Like I said in my other response; it comes down to money. If we took every "what-if" into account, we'd be wasting trillions of dollars each year on hypothetical scenarios. This was the first time the spillway was EVER used

It's easy to say this after the fact, but infrastructure like that has a minimal budget for that sort of stuff. If we did this on every dam in the US, it would potentially amount to a billion dollars or more. At a time when the gover

I'm a developer at USPS; if you send me the tracking number I can try to pass this along to someone.

It's not just flowing over the top of the dam; the water is channeled through an area designed to handle overflow; but the channel is damaged. See pic: http://s4.reutersmedia.net/resources/r/?m=02&d=201702

I'm not sure I'd compare Snap with Twitter. Twitter has essentially flat-lined. Snap has only been monetized for a little over a year now and has at least demonstrated that they're capable of bringing in revenue, based on t

I know, that's also what makes it so difficult to deploy. You need to have dozens of them within a very small area. That essentially defeats the purpose of going wireless at all, since you'll need some kind of backhaul to those

Like he said, you still need to spend an insane amount of money to acquire spectrum. Furthermore, High freq spectrum doesn't go through trees or buildings so any obstruction then makes dozens of properties unserviceable. Unless you p

That only works because you're 1 person. If everyone in your town decided to do this your phone would be unusable. We have ~50 users on our unlicensed fixed wireless service and we've been running into numerous signal issues. Wi

How would that solve the symptoms? And why is that the cause? I think the actual issue is that there aren't enough top-talent individuals in the country already; meaning the real cause is actually our broken education system. Opening

I believe the proposed solution to the H1B issue was to simply increase the minimum wage for H1B's to $140k. If a company is bringing over top-talent that is irreplaceable; surely that salary is justified. Otherwise, they probably do

So how much were you paying him? (Last week?) there was an article about someone trying to double the H1B minimum wage to $140k; surely if this physicist is as important as you say he is, you were compensating him around that figure, no?

For those interested, here's the Marine Corps reading list. (Edit: that's actually already in the list of links you posted, missed it). There are a lot of good books on leadership; I'd stick to the Officer lists. http:&#x2

So what you're saying is, you want to hire people based on their gender and race rather than their skill set and experience.

Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned that particular incident; the rest of my points still warrant a higher police presence.

I used to go to Temple in Philadelphia and the amount of crime that took place on or near campus definitely warranted its own police department. North Philadelphia isn't the safest place to begin with, but 28,000+ college students fres
