How often is it the case that some official in government has an interest in Accenture, or whatever company, and it is in their interest for that company to win contracts, and then simply stretch those contracts out as long as possible, while the interested official continues their influence in retaining the contract? Or perhaps I'm overly cynical.
If the article was titled "Why you don't catch many fish", do you think the article would need extra clarification that it shouldn't apply to people who don't like fishing?
Ha, I wish I found discarded Buchla Model 100's in cupboards!
I think the intention was just to establish a baseline number of cases in non drinkers.

Why would a Tesla?
When a state enforces a law like this, forcing all traffic through routers they control, presumably it makes it easier to detect traffic using VPNs/Tor? I'm guessing this would have to be done through some kind of heuristics based mechanism?
The term was coined as a metaphor to illuminate Parkinson’s Law of Triviality. Parkinson observed that a committee whose job is to approve plans for a nuclear power plant may spend the majority of its time on relatively unimportant but easy-to-grasp issues, such as what materials to use for the staff bikeshed.
Was that the final resolution then; that Boeing were ordered to replace the part, and the crashes stopped happening? Was there ever a formal investigation into whether Boeing knew the true cause of the rudder hardover, and chose to ignore it and blame other stuff?
I've seen this pop up a couple of times now as well - are there any other similarly thought provoking articles anyone recommends?
I read it as meaning the English Parliament were an influencer of their European counterparts.
