It's interesting to speculate about what a ticket might cost and what would be worth it to you. Instead of a non-stop almost 10 hour flight to west coast to London at $1,000 (9:20 hours), where my company gives me an extra $500 for an

What are the labor laws that discourage E-195's in the US? Construction is different than use, I don't see how there could be labor laws affecting that. It's just a jet? There were complicated tariffs and counter tariffs. Eve

After the pandemic is over, there will still be some people that need to travel from the US to Europe or US to Japan semifrequently and want a much shorter trip and can pay (business trips). Of course everyone wants shorter trips on the rea

The ability to buy other hardware devices to avoid one company's control is not a real solution. Besides that, all the major vendors are trying to push you to buy things in their controlled gardens/app stores. Instead of buying mo

Work can't just be optional (as part of a trade off for food etc) because a lot of society in the US at least thinks it's a moral problem to just give people food, clothing, shelter even if we are better off avoiding starving peop

Only going to recess on Fridays, if you have been good all week, that's kind of stupid and unbelievable. It's not the experience of having kids in the last 20 years, at least in the US.

Interesting discussions here about the actual costs and value of finding the bugs that enable these problems. There's basically very little cost to the companies in most cases that have vulnerabilities. It's absolutely crucial, in

Actually a lot of things get proved first for narrower domains (because it can be easier to prove,) and then get generalized to larger sets and maybe get really general! eventually. This was a great insight one of my college profs gave me.

Oracle is a fun choice. How about Circle-k corporation? Maybe Monsanto/Bayer or Halliburton?

Summary - moved to join a nearby friendly native American tribe, already suggested by others. There are endless different stories about the lost colony. This explanation sounds simple and compelling (they moved in with a friendly tribe, the

Good advice in other comments. If you are looking two years out you have a lot of time to get experience. The summary here is write code, learn about some existing open source projects, try to make some contributions, and work on your Engli

Perhaps you aren't familiar with the US separation of powers between the states and the federal government. In the US, just like we have federal food inspectors (and some statewide ones too), a federal dept. of health, federal standard

The interesting summary is they decided after using neutron tomography to scan the "too expensive and fragile to disassemble" microscopes that he was just really great at grinding them. Still uncertain is if he used some unusual v

Yes, how can it not be obvious? Look at our continual failure to make even simple plans for cv19 and execute them nationally? It's partly the president's fault but we have multiple failures, and the situation makes clear our under

I'm trying to think about this in the larger context. By getting more money for a segment of the mail, they could be helping overall. But it's really late in terms of the election. There's no discussion about any adjustments

I only know about Seattle where they were not paying for no work in the middle of the day. They had a last 2 mile transit van that would take you from your house to the P&R and back for a while. It was because the park and ride was fill

Hmm, what does this really mean? Separate from the apparent active destruction or reduction of usps capacity by removing machines from sorting and ceasing overtime leading to slowdowns in delivery, this could be fine? Why not increase all p

Those companies were not financed by taxpayers. Taxpayers bought some of their stuff, like flights to the space station from space x. Notice that not only did Boeing charge significantly more for human flights to space than spaceX, almost 5

Well, they don't run them all day because of the cost of the use of the trains and the cost of the crews. The crews can't be paid all day to do nothing.

Why don't you run your old system in a vm running in a new system? That is standard practice at some places. Was there special hardware, not just say usb ports?

Try to think of more product uses. Explain why it's different than 100 other browsers running in maybe headless mode. Work hard to get a 'launch customer' that might be free but that illustrates what you can provide.

Urgh, terminology! Digital twin apparently means the same as a test mock. If you test your app's db interactions with a mock of a database, then you don't need an instance of that db always available, among other things.
