#1 here can be automated. My current employer sells one such solution, though there are of course others. Here is a blog post about the vulnerability from back when it was discovered earlier this year. http://blog.sonatype.com&#x

Tesla, Nissan Leaf, or Chevy Bolt - any electric car should have similar benefits in reduced maintenance costs.

6 _sustained_ gs would require a g-suit, but for very brief durations it's not bad. It would be very uncomfortable for passengers though.

With regards to airplanes, you have several issues. The main one being that airplanes are not equipped with sensors capable of detecting other aircraft nearby. Without a complete picture of the airspace to a very significant distance a full

Turbo prop aircraft are generally above 200 hp and therefore are considered high-performance aircraft by the FAA. High performance aircraft generally are much more difficult for takeoff and landing because they fly so much faster which make

The weight of the electric motors is definitely a lot less, but what most people don't think about is that the main weight of an electric airplane is in the batteries. The battery pack in a Tesla Model S is ~1300 lbs. The batteries req

Fuel ends up being about $50 an hour (depending on the price of fuel, but most C172 trainers burn close to 11 gal/h). While an electric trainer would save almost all of that money in fuel costs, most FBOs don't pay for a _new_ C17

I found Sonos support to be super helpful. First time I've talked with a support representative where I came away impressed with how knowledgeable they were.

We don't have any automated systems involved in the hiring process. I checked internally and I guess we had specific reasons we didn't go any further.

I was able to get a remote job at my current employer without any prior remote experience. As long as you are a more senior developer, it's assumed that you have the self-discipline to do good work remotely. We're currently hiring

One thing to keep in mind as well is that the net worth numbers are using stock value which most of the ultra rich cannot actually liquidate.

If you look at the history of the Wright Brothers company[1], you'll find they spent too much time trying to litigate patents and not enough time innovating. Unfortunately, while they had a lead in powered flight, they blew it away by

This is why remote work is the future. Live wherever you want, spend 0 time commuting to work. Even if you have a modest 30 minute commute, you are losing 1 hour every day that you could be spending doing something else. BTW, my employer is

One thing I've heard others do is to just ssh into a remote machine and do all coding against that (through vi or whatever) instead of coding locally.

There are plenty of other amusement parks across the country that aren't open all year, why does a Disney park need to be open all year?

A physical firewall is "a wall or partition designed to inhibit or prevent the spread of fire" and a car typically has one in-between the engine and the passenger compartment. That way if the engine starts on fire, the passenger s

Twice the installed base of Mac OS makes a lot of sense to me. My wife and I both have an iPad but only one laptop which we share but almost never use. If that is representative of everyone that owns a Mac then you end up with about double

True, much of math is relegated to experts. This is _exactly_ the problem. Why do you think so many adults have such little understanding of math and will proudly proclaim that they haven't used algebra or geometry in their adult life?

Apple has always been early on technology changes like USB-C, in a couple years we'll look back on this like when the iMac dropped the floppy drive. USB-C is obviously better, it's just a matter of time before everything uses it.

I know of someone who got ticketed driving drunk and had their license suspended. They acted like they were the _victim_. I'm sorry, but there is just no excuse for driving drunk and if you get caught you deserve worse than just loosin
