The question is flawed. intuition, gut feeling, and observation all consist of metrics.
A middle manager uses metrics, the problem here is that today's management software isn't up to collecting the number and type of metrics necessary to let only an upper manager be as effective.
"he banned the TSA from all Amtrak property until a formal agreement is drawn up." sounds to me like a dead ringer for "he banned the TSA from all Amtrak property until some of the graft started making its way into his slush funds"
There used to be an easy-to-find graph showing the improvement over time of number one, number 500, and the total of 1-500. It gave me warm fuzzies to see the steady increase. I can't find that chart anymore. Help?
It sounds like it would be fairly trivial to get someone inside to take a look, tunnel under the building and up through the floor, and haul out all the laptops you can carry overnight. There may be a security guard to disable or it may be easier to fake a hostage situation up front while you take away merchandise through the tunnel.
Every adaptation to antibiotics makes the bacteria that much weaker and less efficient in general. Maybe if we can come up with enough of them our bodies will be so much better able to fight them off naturally that it won't be a worry anymore.
you're thinking backwards. If it's a matter of depth of hardening and the bunker builder assumes the hostile country already knows where it is, it's a simple matter to pour 20 feet of wrapped rebar and concrete on top. I'm confused about why they mentioned how to get by blast doors when baffles, pressure compensation, and additional blast doors can easily protect against it.
That can't always work. Take that Chengdu J-20 for example. It's probably a hell of a plane but China just doesn't have the massive precision engineering capacity or the experienced machinists and craftsmen it would need to pour them out by the thousands in case of a war.
The US, in contrast, could set up factories and mass produce the F-22 in enormous quantities if tit came to tat.
A beowolf cluster of these!
but seriously even one wouldn't be efficient enough to be worth it yet even in top-of-the-line OS's. We need a whole new paradigm of algorithms and maybe even a new language to do this right.
We'll know when things are picking up speed when all of the following conditions are met:
-People at the top are ignoring bad news.
-Crack-downs are met with larger numbers of supporters every time OR crack-downs are so severe that protest groups go underground.
-Active and obvious attempts are made by the US government to interfere with stories like this very one; slashdot, for example, would pull stories "so we can stay operational"
-The general populace starts completely ignoring and/or mocking the government-controlled media
-Governmental organizations start worrying about loyalty in employees in the context of inside politics. For example the FBI would start to quietly lay off liberals or conservatives.
These are the things that happen in every regime with a "free press" and a fairly wealthy population when the government jumps the shark. I don't believe any of them have happened yet in the US.
I agree with your first point but completely disagree with the follow-on. The US is, indeed, in the midst of a huge debt-fueled rut.
A look at the per-person productivity numbers fueling this "jobless recovery" will show you there have been massive increases in productivity of the last decade.
There's no reason to think that (a) these increases in productivity will cease as long as there is a demand for produced goods anywhere in the world. (b)there won't be sufficient demand anywhere in the world to drive the US economy over the next decade.
I feel that if we just buy a little more time increased productivity will pull us out of our debt rut. And I'm not for debt spending!
I'm afraid high economic growth and output is now possible and becoming even more possible without adding jobs. We're heading for Great Depression levels of unemployment either way.
You're missing the point. Take Katrina. There was the flood, but there was also danger from rotting corpses, food and clean water unavailable, bands of looters and human scum, electrical lines in the water, gas leaks, and so forth.
Just preparing for the flood wouldn't have been enough. But suppose someone had prepared for a zombie invasion:
food
water
assuming gov't agencies won't be there to help you
bands of hostile people
general chaos
The zombie theme lets you prepare for multiple unpredictable failure and is therefore a fine metaphor.

And not using Brawndo is harmful to sports drink manufacturers.
will have a fucking heart attack and throw 200,000 into a lobbyist's bag. Crippleware is their bread and butter.
I think that's kind of the point: to get them to secure the place.
The ownership of the robots is becoming more concentrated over time, and earlier solutions won't help. Robots don't unionize.

It would be better to control the robot via 802.11

if he won't I sure as hell will. Saving 999 lives is an accomplishment worth dying for. and if you won't you are scum.
Those are fantastic; Straight out of 1950's sci-fi. I note the maximum arc is 150 meters.

Classical economic theory died when structural problems caused by unrestrained capitalism killed competition. Put away the whip: the horse is dead.
