Although many blades are made from polyester, producing wind turbine blades manufactured with epoxy-based resin has increasingly become standard practice in the wind industry over the past decades. In the most mature wind markets, the firs

I feel like San Francisco is NOT a good city to test autonomous vehicles. Flat, grid cities would make better test grounds, preferably without streetcars.

It's really a slow motion apocalypse for American jurisprudence, common sense, and dignity.

Maybe 6 years ago there was a rumor that you could get a 50 year mortgage in California. I thought surely that is satire. I guess it was not.

When something is so blatantly unfair/anticompetitive without comment, one can only assume the intentions are clear.

This is an excellent step in the right direction, but will it help reduce the absurd volume of studies and the "publish or perish" paradigm?

What's worse, is that with the media coverage about this, a company is going to think twice about hiring that employee. I think lawsuits do more harm for the employee than good. Unless they just win an obscene amount of money to set th

I think this only scratches the surface. China has a social credit system. Who's to say that these major corporations do not have a employee rating system? Speak out about layoffs? Your rating goes down. Agree to come back to the offic

I am so confused by the state of business and employees today. Why don't people just quit? So many of these employees at places like google, treat their job like it's a marriage. Are the benefits really that good?

There was a great write up about the speed limit for aircraft, in place since the 1970s(!) and how it should be changed. https://www.thecgo.org/benchmark/congress-should-legalize-su... Over the time the overland ban h

After legal fees and taxes, that's about 500,000. Hope it was worth it.

At least this time Cloudflare is being ordered to do it, as opposed to just doing it because the CEO feels like it. I'm not sure which is worse.

You underestimate college students because that is exactly what we did in college. People went to their doctor, faked hyperactivity, and were given adderall which they then sold to other students. I'm sure your ADD is horrible but try

This seems just a little bit of a conspiracy theory but, giving it credence I would say that it might be because the drugs are ridiculously overprescribed. Particularly for those who just don't need it. In the case of ADD, once there w

To be fair, it is the news media… Reporters take nuggets of information, plus buckets of speculation, and spin it into something that you will click on.

It must be emphasized up front that there is no official confirmation that the image was taken at Volkel Air Base, that the bent B61 shape is a real weapon (versus a trainer), or that the damage was the result of an accident (versus a trai

WFH may very well be a trap for companies to identify their "least loyal" employees. I've heard in business that if you're not at the table you're not involved. I can see a future where the same will be said about W

The article doesn't mention this, but does anyone know how they make a living? If it's just living with their parents and family, what happened to these people when that family or parents pass away? How do they survive ?

AI is not true AI.. at the moment. ChatGPT is inherently biased by its developers, which means at least half the population may not trust its answers. For true AI he will have to give it autonomy, and I'm more interested if Altman is r

Something that readers may not know is that they are now heat pumps on hot water heaters. An added benefit is that the fan on the heat pump will exhaust cold air. That might be a benefit for some folks!
