The problem is one of governance. Many private jet users apply to keep their flight records private; this is especially true of large corporations. Aircraft expenses are not usually disclosed in SEC filings, aside from that usage which is considered "personal" and therefore a part of a named...

5 year veteran of the Pan Massachusetts Challenge; personally raising just a smidge over $20k to date. An amazing two days every year. I love it. Can't wait to get back (after grad school, that is.) Cheers.

Switched to Speedplay pedals on my new rig, which I've owned for a little over a month. Great on the knees, still getting used to them in a high speed corner (20+mph) I will probably switch between Zero's and the X's I have now as I get more comfortable with the pedal. I vastly prefer this...

My descriptions of the branches of econ thought. Off the top of my head, and I know I'm missing about 3/4's of the subfields. Microeconomics: You're f***** Macroeconomics: We're f***** Behavioral Economics: You can f*** other people Developmental Economics: F*** yourself while f******...

I'll note that my MBP Mid-10 running Snow Leopard doesn't like being left up for more than a week. One week sees about 50-60 hibernate/sleep cycles, which plays a big part in this. Over time, Chrome does not like it; occasionally it needs a kill -TERM or a super helpful kill -9 to behave...

If you want to search for something that you don't want tracked, you have a few options: 1) Open an "incognito mode" window. Ctrl-shift-n, or Wrench > New Incognito Window, or Link > Right Click > Open in Incognito Window 2) Wrench > Preferences > Under the Hood. A slew of privacy options...

Somewhere in my pile of human factors and aviation safety books (which Teller has about half of) is a really neat article on human factors design and control theory as implemented by Boeing and Airbus. It was mostly from a corporate culture perspective, and a design theory perspective, and it...

No issues at all, and I run Chrome on all three channels (dev, beta, prod) on four platforms (windows, linux, mac, and Chrome OS). Cheers.

Re: Virgin passengers: Off the right wing SpaceShipTwo is flying in formation with u Employees of the airline, I would think.

The Phil Schiller phone call transcript in the FTC submission was very enlightening.

Re: Virgin passengers: Off the right wing SpaceShipTwo is flying in formation with u It was; it was a media day.

I would doubt it. The new sheriff's at the FTC and DOJ have shown a marked interest in pursuing anti-trust claims in the Valley. FTC already sniffed around Apple after the Google Voice rejection.

Re: Virgin passengers: Off the right wing SpaceShipTwo is flying in formation with u ... this reaffirms my decision to send all of my transcon business to Virgin .

WHOI and BEA announced that more wreckage has been located. Press conference is supposedly ongoing in Paris. http://www.bea.aero/en/enquetes/flight.af.447/sea.search.ops.phase.4.php Cheers, -Andrew

I've used net-new for years. "New" means, generally speaking, something that hasn't happened before within the given context. Net-new means, in my world, that when all is said and done, you have something appreciable and new left over. Meaning: buy a service for $100. New deal comes down...

Asian languages are difficult primarily due to character set complexity (as evidenced by other posters in the thread). However, it is (for me, at least) relatively easy to pick up the basics in romaji, or the romanization of a word/phrase. For example, Toire wa, doko desu ka? (Where is...

I've been a Chrome user for over 18 months. No other browser use. Chrome will re-fill forms on "Back", but it depends on the headers sent. IIRC a no-cache HTTP header will force a reset of the form; I think Safari overrides this. I prefer the Chrome experience to Safari, and I find it...

Is that really the Tenerife guy? Just, wow.

Houston, for all of the interesting industries in the area, is the pits. The heat and humidity in summer is mind-numbing. Phoenix... no opinion, except that I don't think AZ as a state is in very good straits. Denver? Nice people, nice area, interesting things to see. Give me a heads...
