That's what he did (mentioned in the article). He prefaced his testimony with that he was not a licensed engineer but had worked in the industry for many years. A better question would be whether he had done piping & fluids vs. ano

And since this fellow spent probably 30+ years as a practicing engineer, I would think his experience counts for more than someone who got their PE the previous week.

He retired last November. I had a coworker who used his services (but never wore the t-shirt to work)

The writer is the person who added VBA to Excel + the MS Office suite. Where you used COM to make use of external libraries/programs. I assure you, he's not ignorant. Is COM obsolete today? For new development, yes. But Microsoft

Bowling is something I've wanted to become more involved with, ever since I was on a team competing (poorly) in the Austin Cup several years ago. I shouldn't be surprised that some people in the sport took the physics to this leve

I recently replaced a builder-grade dishwasher with a new one. My first criteria was that it be quiet, so that I didn't have to turn up the TV volume in the next room. I found a GE that operates at 45 dB and I can barely notice it. Bos

I never saw the program, but it's a pretty cool concept, using a phone as a controller for live broadcast game-play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3MSE8Kde9w

It's a clever idea. And it seems to work so well that they're going to use it in the F-150 Lightning.

The USAF museum in Dayton Ohio has one on display. When I was there in 2003 they had it placed next to some portions of the Berlin Wall. This example is the 601 S "Delux" which got you two-tone paint and a chrome bumper, in additi

Ford has an agreement with Electrify America (built by VW using diesel-gate penalty funds [0]). By most accounts I've read, using it is relatively frictionless with the FordPass app [1]. The annoying part seems to be finding a station

Yes, but not on the back like they have (on some models) but on the top. If your key is in one of the rear USB sockets, when you press down to activate it it will stress the port (it acts like a lever). I was thinking on the top, parallel w

I just made a suggestion to dasKeyboard that they put a place to dock your Yubikey on top of their keyboards, since people will be touching them much more often now.

This is because the state won't be making any money from EVs off the motor fuels tax, which goes towards road maintenance.

By having multiple backups over time. The ransomware criminals will sometimes plant the code and let it sit idle, so you want to have a backup that predates that event.

Have good off-site off-line backups. Train people not to click on random links. Have a good intrusion detection system.

Or if you're a TV maker with an agreement with Amazon to use this network, it's enough to send content-based media identification information - which report on what is shown on the screen (whether broadcast, cable, stream or game)

It was intended to be airgapped, but we're talking about a pipeline that is several thousand miles long, with many pumping stations and delivery terminals. All it would take is one of the SCADA systems at one of those locations to sud

No, that's pretty much it. In comparison, Pizza Hut and Domino's have slightly better pizza, at a higher cost. Little Caesar's discovered that enough people (college students, in my experience) were willing to eat slightly w

You need the SCADA systems to run the pipeline. They control the pumps, valves, product sequencing, etc. So Colonial purposely shut down the pipeline to prevent the SCADA system from getting affected, which might cause physical damage that

Not really. The surfactants/detergents get removed during the rinse cycle. The concentrations are also relatively low. Dishwashers often have a "rinse only" cycle so if this is a concern for you, run one of those after the

When you want to do some secret squirrel stuff, you start a small closely-held company. Wait until you read about Air America - an actual airline started by Claire Chennault (of Flying Tigers fame), that was bought by the CIA in the post WW

It basically maps addresses visible on one interface to those on a different interface. So you can route many addresses on 10.x to a single 10.x address that is on a different network. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us

> nothing prevents you from using expressions like “3/8 of a cm”. I'm going to use that with one of my European colleagues. And watch their eyes cross as they try to make sense of it.

Maybe. I had a neighbor who unplugged their electric dryer and ran a cord out the window to charge their Model 3.

The problem is Gresham's Law as applied to battery packs. A new EV owner decides to go on a trip and make use of the new swap stations. Their battery pack is brand new and charges to 100%. When they swap it, they're likely to get

The ID.4 interior has everything I hate about the new generation of vehicles in it. White interior (impossible to keep clean), glossy piano-black trim panels (it's pollen season here - you dare not open a window), no volume knob, and

There's a couple of reasons why the crew and officers don't just leave. One is that their employment record will show that they left their ship while their contract was still in force, which given that jobs in the industry are hi
