Some types of employees have very irregular schedules, which can vary on a week-to-week basis. Right now, the most common solution is to review the "master schedule", usually a large printout hung in a common area in the back of t

I'm thinking it isn't in production yet, based on wording like "we're excited about the prospects" and "although it's still alpha software".

The ease of communication makes it really easy to find like-minded individuals, of practically any opinion a person could hold. When you find a community of people that hold a particular opinion then it's easy for that community to tur

If there were only a single major vendor, then they would have an effective monopoly which would take years to catch up to, such as iPhones/Android. Instead, we had both Vive and Oculus release at around the same time, and both have se

I second the sentiments on cross platform! I use MacOS + Linux at work and Windows + Linux at home, so quality cross-platform software is great for consistency.

But can I control the intensity of the fire via a proprietary smartphone app and subscription service?

The key is in tracking quality, latency, and refresh rate. High-end VR (Oculus, Vive) have spent considerable time and effort solving this issue in particular, which unfortunately requires a lot of hardware, but are largely acknowledged to

I totally understand the pricing issue, and I think a rough estimate would be perfectly fine, even if they were rounded. A "price range rating" might also work, e.g. $, $$, $$$, with each rating representing e.g. $0-99, $100-299,

Thanks for putting this together! I've been meaning to get a drone for a while, and it's starting to look like it's about the right time for it. From the perspective of a first-time buyer, what I would most like to see added

What's the time frame? How soon do you expect to be able to demonstrate a prototype? Will standard cameras be able to use the memory card? How will the technology protect against devices being confiscated while they are in use?

There could be reasonable ways to accomplish that. Knowing how well a candidate handles frustrating situations is definitely worthwhile, I just think there should be a lot of caution about how the situation is presented so that the candidat
