Lying to your customers to make yourself look better is malice. "Lazy programmer" excuse is just as shitty as "rogue engineer". Who is in charge of QA and feature testing? "That sounds hard to implement correctly, l

The episode was Season 5 Episode 14 "Once You Go Black, You Never Go Back". In the season finale, Zack absorbs Rita's evil power crystal and turns on the Power Rangers and Angel Grove. Zordon informs the Power Rangers of a se

Another interesting resource is "Guerrilla guide to CNC machining, mold making, and resin casting" @ http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/gcnc/ How did you find your commodity enclosures? It seems like there are a lot

This is not surprising. Cobbled together prototypes and first runs are usually not pretty. It's like the first pancake or waffle, usually not quite right. A machine will certainly be quicker and more consistent once setup correctly. Pe

His contact info is in his profile. Hopefully you were planning to pay for his consulting services. Moving fabrication and supply chain to another country doesn't sound like something solved with a brief chat.

I guess my point is, how does a company prevent its customers from turning into statistics on a report? You were part of the churn on some report somewhere in their giant number crunching machine. It's cheap to have someone pester you

They're not actually begging you to come back. They just pay someone shit wages and commission to engage in real-life spam. If they really gave a shit, they would not have lost you as a customer in the first place. Why improve business

All you need is a runaway process to chew through your battery in an hour or two. One time Facebook kept chewing up gobs of power despite me not using it very often, and it seemed to be because it wanted me to sign in again or something ina

Climbing a 100+ foot tree would probably not be advisable or possible in an emergency situation. There may not be a nearby clearing or you could be disoriented. Likely the satphone is better, but there are still limits.

I tried a $20 solar USB battery pack combo device and it was pathetic. There are more expensive options that would probably work better. Not all emergencies are during the day or near powerful light sources. The Ampy Move is $100 and doesn&

Up to 15 years is what they say. That is probably a very optimistic estimate, but I would not be surprised that it could do standby for a very long time on a single Lion AA cell, as there is no screen. Solar and kinetic charging are bulky a

There have been events where power is lost for extended periods in developed areas. Hurricane Katrina would be a good example of people being trapped without basic services inside a major metro. Tornadoes, flooding, wildfires, and ice storm

While probably better than relying on mobile towers, aren't satellite communications difficult with a dense forest canopy? Probably best that people be aware of the limits of their devices before heading out.

Apples and oranges. The new car market dealership model actually obfuscates the price so much that prices can vary wildly by thousands of dollars for the same model and package options. It is a very consumer unfriendly process. You could ev

Simply saying "let the market decide who is worthy of housing" is also classicist and racist. Unless you explicitly define the market has to cater to "X income brackets", "Y racial demographics", and "Z% n

A marketplace is a tool, and it alone does not automatically bring freedom to people or ensure fair resource allocation. There are complicated factors for the differences in the countries you mentioned.

Many of the benefits we have today in the "first world" come from people demanding a fairer share of the resources being allocated. Charities don't fill in the huge gaps that leave people drinking toilet water or eating food

A lot of flagships do have the luxury vibe. That doesn't change the fact that most are bought with monthly installment plans, which makes the cost seem reasonable. Maybe poor people are getting them to not look poor or because their ki

When you walk into a phone store you're going to get upsold on the high-end phones, broken into small monthly payments. Also there are still many value phones being sold that are pieces of crap. A poor person may be better off spending

What are the benefits of using cloud providers for video encoding, compared to a dedicated server provider, or even a localized server? Dedicated providers can offer 16-core/32-thread Xeon servers for a few hundred dollars a month. If

Probably not all Libertarians are the same, but most I've dealt with have a selfish arrogance about the outcome of the choices they've made, and ignorance about the plight of others. There is also a strong desire to dismantle regu

It seems the Libertarian mindset would lead someone who survived a plane crash to think that they chose the right seat, and those who died must have had poor seat choosing ability. Instead of it just being chaotic luck. The Libertarian mind

For very little effort you can simply redirect your main domain, and gain the technical benefits/simplicity of having a www subdomain, all while not inconveniencing your users. This pretty much makes the parent's point of hosting

While on the topic of airplanes, we shouldn't think they have perfect user interfaces. There have certainly been some design choices that should be criticized, and likely contributed to people dying. https://en.wikipedia.org

Damage to the vagus nerve is potentially implicated. Low vagal tone could mean anything, such as damage to the vagus nerve from other sources or stress caused by the illness itself, rather than the other way around. The problem with a diagn

Gastroparesis due to diabetic neuropathy and side effects from surgical procedures is probably more prevalent than genuine cases of stress-induced gastroparesis. The cause of my case is not known. It'd probably fall under idiopathic. I

Not lazy to assume anxiety without reviewing colonoscopy, EGD & gastric emptying study results? Perhaps I was showing signs of anxiety, but as a side effect of the discomfort I was in. There are certainly hypochondriacs out there, but t

I was suggesting the diagnosis of "Psychosomatic" was lazy on the doctor's part. I went into a doctor's office 10 years ago with digestive problems, and the doctor was ready to write me a prescription for anti-depressant

The problem is the rush some doctors are in to label a patient's condition as psychosomatic, and then prescribe drugs instead of something like CBT. A psychosomatic diagnosis is often code for "I am lazy" or "I don'
