If I had the money, why wouldn't I want to fly first class and receive all the perks it entails? Hot towel? Don't mind if I do. Complimentary mimosa? Yes, please. I certainly can understand why some people choose to spend their mo

Huh? That is as simple as not installing any games on your computer, using GPUs like Quadros if you do CAD, and using quality components that don't have 1000 RGB LEDS all over them. This is not impossible to do.

All it takes is just one person in the first spot in her listing of jobs on her resume to fail to properly vet her. Once you start having job experience, people don't look as hard at your resume. Nobody wants to do all the legwork veri

In my college town, before Uber, you had three choices getting home: - Taking the bus which didn't run anytime after 10pm - Calling a friend which really only worked when you planned ahead - Calling the local taxi service which was lim

It really depends on the circle of people that are at parties in the US. I've been the DD and have been at parties where there is at least one DD. I think there was a general consensus not to bother or pressure the guy DDing. All the f

If they were just looking at a 30yo woman with a safe driving record, did they account for things like property crimes committed in the poorer neighborhoods? If I'm more likely to live in a poorer urban neighborhood, I'm probably

They are probably very specific search terms that are repeated in the documents and might be unique enough to show up in any documents created by someone plagiarizing the Waymo docs. The fact that 31,000 other documents also contain these p

That's a neat way to do it without opening the device but it might be easier just to crack it open, find the chip and look for communications to either the LCD or even better, an LCD driver chip. Translate using an arduino whatever com

There is plenty of analog work in the RF engineering careers. I mostly do digital but most of my coworkers started out and currently work on analog boards. Although we are moving a lot of our stuff to SDR so the RF board in the product is j

The car sharing won't cover everyone's needs and some people will stick to keeping their own car. I'd imagine people living in urban areas are more likely to use a car sharing service since it's uneconomical to own a car

The fine was for walking through a park that closes after 10pm. They use this to prevent people from sleeping in the park at night or doing other things like prostitution and drug use in the cover of darkness. There was a city park across f

Why isn't the NYPD and DMV using the driver's license number for ID? It's a unique number and can help avoid situations like this. I would understand the confusion when the perpetrator of the crime doesn't have a license

It took me nearly all of my college career to finally figure out how to actually be successful in my studies. I never had to work hard in high school to pass my classes (I think because my teachers held my hand a bit too much). I took that
