Hot air balloons frequently fly over Rancho Santa Fe nearby, as well. Local ordinances are such that most if not all of them are doing so illegally, if I recall correctly, but that still doesn't mean shooting them down would be legal.

While the point behind posting these entrance exams is often to make a commentary on a decline in education standards, I'd suggest that it really shows nothing of the sort. The exam is, in fact, rather easy and simplistic, and only see

The arguments being made here are absurd. There's a huge difference between "causing interference to other signals" or "managing [a hotel's] network in order to provide a secure and reliable Wi-Fi service," and

In our school district, it appeared that teaching assignments were largely based on seniority and intra-district politics. It seemed as though the senior teachers most established in the hierarchy would try to get the classes and programs w

Synergy has been a bit odd in recent years. It doesn't seem like a particularly large or complex piece of software, and many projects that seem to be of similar scope are things maintained in the spare time of a few developers. It has

Whether it's worth doing, or even possible to do, is highly dependent upon who you are. As a scientist, I appear to be essentially banned from being on a jury. The last time I was there, my experience consisted of wasting two days sitt

Why is that the conclusion? As much as I am skeptical of meta-analyses and the scientific soundness of most psychological research, the paper really does suggest that dedication has relatively little to do with performance. Patience and ded

I'd speculate that the 10,000 hour rule is a product of an American obsession with the idea of hard work being the most important factor in success, with the idea that everyone's abilities are reasonably equal, and determination a

It has been the policy of my lab, and many others, to ignore journal policies on publishing manuscript versions, and post them on our website after the journal publishes the paper. We've never heard of any complaints about this practic

It's amazing that Flytenow seems to think the FAA's position doesn't "answer ... questions" or is arbitrary. The FAA's position seems quite clear and based on reasonable ideas, even from the letters Flytenow li

Even that page understates the difference. There has been no fatal crash of a major national US carrier since 2001, and there have been only a small handful of regional carrier crashes in the last ten years. There are fatal GA crashes all

There were 5,560 canceled rides, but the article suggests that a single Uber recruiter was responsible for almost 30% of those, and another was responsible for a further 10%. It would be interesting to see the data here in more detail: it m

My apartment building rents out its first floor for events, often to weddings, and I've also noticed there's a tendency for guests to review things that really have nothing to do with us: how the event was organized, how the band

This seems like a rather nonsensical reason devised by hotels that charge for wifi. In fact, the quotes they give are actually from companies that do paid hotel wifi. The argument is very similar to arguments about pricing, monopoly-protect

There are legitimate security reasons why various major sites want to do this, and the changes do appear to be in response to actual, self-XSS attacks that have been seen. While I am no fan of the NSA, I don't see how this has anything

As landlords, we obviously have language prohibiting these sorts of actions on the parts of our tenants. But that isn't just because of our own greed. Tenement homes/boarding houses get worn down quite a bit faster than rentals. It's easy t
