Are you looking at anything or have been pitched anything in the AEC space? The firm I work for has a small R&D department that is heavily testing out VR. As I've said in other posts, I can only really see it as a marketing tool cu

That's something I would've asked a lawyer. I was laid off from a firm that forced everyone to sign a non-disparagement of the CEO and company. For me, about $2000 was at stake. I was debating turning down the money but, after che

Honestly, this would be the first thing I would do, though, since you've been there less than a year, I'm not sure if you would get the 'max' or not. In CA, that's about $450/wk. I would recommend checking the

Zoning is also a big issue in LA and hasn't been updated since the 70s I believe. If you look at a satellite view of the city, there are nodes of density with massive amounts of individual house spaces. But it's expensive all over

Also in terms of housing cost, the major players in building new apartment buildings are real estate developers. Their number people tell them exactly how to maximize profit per square footage and that goes into the design from the beginnin

Flew over Iran on a Dubai - LAX flight many years ago. And kept going north, over Russia, over the Arctic, and down across Alaska. Was pretty amazing to watch out the window. Beautiful endless nothing.

You're not alone. I work at an AEC firm. We give money and some privilege to 2-3 people at work to experiment with VR. It's interesting to some degree but, beyond being a marketing tool, I don't really see it being useful as

Or maybe they're building smaller, useful, and profitable companies and don't need to be the next Google or Facebook?

Ugh, "starter homes". Someone saying that about their most recent purchase usually tells me all I need to know about them. American over-idealism at its finest.

I'm not disagreeing but I think it can also be hard to trace it back and be absolutely 100% on this. If Snowden hadn't committed the activities he did and revealed more information about the scope and breadth of the surveillance s

I think because of the two-year crapshow that is our presidential election process that most people wouldn't welcome further calls or advertising. I doubt there would've been much change in the results had you had the presidential

Character matters though. I have close family members, in a battleground state, that abstained despite voting Republican their entire lives. And, personally, I consider voting for a person, a person who's entire election has been based

Whenever I had to sign one after a lay-off I checked with lawyer friends first. They are not really enforceable.

And working more hours doesn't necessarily mean more income. I support an AEC firm and the 'architects' (quotes because most have not been licensed yet) typically work 10-12 hour days, sometimes weekends on a salary. Their ta

That's cool if they're very strict about the end time. The one I mentioned for our Mondays can be anywhere from 15 min to much much longer if there is a lot of programming (presentations by different departments, partner speeches)
