Have you tried this? In other words, have you abandoned 100% of your programming work in order to try soft skills? Were you just as successful as your archetype businessperson? If you haven't then how you look at it is just a construct

Often clients can't produce specs sufficient to build a house/building/pipeline. That's why there is an entire category of firms that exist that are hired by clients to produce these documents. Guy wants an apartment bu

Requiring an in-state drivers license prevents one of the many loopholes touted by gun control advocates whereby strong gun control in one state is easily gotten around by driving to the next state over. But I assume your reply was meant mo

How will this impact one of the key arguments for self-driving cars: elimination of DUIs? If a driver is required behind the wheel able to take over at a moment's notice then the self-driving car's purpose is defeated - you cannot

This wasn't readily apparent to me after watching your video so I guess I'll ask here - what do you think is the core value of PlanGrid? Is the point to be a full document control type solution (e.g. - in the same vein as Aconex)

I'm upvoting you so that others can see an example of incorrect thinking for traffic problems. Throughput is only one goal for traffic. One can see immediately that a minute of flow at 15mph is equivalent to a minute of stop/go t

The reason for this is how the force distributions are applied. A catenary forms when self weight is the driving force. In other words, when the weight per unit length of the cable is the same. For a bridge, the weight of the deck is much

Two miles of mountain does not "weigh down on you". As I said earlier, the alps are known to have very good rock. What this means is that it is, essentially, self supporting. You are not designing for two miles of overburden pr

Your math is incorrect. This is a common mistake. Tonnes is not a unit of force although many laymen believe it is. 90 GPa is 90x10^9 Pa which is 90x10^9 N/m^2 90x10^9 N/m^2 x 1m^2/1^6mm^2 = 90x10^3 N/mm^2 90x10^3 N&#x
