Ah, yes. I double counted the chip and the board for some reason.

The takeaway for me is that it costs roughly $15-20 of hardware parts to have a stand-alone status indicator. That's pretty cheap, but not "no brainer" cheap. I start asking myself what are the status indicators we really nee

Can you provide an estimate of total build cost / employee? It's a nice looking space, but likely only attainable for high margin industries like software engineering.

I wouldn't put it quite so starkly as "completely... wrong". It was a jumbled time for the movements and sects of Protestantism. Perfectionism was a valid strain of Methodism, see Wesley's sermon: http://www.u

Ok, that article linked was brilliant. It points out all the hypocrisy of being too analytical about pricing. The real question is how can your customers pay for it.

No, it would just take some more creativity on the part of the doctor/clinic/hospital. Perhaps in the form of "pro bono" work where they waive the standard fees for their work.

Cost us $5,500 with "decent" insurance (fortune 200 company, $3k deductible, 20% after that) for my wife to have our first (normal delivery) here in the US of A. God bless America.... 'cause it needs it.

I agree with what you're trying to express, and was the biggest "be careful not to overdo this". Getting outside your tribe is really healthy and good. I'd phrase it like this: "find the people who are best in the w

D-wave is not attempting to build a bit-by-bit quantum computer in the traditional sense that the technologies mentioned in the article are building.

It's great on windows. Maybe mac's not their main focus, as it's less than 10% of market share.

The problem with a checklist is it's _highly_ nation and state dependent. That said, in the US, generally: 1) Last will and testament: what to do with your stuff when you die 2) Living will: what medical treatment you desire while unab

The answer depends a lot on the industry/ product. But in general: - Communicate, communicate, communicate. Give status updates. Ask for status updates. Get information from customers to your development team. Give updates from your de

Everything was pretty standard until I got to the price. This robot is a nice improvement, but there's already many good collaborative robots (i.e. http://preciseautomation.com/PF400.html ). But if they can actually hit

I'd state it with a bit more nuance. From my experience in physics: You can read a paper in 15-30 minutes and get the main points and contributions. For good papers, you can spend multiple days to really understand the paper. And for r

That link doesn't provide any facts to back up your claim. As someone who has worked in the food industry, tipping is definitely correlated with performance (among a couple other obvious factors).

You said "A better comparison would be 30-years-olds of today versus 30-year-olds (whether the 30-year-old has or goes on to have children or not) of the past." This is exactly what they did and what the data shows. 50% of kids to

You must be exaggerating or living in New York/San Fran. Here in the midwest is is very reasonable for a top 20% income for 30 yr old age bracket to have only one parent work. If you're top 1% you can definitely afford a house in

While I appreciate you pointing out a potential source of sampling error, the data accounts for this. See: https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/BN-RD331_CHETTY_1...

Microsoft owns my "employee" identity thru office 365. I don't love them owning my "job-searching" identity too. Seems like the most valuable service they have to offer is to corporations. "Want to know how oft

Not OP, but here's some extra input (from an engineers, not quality persons standpoint). Standard ISO9000 requires approval process for all design outputs. Anything changed after approval would need to be "red-lined" and even

I think you've answered your question, at least for now. Only disadvantage of #3 is if it's not fine-grained enough. You know you need _at least_ a macro level split (New umbrella parent company (that nobody really knows/care

bull. You're a human being. A CEO is a human being. A software engineer is a human being. The type of thinking you just espoused leads to sweatshops, environmental destruction, and corporate fraud. We all have a responsibility to show

And the people who claimed such things were also the ones who in 1900 said there would be no more multi-national wars. Will blockchain be a big deal? Maybe. Will it disrupt civilization as we know it. No.
