The Seneca Effect: Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid



The Seneca Effect: Why Growth is Slow but Collapse is Rapid by Ugo bardi



Usually you want to slow the decline but nature like us must abhor things that taste bad and want to get it over with like a dentist appointment. Implosion, if the buildings around can take it. 

Many times when companies go bad, repackaging useful pieces and selling them buys time for other parts. eg Nokia to Microsoft.

Reverse index

Looking at this overloaded  page on typesense , I wanted to understand some of the terms. A  good example  of reverse index is when you have to search for 234, 235, 236. Here it makes sense to find the differeing last number sooner than the initial long, same numbers.  The time to  dynamically reconstruct inverted index  is important.
