things well, efficiently and predictably. The U.S. Federal government has lost the interest and depth of competence to

If it’s Louisiana, it’s not a “swamp”; it’s a bayou. I spent summers at my grandparents in southern Louisiana, a lot of it poking around in places described in TFA; but never heard it called a swamp back there. We were on the bayou.

The author’s critique of the thesis that PKM tools lack evidence of impact in global knowledge is certainly interesting. But there is a fundamental problem that I state plainly as: what responsibility do I or any user have to this nebulous

I don’t understand what Infantino gets out of this relationship. He gives Trump a made-up “FIFA Peace Prize,” poses at every turn for photos with him and now meddles in game calls. I see what Trump is getting out of the deal. What about Inf
