Airline flights, and international travel generally, is _incredibly cheap_ compared to basically all human history. Adding in just a little more cost for a measurable, significant safety benefit seems like an obvious choice.

However the costs of renewable tech is coming down - at some point it's just a better business decision to switch off oil.

While the parent is being a bit crass, there is a valuable underlying point. Ignoring pain is akin to ignoring the "check engine light". We (as a society) should really try to figure out the root causes AND (not or) find more targ

Most of the time the rocket isn't firing - you have a few minutes of burn to change your delta v, then you just gotta sit and wait before decelerating into orbit (or landing). Assuming the cart was attached to a powered cable you could

If you feel you're doing all three of those categories reasonably well, and there just are no open roles to advance in your company, what do you do? Does an MBA help you "level up" in the eyes of HR etc.?

Also love the Rev - but rumor is it uses electricity to ebrake below 5mph. I generally just put my foot down at that point to come to a stop (or use the mechanical brake)

You generally have to offer the same benefits to everyone in a company (at least in MA). The easiest way to do that is to offer "PTO" as a bucket to everyone. The new "cool" way to do it is to have "unlimited PTO&qu

We could put it down in empty mine shafts... or build entire mountain tops out of it!

That's likely because your Google profile points HN threads as relevant / what you're searching for. Try using DDG for a less biased search result.

"clearer pedestrian paths" seems like a really bad trade-off for putting public infrastructure on private property (and all the right of way / access issues involved). I wonder if, since the wiring is clearly there, something

There are a number of ways to handle "cheating" - greatly increased insurance and license expense for CDL drivers would probably cut down on most systemic fraud.

Many, if not all medium to large companies do in fact pull a limited credit report as part of the screening process. Also, there is far more regulation on mortgages these days. E.g. I can get a massive home loan from a banker I've neve

What do you use for indoor air testing? I'm generally curious about my indoor vs outdoor air quality living in a city.

You've described how I feel about this in such a succinct yet expressive way. I find it hard to communicate to ${NON_PROGRAMMERS} the difference between highly skilled software folks, average skilled, and the huge bulk of copy+paste wa

I don't understand the protests. I would expect educating Saudi youth in exceptionally liberal institutions like universities in the Northeast to have a net liberalizing effect on the Saudi government and culture long term. Is this not

Great experience for a tech nerd vs great experience for your average desk jockey. Nobody is stopping us from making new protocols, continuing to use IRC, etc. The reality is software is no longer a niche thing - its just another part of ma

This is bad advice. If you convert the timezone you're now taking on the risk that your conversion was incorrect. You also lose the valuable information of the source time zone. UTC isn't perfect and is _far_ from the only viable

Is there a good site or db that let's your compare cars without or with minimal LCD screens? I vastly prefer analog gagues and minimal b/w digital displaces for things like radio.

"Data Analyst" is often programmer lite. If you've been doing that work for a few years you could easily transition into a full time SWE role. If you really need a confidence boost and/or some on-trend training, consider

Thanks for that link - an interesting set of ideas! Do you have any insight if these proposed solutions have gone through further testing/green lighting? Could a power plant solution like this be used for terrestrial remote research fa

From my experience, "Solutions Architects" are closer to "Sales Engineering" vs pure software roles. YMMV.

Is there a reason to start this new model name vs simply calling it the 2020 "eGolf"? Is the eGolf basically a hack design and the ID3 a true, ground-up electric design?

Formula 1 and most high-level motor racing is similar. Drivers get lots of fame but it is truly a team sport.

Why is this fundamentally considered bad? If the majority of residents in a given area want to keep the zoning as-is, why do you (or I) have any right to force them to change? I personally don't mind living in multi-story apartment bui

I wonder if attaching a tracking bracelet (just to be sure the kid is not actually getting abducted) and intentionally "losing" the child might provide a useful formative experience without much risk.
