The best counterculture now is in biology. As far as I can tell, biohackers are all adventurous young people, incredibly athletic, and they’re all traveling the world. If you reflect on a creator's willingness to work outside of polite so

I was not replying to the point about lowering the bar due to market demand. Though, now that I think about it, if you were a very bright engineer, would you go into a lackluster career in civil that would start out at $45k and only find sm

Are you on the ethics review board? Or can one speak frankly here about engineering? You do not need a degree to be an EIT. You do not need to have studied engineering to be a PE. The CAD tech who assists in design (to the review board:"so

Refusing to use one's phone to access information during a conversation is not necessarily Luddite (not that you said it was). In modern architecture after the boisterous 1920's when design was seeking to incorporate the concept of the mach

For the record, I wouldn't say as a single declarative that "authority is an illusion"...I suggested that one accepts that it is. There is a preponderance of evidence demonstrating that we are quite capable of accepting things that aren't t

Clearly, my authority alone was not enough to get them to do what I wanted. If you want to learn how to manage people, accept that authority is an illusion. If you realize people do what you'd like not because of your position but because

Dear god, please let me have the freedom to determine what degree of security I need on a site. If you restrict my password options in anyway I will use your site less.

I know nothing about pianos so I just want to clarify the metaphor of the car without an oil change. I just rebuilt the engine in my truck. A neglected engine does not spell the end for a vehicle - but it seems to be that that is in fact th

Regarding your opening line: leave it to a mathematician to forgo units. I assume you meant $0.02. :) - a sarcastic engineer.

I am thinking of instances where a landlord's interest are aligned with tenants generally. For instance, fighting neighborhoods who use political connections to oppose rental development in central city neighborhoods ("mini dorms"). Discrim
