Being extroverted is not a useful skill. Communicating well when necessary is. Extroverts are not necessairily "good at communication" by nature. I employ a very very introverted individual. When he comes to my desk, one can be ab

A couple of reasons I can see, just my opinion * My buddies in trade-based fields say they are working harder than ever, as their backlog has only increased in size * Less scrutiny when working from home, more fooling around, less work * Fe

Huh? Free national press time for tesla for a few thousand bucks of dev time send like a good deal, no? The fact we’re sitting here talking snot it pretty much proves that….

High end restaurants have switched to ipads, but even that misses the mark: it’s bulkk, time consuming, and waaaaay overpowered/priced. Really all that’s needed is an ARM chip from 10 years ago mated to a display of this era.

We are 100% convinced that if you want to save time on development, you need to be using a component based framework for internal applications, where exact looks aren’t as important as functionality. PrimeFaces provides an incredible amount

That's how they create the salt caverns in fact: they pump hot water below impermeable limestone formations that were created when Kansas was an ocean 290 million years ago during the the Permian period. They use seismographs to watch

We export power all over the Southwest Power Pool actually! SPP even trades with ERCOT when we can and help them out if they're short. Kansas is quite green, with about 65% coming from renewables (Mainly wind, then nuclear), but we&#x2

We do have a ton of salt caverns actually, many centrally located (Hutchison, Ks if you’re interested. Great air and space museum there too oddly enough)

Are we buying 0 gas from Russia so we can stop funding their war machine? Imho a total ban of imports is needed.

I think the main reason is that not everybody has the geography conducive for pumped Hydro. Here in Kansas we have a ton of wind energy production and we’re lucky enough to have a nuclear reactor as well. It’d really be nice to store that,

We easily push 1 million messages per second with a 512m heap and two cpu cores, and 80m of heap to applications... so I'm not sure what about that is "heavy" or "unsuited" but... I mean ok. We also spent 0 time try

Floods are as natural as rain, wildfires, and erosion. Entire species depend on these. A good example is how we almost managed to destroy all of the sandbars on the Colorado river because we were "controlling flooding", but it too

better question: why does this device even need a cloud? Why does a Roomba need a cloud? Why does a smart lightswitch, a doorbell, or any other of these devices need a cloud? There is no reason. It's dumb. Sync over wifi to your comput

You think Apple would approach this with a little bit of acceptance/humility given all the greenwashing marketing BS they spew. This change is a good thing for them, the environment, manufacturers, and consumers. And not to mention, th

not sure "making in pretty" and giving in a UI refresh every 5 weeks when the latest version of whatever js framework is released is really in the budget.

It's absurd. People are forced into them if they want to buy a house, and part of the agreement is if you sell the house, you can only sell it to a person that agrees to sign. It _should_ be illegal, especially given the racist history

Usually that "it's an eyesore" or some other BS. That's the entire reason the Tesla solar roof has a market share, is that it "looks like" a normal roof without giant boxes on top of a house. again, I think the

Home Owners Associations already block solar, unfortunately I give this a 0% chance of getting approved in any neighborhood that has one :( EDIT: ==== Don't shoot the messenger. I don't agree with it either.
