Corporations talk only BS for the past 10-15 years, words have no longer a meaning. Failures are usually rewarded, not punished, failing upwards is the norm in many places. Expectations of real responsibility, actions, etc are for people fr

Hiring process is never perfect, you find after 6-12 months you made a mistake. I saw that many times, I did that myself 3 times (hired people that were later fired, even after being promoted, as they did not perform well even if they were

Since Google is no longer restricted by "don't be evil", overhiring to keep the best employees is a valid business plan. It is easier to overhire than to attract , interview and offer to better candidates and most companies a

The efficiency of gasoline and Diesel engines is a lot better, over 30% and even over 40% for Diesel. I think the best gasoline engines get close to 40%.

It is not just Dell and capacitors, all the companies at that time did it (tried to hide the problem) and all the companies try even today to hide any problems with their products. With Dell computer failed, with Boeing planes crashed, some

My point is that Muslim countries, the religion or their theocracy (limited to only few countries, to be honest) is not the cause of the lack of freedom, you can see the lack of freedom and rights everywhere. The history of the Old World (E

Who was talking about Tate or "adequacy" of the second? It was just a list of examples of rights that don't exist outside USA, not about effectiveness, morality, adequacy etc. Want it or not, the world is mostly not free . R

I don't see how "everyone is doing it" is your reading of "some rights are more of an exception than a rule". What is the "do" part that everyone does? Not having it? The history is that there were no righ

"came about randomly" is a strange statement; natural selection, where you filter out weaker specimens of the species in favor of the stronger ones is not random, it is a long time process.

My parents lived in Jordan (as expats) for over 30 years. Back in 1980, Jordan was a very modern country and had great rulers, my father was in good relations with one of the king's sons (I don't remember which one) and he met the

What I see most often, there are 3 main causes that I was able to identify, probably a lot more than I am not aware of. 1. Eye glasses. At this age (~ 42-43, more precise) most people start to have degrade vision that requires some correcti

The cable is symmetric, either UTP and fiber are not discriminating. The equipment at each end is not part of the law, if I understand it correctly.

They did not compare with the Wright Bros, but with their 5 blade prop. The Wright Brothers propeller was extremely inefficient at the speeds the test plane is flying, so don't take the 90% number at one speed and compare it blindly wi

This is for cabin noise, for overall noise tractor is still better. On some airports very close to the city the overall noise is the most concerning factor, in some places you cannot operate at night because of the noise, so in the end it d

To some extent, yes. Electric motors are not completely quiet, but there are some propellers that are relatively quiet, without hard numbers it is just informed guessing.

by AdrianB1 4y ago
Is it the external noise or the cabin noise? We changed the propeller on the plane I usually fly (Ikarus C42) a couple of years ago and the new one is extremely quiet as perceived from the ground, now the engine makes more noise than the pr

The Turbo button did exist on processors that ran over 4.77 MHz of the original 8086. I had a Turbo button on the 9.54 MHz 8088, also on the 386 DX/40 (lowering the frequency to 8 MHz IIRC), it was not specific to 486. Actually the 486

Nope, the original Pentiums at 60/66 MHz were sometimes slower than 486 DX/4 at 100 MHz, but I don't remember the specifics. Pentium at 90 MHz was already faster at all times, the 100 MHz one had no competition from that DX&#

While I agree with the decisions, I must point that elected officials are far from being representatives for the people for a long time; in many countries they are just puppets for their political parties and elections are a choice between
