The capitalist answer is they don't have any right to your labor. They purchase your labor with the wages that they pay you. You are free to not accept any opportunity offered, and either party can terminate it at any time for any (leg

Could you put a pressure sensor on the pad and only power on the coils directly underneath the object? I assume with software you could selectively turn on/off areas of the mat to manage the heat problems that come with multiple coils

If 4 fail and one grows by 10X you will have 10K. It seems that your goal should be turning 5K into 10K over 5 years which seems doable. Since the amount of money you're dealing with is fairly small, I would suggest putting your energy

Your thought process is backwards. Instead of starting with a technology you want to learn, start with a problem that you have. Then do research on tech that can solve your problem and you will learn by solving the problem you have. Most te

If there is anything you should learn from this article, it's that you should hire a PR team if you're a billionaire. Why would anyone want to be a business partner with him after reading this?

AWS is IMO the best vendor if you are looking to for HIPAA compliant cloud computing. Our bills are higher than they would be for a non-medical application, but nothing astronomical. Programmer time is still way more expensive.
