Zionism is the belief that Jews have a right to their indigenous homeland. Your Western leftist ideology have twisted the definition to your own agenda.

The author asks, "So... do you need a telescope?" then politely and politically answers the question. I, however, looking at the side-by-side comparison, would answer, "hell yes."

I worked at a software company for shipping terminals. One release, we changed the color of a snowflake icon for better colorblind accessibility. The union said it was brand new software and the terminal had to do an emergency shutdown fo

The disconnect between academia and private is real and often bizarre. I have a good friend that's a recruiter for a top 20 flagship research university in the US. Her line is always, "We're education. We don't do thin

This is going to be very hard to enforce on a Federal level, let alone pass. Companies are going to play shell games with the titles, responsibilities, and org structure just enough. There might also be 1st Amendment issues, too. The requ

Recent events isn't going to change decades of stigma and reputation. People aren't saying, "Oh cool, they purged the low performers. I'll go work for the government!"

I don’t know if you’re US-based or not but in the US, government work has the stigma of attracting the bottom of the barrel. It is nearly impossible to get fired for performance reasons. Combine low pay and high job security, and you’re no

Case in point, the AMS. The Bambu system is so clean. It sits on top of the printer even if you don't have an enclosure. The Prusa system requires you to lay the spools out on runners on the table, taking up a ton of desk space.

I got into 3D printing a year ago and decided on the Bambu. I started with a P1P to see if I'd like it, got an AMS, got an enclosure in the span of about 9 months. Would I have saved money if I got all of that at once? Of course. B

Yes. Interchangeable lenses. ILC just isn't as common in the common vocabulary as SLRs which has been used for decades. Plus, I just have a habit of using the old technology acronym instead of the new one. Like SSL.

The standalone camera market outside of SLRs is too small to make significant impact on Kodak's bottom line. There's also substantial hardware manufacturing investment that they can't afford to make. Maybe they partner with

> Big tech companies like Apple are more meritocratic and generally offer smart people much better deals. It’s mindblowing how big of a gap this is for these non-tech companies. I work for a company that sold to PE. The owners walked a

Only job searching through sites like LinkedIn and Indeed are just a huge waste of time. They're going to get at the very least, hundreds of applicants. Thousands if you're advertising for remote. This is all a numbers game. Pe

This is not limited to Canonical. This is happening across the board because it's a buyer's market for labor. The game is stacked against job applicants. A posting on LinkedIn will attract hundreds of applicants, and as recruite

I was just about to comment on Asian countries and mobility. If you do academics only, there's also the phenomenon where getting into the right Kindergarten-level school determines your entire school career. In many countries, your cur

The Board is a disgrace. For all his fault, Gelsinger had Intel at least on a path back, yes, it's going to take a lot of money because the past two decades have been missed opportunities. And not only did the Board not do their prope

Tron in 1982 also got a PG rating. Quite controversial in my mother's circle of parenting friends. "How can Disney release a PG movie like that?" said one parent.

Neither is your response in good faith. Reconciliation is common practice and has happened for decades. Why are you now pointing it as a Democrat vs Republican issue?

This is a hard question to answer, but I'll try to boil it down to this specific firearm. Many handguns, like all Glocks and many Sigs, these days are "striker fired," meaning there's an internal hammer that strikes the

I looked at solar and battery set up for an off-grid RV system about 3 years ago and revisited again just a few weeks ago. There's been some impressive strides in terms of wattage produced and battery AH. It's still a long, long
