Open to suggestions. Keep in mind I've worked on Aircraft control systems and have a very strong opinion on reliability and crew management. I also note that the budget isn't infinite nor do these aircraft like running electron ap

I've never really gotten this criticism. Science has worked on "here be dragons" ever since it became a "thing". Neutrinos took like 40 years to discover after experiments earlier showed that either all of modern pa

I've never worked directly for Amazon, but for a consultancy that was an AWS Partner. I got an invite to a team skip level meeting once, and holy shit I could not believe the asshole and bullshit crap those seniors were tossing at each

It's super interesting to read these accounts. I have my doubts that Aphatasia is real for 99% of people who claim to have it and its a language issue. What is imagination if not seeing the thing in your head. Do people think others LI
