I wouldn't rag on it or Access too much because it serves/d a purpose: app and data design for less technical users who are busy doing a million other things. I supported several dozen FMP apps at Stanford Student Housing (R&D

Yet another idiotic, ignorant conflation between HV distribution lines, which CANNOT be buried (not without lots of cost-prohibitive infrastructure), with local distribution lines, which CAN be buried. Hell, why not just pipe in hydrogen or

I get that old, inconsiderate, a-holes clap loudly right next to other people's heads, causing hearing injury, but normal clapping... wtf? It seems a bit fascist to tell people what they can and can't do, like an ISIS encampment.

I'm currently in Paradise. PG&E's PSPSes are not notified consistently or accurately. The power is on as of 10/26/2019 1:35 am, but it may go out at any minute. Also, they don't seem to follow the conditions aro

Because doing what would be honest and convenient for voters wouldn't benefit those who can sell big, porkbarrel pet projects or enact repressive/discriminatory measures like voter ID laws or Interstate Crosscheck (IVRC)... a syst

Most California cities need their own grids... reliance on PG&E and SCE is a recipe for failure. I'm currently in Paradise and have the generator out ready for yet another random PSPS that will accomplish nothing but lose business

A manager in the border security apparatus with no real-world experience sold their managers on technology solutions to human intelligence problems, and the higher-ups drooled at all the salary and hourly employee money they could divert to

Isn't that an equivocation/conflation of differently bad things? Shouldn't border control optimize risk management based primarily on wise human intelligence on-the-ground supported by reliable or at least reliability-qualifi

This is why founders and employees should form worked-owned co-ops rather than be slaves to investors. If they absolutely need funding, look for angels, loans, convertible notes or ways to build slowly without giving away control to vampire

Vulture capitalism strikes again, exploiting undiversified, banana republic rustbelt towns who misplace their faith in a single, quick-fix, recovery panacea rather than many different industries that are geared to the needs of today.

You're speaking for other people when you can only speak for yourself, and you need to get out more. A not-yet-existent, co-op-owned platform where creators share in monetization and have straight-forward/transparent content polic

Sounds about right. They demonetize blancoliorio's in-depth commercial aircraft and pilot industry analysis as "sad content." Oh and donutoperator gets demonetized despite blurring almost everything and not swearing. Non-corp
