Someone gets it :-)

Great minds think alike...

The aim is globally, we're working on speeding it up and cleaning out trains and water... We'll probably finish the US within a few days and move on to the EU or other places.

Woo!

Happy to answer any questions...

Bezos should give BO to SpaceX (or maybe Rocket Lab) to run, much like Buffet gave the bulk of his money to the Gates Foundation.

It will a) put the best person on the job, b) close down an unnecessary spat and c) remove the opportunity cost and let Bezos focus on other things.

It would be a win for everyone on Earth apart from ULA.

I find it puzzling how random OSM things go to the top of HN on a seemingly monthly basis. I imagine some vast conspiracy network promoting these links and wonder who's in charge and what their motivation is?

:-)

I didn't know any GIS when I started OpenStreetMap and I think it was for the better. A fresh approach often yields a lot of progress.

I've noticed the $0 thing too, plus the enormous amounts of "stolen" IP in the games - assets, music, entire games...

Would be fun to chat - my email is in the profile, tried finding yours...

IMHO You need to make it legal to open and run a hospital (hospitals are basically local state-granted monopolies like cable companies). You make it legal to offer differential pricing. You decouple healthcare from employment. You allow employers to offer more than one insurer.

Most of what we need to do is just remove the monopoly rules.

A number of people, including me, have been building similar things, see http://price.hospital

The problem seems to be figuring out a revenue model, and translating all the medical terms in to human.

As a long-time OSM contributor (former software creator, creator of OSM Foundation board yadda yadda) I like this piece also.

Hi Richard :-)

Well, that's part of the hard work. Each hospital publishes it in a different way, usually behind a lot of walls, and in different formats.

It’s the newest-ish airframe until the carbon 777 flies.

If the engines are over-wing you know it’s nonsense.

The F-14 was retired a long time ago and the other two are aging out right now.

Right. It wasn't supposed to be multi-role, the original was a beautiful thing to behold before they started hanging all kinds of crap off of it.

Yes.

These are the design constraints. Really it should be 2 or 3 different, almost certainly cheaper, aircraft.

I'm struggling to find analogies here.

Everyone, you need to drive the Ford 35 Mustang. It's not the fastest car but it's pretty fast. If you strap a trailer on the back then sure it now loses all it's maneuverability but it's now a truck, right? So we don't need trucks any more.

Since it's invisible you don't need any combat capability, unless you load it out with 8 pylons and now it's not invisible any more, so now it does need to outfly the enemy. But it can't because it needs to carry all this load.

It needs to take off and land vertically which means it needs a small cross section but it needs to be able to have a high wing load to turn so it needs a large cross section.

It needs to do close air support but it can't get close. It needs to be slow but it also needs to be fast.

It needs to be a bomber and have long range, but needs to be a fighter and have high performance (or energy maneuverability).

It's what Boyd warned everyone about during the last generation, you need to avoid mutli role aircraft as they're not good at anything.

I'm sure it's all completely unbiased.

Yes and it's insanity. Entire books have been written about this.

"Doesn’t seem like a great way to tell the age of a skull."

The confidence of people far away at a different time without any relevant knowledge to dismiss an experienced local on the ground based on flawed high-level logic never ceases to surprise.

I think it's 5: Go, pop-up, 4-star, bookstore, whole foods.

> I calmly asked you to stop a behaviour.

Then let me calmly ask you to stop. Chill. Go walk in the woods.

You literally give unasked advice in your other thread.

I'm not sure we can run open discussion boards with the principle that you can't insult anyone for any reason even unintentionally.

I meet people all the time whose sole source of information is their doctor. And, I said 'FWIW' as the very first word.

I realize this is the internet but that's a stretch to find an insult.
