Of interest to me because I have been doing agricultural process monitoring and production control systems for about 30 years. And most of my clients' systems are at least semi-custom and re-invent wheels for no other purpose other tha

Unintended side effect - continued decrease in funding of pubic education. My experience - niece and nephew went to non-secular school grades 6-12. Almost half of each senior class took calc. Not because they were smarter, but because they

Do not understand your question about retirement when you indicate that what you want is a sabbatical. There is a significant difference. It is important for people in the engineering space to write stuff that is not ambiguous. If you feel

I dunno. I live in San Diego County. My house monitor has recorded 14 power outages during previous 11 months. Three were planned power cuts, two were due to high winds, and the remainder varied between 3 minutes to over 14 hours where SDG&

For North America, tree preservation may be just as important as tree planting. But fire and conservation regulations can be at odds. Per my CFP insurance carrier, I can no longer plant trees on my property. And the CDF and local fire marsh

But for some on-site hardware jobs, demand seems to have increased (anecdotally?). Was about to go full-time retired, but people started calling during the summer. Very senior level engineers having experience in test, manufacturing, qualit

Any hardware skills/knowledge? For my last seven contracts, the most apolitical and areligious (is that a word?) engineering teams have been hardware people. The more evangelical have been software people. So it would seem if you conti

The biggest advantage to this category to technology is load bearing. Per My godson, he never went on patrol with less than 25kg hanging off of his body. Perhaps they can have some level of immunity to penetration by 12mm + rounds. But this

No. And not to the parent comment. Senior enlisted schools are tactical and strategic and philosophical, with a heavy emphasis on ethics. Even technical schools have both tactical and strategic subject matter to provide the basis for reason

A view from another side. I am not a recruiting specialist, but have been retained by clients to "screen the candidates for someone like me". Greed and avarice typically win, so I tend to accept these follow-up gigs. The types of

No. No. And no. If remembered correctly, FMFM 1 came about in the 1980s; please correct if otherwise. I was in enlisted bootcamp during the 1970s, and excerpts from the marksmanship manual, which is the fundamental skill of a Marine, were t

For that type of stuff, probably a stupid idea because the root cause was poor process control by the factory. Typically modern production lines mitigate troubleshooting and re-work by building it correctly, which was supposedly the origina
