We use Okta where I work but we are allowed to install Okta Verify without installing the MDM profile. If we want to do work email on our phone, we do have to submit to MDM. 99% of the employees I know refused to allow MDM on their person

This is a fascinating article that is well written and has a lot of interesting information. However it feels like he is falling into the same trap that most of the media falls into constantly, thinking that AI & Software are easy. If h

Supplements are buyer beware anyway because even when they're direct from the manufacturer there is no guarantee the product actually contains what is claimed. My favorite example is that I'm lactose intolerant, I've tried a

This is ridiculous. Bicycles were near 50 years old by 1930. There was a ton of riding done before nicely paved roads were everywhere. The Tour De France is happening right now, it was first run in 1903 and covered 1500 miles, with rid

This thing would totally work for me, and I get both the Honda "small is better" ethos & the design aesthetic. I live in the Suburbs, my driving is usually ~10 miles a day on work days. There are no busses that are helpful fo

I was just mentioning that I haven't really given Kobo a shot... so I could be in the dark and Kobo is better. But I hear enough through the woodwork that I have been under the impression using Kobo would be trading off annoyances with

I've backed up my eBooks from time to time & cracked some books over the years that I had purchased & wanted to put on another device but a lot of the time I don't worry about it. I got my first kindle in 2010 and bounced

I am a bit younger, graduated HS in 1995. But I'm essentially of the same generation and learned on the same stuff. QBasic -> Turbo Pascal -> C in high school. I made a simple video game in my senior year of high school that

Nothing beats a teacher but there are some problematic things with piano teachers IME. (I've had 2 over the past 20 years) - Piano is super super super biased towards classical music - Huge emphasis on reading music and playing it ba

That's really informative but to me that's a little misleading since they are counting the Volt and other plug-in hybrids as electric cars when in reality they are burning gas. Tesla has taken such a beating in the press about the

This started to happen to mine at work too. Luckily I got it down to IT before it started on fire. They took the hard drive out. Opening the case released pressure on the swelling battery. As soon as it was open the battery started swe

There are things that are sad about how that growth affected southern NH. I spent huge amounts of time bicycling & motorcycling through NH when I lived there. Southwestern NH (everything pretty much west of Nashua) stayed pretty nice ot

Great points. A lot of professional parenting advice givers are also just pseudo-science.. no different than fitness or nutrition people. The recommendations are constantly changing... so clearly none if it is perfect.

I'm not sure why they would bother with the effort of this if the wing wasn't generating lift.

by ben7799 7y ago
For sure you are right about it having a lot of challenges and the total weight vs battery weight vs payload weight is a huge one. But remember the wing design is competing against "no wing" so it is easy to be a huge improvement.

This is a really novel design.. few moving parts, and solves the main issue with multirotor drones.. namely that they are incredibly inefficient in terms of power required to fly. When the initial hype about Amazon drone delivery came out I

There isn't much correlation between what is posted on signs and what is safe and what is legal. We see all kinds of insanity in what gets painted on the road. The option to take the lane is always there and it always works. If you alw

Left turn Option 1 - "Cross Stop and Pivot" is likely illegal. Also you are riding right in front of cars that might be trying to turn right. And you're riding in an unexpected direction so you're surprising the cars.

Yes I would say you're right and this stuff should be obvious immediately to any adult, especially one who also knows how to drive a car. But watching the behavior of "people on bikes" who are not "established cyclists&q

That is for sure a thing but that's definitely separate from grade inflation. The grade inflating teacher might give the person who almost got it right an A, the teacher not inflating might give that student a B. Even in these super di

This could be interpreted as the student being highly motivated to work very hard as a result of knowing how much his/her parents were paying. I graduated from a hard school 20 years ago that still has a reputation as a place that resi

Not till Jony Ive leaves? I think this is the root of most of these Apple design faux pas... he goes back to the Steve Jobs Era and was definitely blessed. With Steve gone there is probably no one at the company who can actually say "T
