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.

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 up. At one point they cross, but there's nothi

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 rates.

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, this tends to make it less likely that peak will be met by over

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 accelerating my flywheels which regulate production'

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?

by outop 2y ago
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 already know them. Now to convert from miles to km replace a mu

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. Without competition, they are free to charge any rent

> 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 once is not diminished by me using it many

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 respect to big companies using the cod

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 some area, such that your submitted prices can affect r

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 to the station at a random time, the average time between the

Home prices could fall with mortgage rates. Why? Because monthly payments are the operative constraint for new home buyers. Why? Because the vast majority of first home buyers will pay considerably less than they do as renters, even if you

This is the right answer. Many newspapers gave away most of the value in their advertising power to Google and Facebook, for free, because they just didn't understand how internet advertising was going to work. Now they've decided

The picture already answers this question. If the earth was a bowling ball the blue sphere would be much bigger than a single drop, maybe slightly bigger than a popping boba, the size of a small grape?

You seem really upset about what to me looks like a quite neutrally presented fact. There are lots of interesting aspects to this picture which don't have anything to do with criticizing you or the length of your morning shower.
