Why HN links it
HN readers link Aon's pages mainly for Aon Cyber Labs research, such as the D-Modem tool that carries softmodem audio over SIP and an analysis of the Equifax breach exploit, plus insurance, workplace and retirement reports.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 8 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
Aon is in the business of better decisions.

What Hacker News says?
Aon International Space Brokers ( http://www.aon.com/singapore/risk-services/products-services... ) covers liability for the payloads to be delivered, however, SpaceX shoulders the financial burden of losing the rocket itself, as only the contents are insured.

HN discussionHas anyone played with "D-Modem" [1] "D-Modem replaces a softmodem’s physical hardware with a SIP stack. Instead of passing audio to and from the software DSP over an analog phone line, audio travels via the RTP (or SRTP) media streams of a SIP VoIP call." [2] Seems pretty cool.

HN discussionHiring people who care and keeping them in that mindset is hard, especially at scale. 32.9% of U.S. employees "engaged" in workplace in February (2015) http://news.gallup.com/poll/181895/employee-engagement-reach... and from a 2014 report http://www.aon.com/attachments/human-capital-consulting/2014... There are signs that the employee value proposition is breaking down. Perceptions of internal brand alignment have d…

HN discussionI agree that poor lifestyle choices should be somehow disincentivized. Leaving aside the fact that BMI isn't a great metric (as mentioned in another comment); we can probably come up with a better one. 80% of healthcare costs are driven by 15 conditions , which in turn are mostly affected by 8 behaviors [1]. I bet that the bulk of the cost is due to completely changeable lifestyle behaviors (diet, drinking, smoking,…

It is only going up due to the data center build out. [1][2] The cryptocurrency industry already found ways to migrate off of PoW to Proof-of-Stake so there exists an efficient alternative to reduce emissions. AI still does not and the h…

So if you want to live for a year without working, you'll need to save a year's worth of income. The analysis doesn't say…
