One of my first jobs I worked in a government agency that still had Tektronix 4054 series used for capturing paper street maps point by point into a GIS via a large digitizer and puck that sat next to the system. These models had the dynami

I agree, it's a huge HR risk. It used to be common with British companies sending people abroad. I can't imagine they still do it today.

Denmark loves their 'wet' bathrooms in hotels, no shower door and a drain in the center of the room. I spent a lot of time in CPH and would stay at the Marriott because it was one of the few with American style bathrooms.

Why? Almost all two seater vehicles sold in the US are sports cars and trucks for a reason. The demand for two seat subcompacts is very low and previous attempts to sell them have been unsuccessful. The Smart car was available in both ICE a

None of this is new. The article states that CBP got authorization to track license plates in 2017 and concerns about law enforcement use of ALPR date back to at least 2010. The ACLU sued the LAPD in 2013 on ALPR.

Rather than just rage at the automobile industry and other drivers for creating this problem, I bought a pair of yellow tinted night driving glasses and now it doesn't bug me as much. They don't solve the problem completely but th

No successful company is issuing 40 million shares to new investors from a base of 10 million. Why would investors or founders sign off on that level of dilution? And ultimately, if your product is the torment nexus, nobody is going to make

Yes, it's completely backwards really. In most successful companies, a VC's holdings are likely to decrease over time, not increase, as the company raises more money and existing investors are diluted. And investors are (in genera

Exactly. If the last decade has shown us anything, consumers will always opt for the convenience features and cost far ahead of privacy concerns. I can't think of many successful consumer products with privacy as their key selling poin

Apple just hasn't been able to get traction with gaming on Apple TV. Gaming on Apple TV is so small I couldn't even find an analyst report breaking down the market size. I don't think new graphics hardware solves the problem.

Great read. It's a reminder of the costs of building custom game engines in smaller studios. I really enjoyed Avalanche's Mad Max game, and Generation Zero was an interesting idea if imperfectly executed.

They are not Hyundai employees. Hyundai subcontracted the work out, and the subcontractors failed to file for work visas. The problem is Hyundai chose their subcontractors very poorly.

Yes, they all lacked work visas. Allegedly Hyundai subcontracted out the work to third parties who didn't bother to get work visas for their employees. Maybe Korean companies are used to getting away with that kind of thing? Seems fair
