Why even when the evidence suggests that it should be disconnected, do projects go on and on? Merck, for example, continued to market Vioxx in the face of evidence that the drug had harmful, sometimes fatal side effects. The Denver baggage handling project continued for a decade after evidence accumulated that the “balance of the line” problem was unlikely to […]

First, it seems easier to predict the future than to estimate the past. For example, predicting the future appears to be much easier than the job […]

Vehicles moving at highway speed only take a few seconds to cross the median and collide with vehicles on the other side of the lane. Medium barriers are effective in physically separating opposing traffic streams from a highway. It also helps prevent vehicles from accidentally moving into […]
