Anecdotally speaking, I have met at least a hundred women who happened to be engineers, and none of them were trans. Then again, I don't work in Silicon Valley, lol.

I imagine it'll end up like Walmart did! First you get: "Here's our pretty good priced national brand stuff!" Then eventually you get "Our national brand stuff is well priced, but you can save some cash if you get o

Your story reminds me very much of a coworker of mine. He mentioned how they'd start an analysis job on it and get a printout of the results delivered to their desk later in the day by a messenger. What a difference.

Apple has been in the same general area since the 1970s, and all of the many companies that came before them lol.

And most of them are really tiny compared to the space they occupy.

The naysaying is hilarious and pathetic. Like, let's not throw our best and brightest at solving these problems. No. That's a waste of money. I KNOW! LET'S THROW IT ALL AT CRYPTOCURRENCY AND ADVERTISING AGENCIES!! BEST IDEA E

The same way that most companies end up when they leave California. The engineers don't move away. They start up new companies that end up being competition to their old employer. Half the time, after some years, the big old company bu

The necessary sensors are really expensive, and that's why the production cars from Tesla and GM and such just aren't that great at it.

I wonder if the people who worked on it don't work there anymore.

Yeah, I developed software for a platform that isn't documented anywhere at all on the internet, and the documentation it comes with is sketchy. Discovering a new widget and spending time messing around with it was the norm.

That one's straight up called the Elvis Operator. I hate it when things like this get names that everyone's supposed to know and it's considered a mark against you if you've never heard it before, but I do think the name

It would be cool if you could see the maintenance record of any plane on request, but I'm guessing that'll never happen. Ever.

The US is the only country where automatic transmissions are anywhere near as popular as they are. If I am not mistaken, in most other countries, the majority of drivers are driving manuals. That alone probably discourages people from texti

I'd guess the door desks cost $100-150 to build, more if they had a dedicated desk builder. XD I have a hard time believing that'd be cheaper than having a stock of ikea desks and having your new employees put them together on the

The solution is obvious! Buy three The Public Radios! Isn't it genius? :D

I had that problem with my Windows laptops too, especially the Precision 7245 I had! GRR I hated that laptop.

It sure does. Luckily it’s good enough for my tot desktop at home, although my laptops are still macs. My work laptop cost a shit load of money, but so do the dells the rest of my team has.

I only ever see shit like this in affluent neighborhoods.

It's also a good way to prohibit driving through neighborhoods to explore them. Whooo! Keepin the riff raff out! /s

If you have an ABET certified computer engineering degree, you can become a licensed engineer. Admittedly, I'm surprised that isn't a requirement for these things sometimes.

Some PMs will try to act the opposite, but if you're the property owner, you're HIRING the property manager to find you tenants and/or manage the rental process. Their responsibilities are defined in the property management c

I highly doubt that. At least in LA county, this place was built up in a giant friggin profit-motivated hurry. Now, if we're talking about planned cities built in the 80s in orange county, maybe we have a point! Maybe. SF has a similar

There were a few intersections in a city I used to live in, where they set up redlight cameras and quickly figured out why people were running the lights. When they changed the order that the lights changed, suddenly nobody ran red lights a

I remember when it was the opposite. My PowerBook G4 from 2005 had DVI and S-Video. S-Video! Why would anyone in 2005 need an S-Video port?

There were also a ton of people asking for a lower end Mac Pro. So what does Apple do? Make the highest of highest end computers ever! $6000! It's like their product management is run by sadistic assholes.

Have you tried the android version of firefox? I really dig it, especially because the desktop plugins still work in it. :D

What would be cool is if the software and hardware design is done by 3 completely different teams. Hehe.
