1500 employees, 1/3rd quit. Supposedly, many of those who quit were working less than 20 hours a week, previously a minimum of 5 hours a week was required. At that rate it would take 8 part time employees to work 40 hours...

There's a movement growing to build effectively a 9' gravel road around Santa Rosa as a fire moat of last defense. It would be paid out of funds given from the recent fire there. If you zoom in on tiny communities up in the foothi

The two really standout things for me are, 1) they did this on an outdoor track/around campus, not in the lab and 2) they did the entire 5K on a single battery charge. It looks like a guy was controlling the direction using an RC unit,

Militarization of the Police happened, strangely enough, primarily during the Clinton Administration in the mid-1990s. Clinton shut down a lot of military bases, and shrunk the military overall as part of wrapping up the cold war with Russi

Agree, I've only seen a handful of recruiter spam that don't explicitly call out 100% remote work. Smaller companies are definitely using this as a lever to siphon off talent from larger, more traditional workplaces.

As a teenager making $5.50 and later a whopping $5.75/hr working in retail, I never bought a domain or hosting, as they were outside of my budget. At the time (late 90s) domains were $14.95 on sale, and regularly $19.95. It wasn't

I was really surprised to find out, as an american, standing with feet on the ground in Manila, near age 30, having grown up in the US and gone to public schools, that the Philippines had been a US Territory off and on, on par with Puerto R

Most of the wind is 4-12 miles offshore, as the wind rolls down the coast it's blocked by the mountains that run along the coast. At 25 miless offshore you get into mesoscale wind patterns which are extremely stable and aren't imp

I ended up buying a 4 disk synology NAS unit/appliance for about $400 a couple of years ago. It's been remarkably reliable, and has a built-in feature to backup to Glacier, although there's third party tools for most any onli

Screeching corner rails are solved by an automated rail greasing system. All train systems have these. If the rails are screeching, open a ticket with the local city system and have them fix the rail greasing system. Muni here was shut down

We ran a mumble server for a 3,500 user, paid/paying, video game server community (Battlefield 3, circa 2010). We typically had 200+ users on, with 30-50 users per channel (three servers, two channels per server) plus a handful of regu

Microsoft buying Nokia had nothing to do with saving the company. Arguably, buying Nokia and running it into the ground was an expensive gamble to push Windows 8 Mobile + Windows 8 desktop at any cost. Which was already failing before the a

On page 42 they talk about two different mooring systems for buoys up to 6000m in depth. Average ocean depth is approx 3000m. Marine electronics are considerably more robust than you give them credit. All my consumer grade electronics on my

Radar on an oceanic buoy is probably more efficient. Ocean buoys are giant metal spheres with some concrete ballast to add stability, attached via steel cable to an old train freight car used as an anchor. You can throw a couple hundred wat

What about the airplane given in the original example, the F-100, whose design predated the integrated circuit by something like a decade? Presumably control software improves stability, but otherwise the aircraft behaves in a predictable m

Looking at the current state of open source software like ardupilot, and the fact that we've had supersonic jet fighters since the 1950s (F-100 Super Sabre) I don't think the control software is going to be a major bottleneck. If

China's DF-21/DF-26, assuming they work half as good as they're claiming, will likely largely nullify the advantages of carrier strike groups. Being able to sink any hostile warship within 2000 miles of the Spratly Islands is

China has been testing their recently-deployed DF-21 and DF-26 "aircraft-carrier killer" missiles. They're basically non-nuclear ICBMs that come straight down, from above, a battleship, dead center, at Mach 2+. It's basi
