In the simplest, likely potentially inaccurate explanation... Robinhood doesn't actually make the trades. They pay someone else to make the trades, add a small amount to the price, and that's how they get to 0$ trading price to th

I find this odd, in Canada we can get all the replacement parts needed. Just may have to wait a bit but they have them.

I think it's an language thing. Shoes I would wear for indoor activities like the gym I'd generally refer to as "gym shoes". Any other form of indoor shoes I'd just refer to as shoes. Indoor shoes to me immediately

This is a mostly unrelated comment, but the concept of "Indoor shoes" is just so foreign to my part of the world (unless you are referring to something like a slipper). It still absolutely flabbergasts me that large parts of Ameri

It also depends on how you wear your clothes. Before Covid, I spent a significant amount of time on a plane, travelling, and flying around. Now I'm sitting at home. My same clothes are seeing significantly less wear with the lack of tr

Oh man, this. I remember I worked at a major defence contractor, and we absolutely bombed, like failed through the floor an employee satisfaction survey. And when the VP finally sat down with people they expressed how shitty the computers h

I love this for a few reasons. First off, we get to see a deeper look into what Apple did, and I'm enjoying how they went outside the established norms... Sometimes the Apple cart (pun not intended) needs overturning. Secondly, the fac

I think the bigger problem is moderation. If little Billy or Sally have a piece of candy or two at a holiday, or a slice of cake on their birthday... No big deal. But I've found a lot of every day foods, especially in the US are so ins

And maintenance. The biggest differentiator between American and Russian aircraft is that the American aircraft were better maintained. The Russian aircraft were likely more reliable for their given level of maintenance... but they were ver

The C919 is very similar to a North American aircraft. It was developed in tandem with Bombardier's C-Series (Now known as the Airbus A220). They leverage supply chain economies etc. Not quite sure where the hate is coming from. The US

Love it! The more competition the better. Also demonstrates (at least personally) the internal bias I have that the distribution of mobile phones in North America is the same as the distribution across the world... And that is clearly an in

While I'd never buy this, I find it fascinating that outside of the Western lens there are still a ton of different and competing technologies. Reminds me of how Russia advanced research into Ternary computing considerably further than

That's an awesome question. I think that some aspect of systems thinking (such as defining requirements, or breaking complex problems down at a high level) should be included in all engineering disciplines, but I agree that it's d

I think one reason for the negative comments (speaking as someone trained as a Systems Engineer, with 10+ years of experience and now working as a Consultant and performing Systems Engineering occasionally) is that the majority of the &quot

Yes. The four main players are Transport Canada, EASA, China and I believe South Africa. Each is refusing to take the FAA certification at its word. Had the FAA been running the program, they would have been up ages ago but the other regula

In critical applications, much more than you'd imagine. Lots of defence and critical component suppliers still maintain a significant amount of hand work for low volume and critical areas. Don't have a source unfortunately other t

As a fun side note, the CEO of HBC made more than the CEO of American Airlines! Yay for profit before long term business plans, and looting 350+ year companies

I agree. All of my consulting interviews have gone on tangents here, there and everywhere.. And focused more on ability to think, problem solve and be a human. Whereas engineering and software jobs are rote.

I've been struggling with diving into a difficult task at work. I think it's because it's been a while since I've had a difficult task. This post resonated with me, and reminded me of the sense of accomplishment that com

For a junior candidate, which do you think is easier to train? The engineering skills, or the writing skills? At first glance, I think writing... But as I think more I personally think the writing / communication skills are more challe
