Ugh, Zipcar. The company whose management demanded a new CRM integration go live on a Friday before a holiday weekend, and didn’t coordinate with support team. Naturally, something messed up because the project was rushed out the door, stra

You can read Tesla's seminar notes and some personal logs at Columbia University. The idea of "genius" is fungible, but he clearly had the math skills to solve problems he was interested in. His design for the three phase gen

A debris field of sufficient size is also noisy. MIRVs can have a couple decoy warheads whose job it is is to just release debris to create radar noise.

Such a system can never be 100% effective. Enemy launches warheads single file (one behind another at a specific distance) towards a target. Your defense system sends up a missile to destroy that warhead, effectively. Now you have a smoke s

> I hate this dystopia you people envision When you refer to people that don’t make the same choices as you as an “other”, do you find it surprising when you and them want the same things, but in different ways? And that you can _both_ a

China has a huge wealth gap like in the US, yes, but _everyone_, even peasant farmers, can afford health care and real food that isn’t McDonalds. The lowest class materially knows their life is improving, year over year, so they don’t have

Wow! So you're saying this guy I met has a real truffle business now, but might have had to go through this con you speak of? And then shared this information with us and I think it's legit?

I have limited experience with recruiters, but generally they often are nice, polite, want to help, then ask me the same question three times over a 30 minute period: "So, I know you asked for X as base compensation preference, but wha

Google switched to finance numbers-based management ages ago. This decision, while unpopular, is money driven, and they think it will make them money. Edit: I, too, use the ratio of likes/dislikes to make a decision about spending time

Agree, there’s plenty to factor into the “build a home” equation. The billion or two living in these climates also have to deal with serious bug-borne diseases. How do we get to cheap, sustainable building materials that also consider bugs
