If it doesn't work, we can always go back to the pre-finance retirement model - raise lots of kids and live with them during a 'retirement' in which you continue to work as much as possible.

This was a bombing of military personnel by parties at war. That is, by definition, not terrorism. This action has been acceptable for as long as bombs have existed.

Ballistic missiles, being ballistic, have limited accuracy. It's also easier to detect them (flying higher and with larger radar signature) and tell where they're heading.

That just means that certain permits may be needed, and only in two countries out of the bird's natural range of two dozen.

> When they feed on grasshoppers and strawberries, Upland Sandpipers are “truly delicious.”

In our era where foodies exist and some number of them have effectively no spending limit, I wonder if any business raises sandpipers for use in a truly rare dining experience.

This reminds me of the story of the Taiwanese radioactive homes, where 2000 homes were built with radioactive materials. There was a prediction that a lot of the inhabitants would die of cancer, and that didn't really happen.

Given the way the world is going, I'll predict that the death of the IAT won't come from recognizing its scientific flaws, but rather from racism becoming more acceptable.

With all the talk of the impending fertility crisis, I very much believe that WFH helps significantly.

1) It makes parenting easier by letting the parent be more present. 2) It allows parents to buy houses with more bedrooms and more greenspace further from expensive cities. 3) It allows workers to stay in one location for a long time, helping form community.

And it's low-carbon to boot.

> Public hunting of barred owls wouldn’t be allowed. The wildlife service would designate government agencies, landowners, American Indian tribes or companies to carry out the killings. Shooters would have to provide documentation of training or experience in owl identification and firearm skills.

This seems pork-barrel-y. It's reminiscent of the recent Canadian government plan to spend 12 million dollars to kill 900 non-native deer in BC, ignoring that locals would do it for free.

If a judge finds that the lawsuit was frivolous then their exorbitant lawyer fees are now yours to pay.

Because there's no legal basis to sue them.

A lot of what you said is accurate, but then the ideal play would not be to shut down non-core projects, but rather to sell them or spin them off into their own companies.

...which partly-happened via licensing in the article, but they didn't realize the full value of the working operation.

That doesn't track. As long as the project is generating at least a single dollar (TVM-adjusted) and you're not constrained on resources (SWEs, labs, etc.) that could be reassigned to higher yielding projects, that's all the justification you need.

Yes, articles on Ben Johns suggest his income is 5% winnings and 95% endorsements.

Fun fact: If current birthrate trends hold, in 200 years approximately 100% of the American population will be Amish.

That's crazy. I'm tempted to register whichCLR.com which will contain a single link to download the latest .NET runtime.
