According to Wikipedia, Penn has an endowment of over $22 billion.

Not enough in the piggy bank to cover?

Happy Pycharm user here.

This is cool, thanks for sharing!

This is all circular because the treasuries are being priced based on the expectation of the rate changes.

Common phrase in the military going back at least 15 years. Suppose “putting on blast” is more common in that context?

Not to go in circles here, so the ultimate point here is same as the article: there have and will continue to be a threat / counter threat environment and will continue to evolve.

What we are witnessing from Russia is not how armor should be employed. Armor is not suddenly obsoleted due to tech that’s been out for decades. That take is probably overly simplistic and wrong.

By the way, I’m a big proponent of FD2030.

Price tag is a small part of it.

Have you ever humped a combat load? It sucks. You’re rolling out with 40 lbs of stuff hanging off you before we even talk sustainment.

Javelin has gotta be 40-50 lbs. Add that on. Want an extra missile? Add another 30 or so.

Now suppose you don’t run into any armor, this is why every infantryman doesn’t/won’t carry one. Maybe 1 per squad, if we want to be super aggressive maybe 1 per fireteam. But that’s now a machine gun they’ve left out, what if they really needed more suppression?

It’s a trade off and humans aren’t capable of bringing all the nice to haves to every fight. This is why there won’t be hundreds in a company.

I was an armored vehicle officer in the USMC. ATGMs are a long standing threat.

There’s no scenario where hundreds of Javelins are sitting in one infantry company. It’s the type of thing that only makes sense on paper.

Would be much more worried about evolution of loitering fires with drones.

A tank can engage at similar distances.

$1,000 / 20 = $50

Works great while your infantry platoon has the missiles to pop one or two unsupported.

If they are in force then you get rolled.

I don’t get the direct connection between response from a non-NATO country being attacked and a NATO member.

If Putin tries to invade Latvia, the default assumption in this analysis is that NATO will just crumble rather than respond?

Is art meant to be min-maxed?

Perhaps a publisher might think so, but I would suggest the appeal is the unique POV and voice of the author and the choices they make.

For someone who hasn’t encountered this before and is expecting their first child in a couple months — how common is this in practice today?

Aren’t they bad examples? There’s a distinction between an extremely rare occurrence of biological factors like being 7 feet tall in order to succeed, and that of needing a decent education in order to think critically.

You can install Anaconda without admin.

I am also a happy customer for these exact same reasons. Screening and bundling are extremely helpful features when your mindset is wanting as little attention to email as you can, but still want to surface the important items.

1. Because it lines up well with the portion size

2. It’s not like you’re using the same scale to weigh yourself and the protein powder

Two recommendations for you, both published in last year or two.

In my experience, this is the go-to chart for understanding financial drivers at the senior leader/board level.

Even the popular plotting libraries in python don’t seem to have an easily configurable version. Recently tried plotly and found it plotting the categories in reverse order from the intuitive way you’d expect to see.

I’ve been meaning to script my own custom plot since Excel’s waterfalls are tedious to create and you don’t get enough control over the labeling.

Former Marine officer, disagree here that this is the change in the modern military. What you are describing is a major weakness of that type of air support.

Fighting certainly doesn't stop because you can't get comms with the bird. You just lose that as on option to deploy.

I think what gets abstracted away when people think about military operations is that it's not a chess board back at the Pentagon. They only are accomplished by physical deployment of force. You always plan for the back up contingencies because the mission still needs to get done if all the systems aren't online.

Long hard experience has taught us the way you make operations resilient is always know how to fall back on a physical signal like popping a smoke or sending up a flare.

--Perhaps that take is a bit too simplistic, so take it with a grain of salt from a ground combat element guy. I get it that there a large portions of the military who don't show up to play when their widgets stop working.

These databases are typically set up as businesses with pay per report or subscription access.

I've used them in corporate strategy work in the past. IBIS is one example [1].

Frankly, you get a general overview of a market but it is usually underwhelming on the sort of details that would help you decide on specific areas of focus.

Glad to hear your son is doing well. I can barely imagine how difficult those 2 weeks must have been.

From a layman’s perspective, what I often hear ECMO being used for is to allow the heart/lungs recover for a while from the sheer trauma of a heart attack or surgery while not bearing any critical load.

My wife is a perfusionist (specialist who runs these pumps and similar ones while the heart is being operated on).

ECMO’s really an incredible feat of medicine that can bring people back from the edge where they would otherwise die.

I prefer HBO’s content and streaming app so much more than Netflix/Hulu, I always start there if I am wondering what to watch.

This comment is going on n-gate for sure.

Not sure what years you went through but I remember we had one (about a decade ago).

When I lived in the city I did this same walk, and I've never been happier going into work in the morning.
