Well, for a while, the USA was probably THE premier country for electronics and IT. As a natural result, companies offer top dollar for top talent. Now days, companies offer top dollar for Junior-level AI talent. And you see where that&#x27

Single municipality? No. Learn what the Wonderlic score is and how it was used in the 80s and 90s. Police departments used to have an IQ cap of 110 (about 27 on the Wonderlic score scale) and would not hire applicants with higher Wonderlic

Police already can't do their job because we select for sub-90 IQ cops. Giving idiot cops abusable tools is PURE AND UTTER STUPIDITY. If you think otherwise, I can't wait for those same idiots to kick in your door despite you havi

"I just don't buy it." Literally there are ARRESTS AND CHARGES against these cops and you 'just don't buy it.' Do you see what's wrong with your statement? You're being 100% disingenuous.

There are actual induction units for woks now. They're large but they really get almost the whole wok really hot really fast! I'm assuming there are multiple induction loops inside the unit to be able to make that happen given how

No, I want a Myst or Riven game where I'm actually walking around the world. The VR support/remake pales in capability versus what I've seen done with actual VR games, and Myst could easily pull that off if they'd just l

Myst has severely overlooked a platform that has recently made some pretty decent strides - VR. I have a Kat Walk C2 and a game like Myst in VR with that VR rig would be absolutely goddamned insane. Myst ruled because you felt like you were

Not only is it opening up but several other large scale projects are already being considered in the USA, including one in Atolia, California that I have been privileged enough to personally visit. Watch the markets for the metals most used

"Apple is doing it right, simple high level statements." Apple does this to most any company that ends up with any of its former employees. It's basically expected. Apple is being the bully.

I read it all and even what is stated is mostly wrong UNTIL THE EXACT UNIT IS SPECIFIED. And I'd know because I have to work with this IN ORBIT. I've had this conversation a dozen times in meetings with military and government.

"no phase transitions from -40C to 80C." Well that's fine for terrestrial use but aerospace needs that range to be expanded a little in both directions, otherwise it won't be much of a holy grail if it won't cover t

Yup. I did the exact same thing, except I split a cast iron pan, and shattered the induction cooktop.

But now comes the real question - will the MUDs be programmed in something sane? The last MUD/MUCK I was on was done in RPN-style code. That was a headache to code various plugins and options.

"there's no such thing as a closed loop system" That's not incorrect though; you're still needing to shed the heat energy SOMEWHERE. Thermodynamics alone dictates that basic fact. You may not waste the cooling solut

For example, if you used PLA you'd get a stiffer, more mechanically-rigid structure in the zipped-up state. If you used TPU, you'd get a more flexible and elastic structure. I'd want PLA for tent seams and TPU for the door zi
