For what it's worth (to the initial quotes posted) there are plenty of options in the FAR and on existing contract vehicles to hire people with particular sets of skills to achieve a general goal / purpose of the organization &quo

In bullet 1, you say that you were heartbroken to see a citation in a defense project. In bullet 2, you say that classification is the antithesis of science because projects are classified (read: not published) But in Bullet 1, somebody cit

> So, the question is: What’s next? How do leaders in government think about and organize innovation in a way that makes a difference? The answer here for me is to create a culture of experimentation and hypothesis testing whose results

Curious - do you allow them to track your browsing history and/or are you logged in or do you block and stay anonymous-ish? I’m in the latter camp and wondering if their inferences are just getting better if they have more of your data

Yeah this is not something that I’ve ever heard referenced but I’m not totally fluent. Also I doubt that the cold and wind part of uitwaaien as described by this non-native speaker is relevant vs. the fact that NL is just often cold and win

Didn't see it listed as an option here, but are the travel-via-ICBM options that SpaceX has been touting going to actually be cleaner options than burning jet-fuel? If you remove the cruise speed requirements for longer-haul flights an

Yes, I see the difference. My purpose with this comment was to illustrate that Uber's primary complaints appear to be about the Process, and not the request. "Last minute X" etc. While a good process is important, I was holdi

Yeah - checking on the overall policies for LADOT as well and their data API but only so deep you can go when it’s not your day job haha. Appreciate the discussion!

Agreed, and I don’t necessarily agree with the real-time requirement as the best way to regulate. That said, while the data providing burden is certainly more than the liquor store must provide, it doesn’t seem like they’ve delayed permitti

This article is positioned like Uber / Jump can argue the matter and/or have leverage. Additional comments here act like Uber should be able to operate as they want. They do not and cannot. In order to operate legally as a busines

I don't think the ACLU would have a problem with the FBI going to the secretary of state with a picture of someone from a security tape committing a crime. If the FBI has entered into a data sharing agreement around drivers license pho

While you might be right, is it not also possible that they delivered some key capabilities that were unique (autonomous carrier landing!?) to reach the strike objective, realized it wouldn't meet all of them so pivoted to ISR (of whic

Random, but I wonder why they went with the MQ designation instead of KQ for this.

Floating, remote operating bases that can move to provide persistent support are still pretty important if you want to hold territory. Long-range missiles can hit an objective, but I'm not sure we really have long-loiter-capable assets

Your assumption here is that actual conflict with a modern nation using conventional weaponry is possible, perhaps the majority of conflicts we have and/or the conflict we should prepare for, and will last more than the flight time of

Right, but the ACLU article nor the Register summary do not indicate the FBI is using public video sources for this. The possibility is certainly there for abuse, but we'll have to wait for the lawsuit results to see if it is different

The ACLU does not state that the FBI is doing this. They are suing to determine what policies the government has in place around facial recognition to determine whether they are allowed under current policy to do what you’re talking about.

I guess “they have your old drivers license photo” is technically an America-wide surveillance system? Would you not want a law enforcement body to be able to query against photos legally obtained? Now, if they’re running additional program

Because I have kids (they're smaller, under 7) I can't really risk getting shafted at an AirBnB. Our experiences were so up and down that I rarely look to the site anymore for options. Suite hotels are prevalent, and work great fo

At what point are regulators going to start denying these bids on anti-trust grounds? I suppose there might be enough players in the "wearables" space but I'd imagine this purchase could potentially be denied because of the r

Quite right. As my post mentioned quite explicitly the issue here is about perception, not about the reality. Second, it's difficult to talk about compare national fire levels when you're talking about localized forest fires and t

Agreed - so interesting to see which words now have meanings tied to certain contexts in different languages (well, mostly English probably since it makes little sense at times!) over time. It was an interesting exploration.

There is nothing wrong with it in principle and I agree with your sentiment. That said, a broader issue manifests when the following perceptions occur alongside your purchase: 1. Public perceives the rich do not pay enough taxes and have co

This is a totally pedantic meta comment but I think you mean motive here, not Motif. In English, motif typically means more like a design pattern or theme, which is confusing since it’s so similar to motief in Nederlands.

Just a quick gut-check: are we sure this is working well with accounting firms? They're all merging again post-Arthur-Anderson scandal with their services consulting businesses and while there may be controls and training and they&#x27
