I'm from the US and recently took a trip to UK for about a week. I was honestly surprised at the number of cameras strung up everywhere in the metro areas. Indeed the article states "The roughly 420,000 closed-circuit television

EVs are by no means a panacea, and synthetic fuels are an awesome maturing tech that can go a great deal further to reduce our green house gas emissions, while not requiring an entirely new supply chain infrastructure be built to accommodat

I think it's still super premature to assume society will all just shift to EVs, considering the advances being made in zero emissions synthetic fuels, and the utter stagnation in advances for battery tech. Even Porsche who just relea

It doesn't mean the list is going away, it just means people proven to be US citizens will be expunged (rightfully so). Anyone NOT proven to be US citizens (and located outside the US), and thus not protected by US Constitutional righ

In my company's version of OKRs, I count "number of meetings declined" among my most shining and useful quarterly metrics.

That's rather drastic, but I'm glad that worked out well for you. Everyone thinks prior to having kids that their kids are going to be the next Carl Sagan. Nobody ever considers that their kids might be the next Jeffery Dahmer.

Which sounds great until you realize the windshield you need requires automatic rain sensors, or has an antenna built in, and none of the cheap Chinese replacements are equitable drop-in swaps. Also, those "very reasonable rates"

People have a hard time admitting in retrospect they wished they didn't have kids because of biological bonding. My life would have INFINITELY less responsibilities and much more money had I not had a child. Are those things worth tr

Thankfully, the field of study listed on my degree is Information Security. I would almost be embarrassed to tell anyone it was in "cyber" security.

Yes and no. The price many cybersecurity pros want, is to be able to live in a place of their choosing and work remotely. Many will even take lower salaries than the market would dictate where the company is located to do so. While this

General Wesley Clark ran for POTUS on the Democratic ticket and was opposed to the war in Iraq. He also opposed those calling for war with Iran in 2007. His politics don't square with the neo-conservatives at all. Did you mean to ref

That's fair. But shouldn't they at least get their top design teams on the case? The styling on this car looks like the design team just phoned it in.

Why can't Honda just normalize the EV drive train by releasing their top selling Accord and Civic as an EV option? Why does it have to be repackaged into some ugly little toad of a car?
