Speaking as a team lead, the most important thing is to know what your expected role is - are you a manager? Are you in charge? What does your boss expect of you, and what does he expect of your peers? You succeed when your team succeeds.

Wow... that's.... nope. ERP software and in particular SAP is awful, has some major limitations, and is a pain to use, but the alternatives are much worse. Only a company like IBM might manage to develop an in-house ERP based on open

Or anywhere else. Lots of people don't enjoy using C for various reasons, but generally programmers don't get to choose what language they work in, they get paid to work in whatever language is needed. Whether programmers like it

Remember that A) The laser is close to your eye and shining directly in and B) It's coherent, so it's focused on a single small spot. It doesn't have to be so much brighter than all the light around you given those things.

I see what you did here. I just don't understand why.

Given that it doesn't harm the retina when scanning, I'd say "full white" is the best it could do, which could be surprising and a bit uncomfortable, but not actually damage the eye. Picture your monitor going all white.

Just look away. It's just a display device, so at most it's going to display confusing pictures. It's not possible to "hack" more output power into lasers with software changes. Would that it was. You can change

Given that the lasers are light shining in a straight line, and that they're presumably calibrated to intensities the eye can deal with (otherwise we couldn't see them/they'd be less sharp) there won't be any more l

Given that modifying an RNA virus to obtain specific results from an infection is very hard to begin with, also working with the limitation that your changes to the virus have to look "natural" makes it essentially impossible by b

It would be good if you acknowledged that this is mostly based on data reported by the Chinese government, and that the data in question is likely fabricated or incomplete. When sources outside China start reporting infection rates and mort

Because of how outbreaks and pandemics normally progress. Essentially they run like a video game with horrible lag - you don't really see the results of what you do to contain them until one or more incubation periods for the disease

It's not really a couple of weeks at this point... it's just after the 6th or so. That's the end of incubation period for people who would have been infected before the Chinese govt. quarantined Wuhan. New infected after tha

There's not much point, because the data WHO has on the outbreak is being collated from Chinese sources who probably aren't telling the truth. WHO doesn't have a lot of people on the ground in Wuhan and the rest of China fee

This use doesn't have anything to do with sugar chemically, except for the shape of the custom molecules. It sounds like this is a similar idea to a mis-folded protein, where the shape of the molecules is what is deadly to viruses. It

More importantly, the flu has a vaccine. New versions of it are released each year according to what health organizations think will be the dominant variants. The new virus has no vaccine.
