I am actually not opposed to the "CD you have to buy" policy. If I was hospital network admin I would not want people just plugging in random usb sticks into my network.

I don't think you could build a cable that has the tensile strength to hold a payload spinning at 27+ km/s. Even if it was made of carbon fiber I think it would have to be crazy thick and massive. Probably orders of magnitude heav

I don't understand why we don't just make the minimum H-1B visa salary 130k-150k. If it true that there are no other candidates that have the skills you need in the entire country then surely that skill set is worth a solid six fi

I worked in computer repair in college and at least back then I thought that Dell had some of the best customer support in the industry. I have only interacted with them a few times since but I have had no problems.

Is that even a good estimate for people living in the city at the time? I don't think so, maybe for people in the immediate vicinity.

I recommend a 1990's era Honda Civic Del Sol. It's a great car and uses almost all the same parts as the Civic's and Accords of the era. It's a little 2 door sports car with a removable hard top, and the manual transmiss

I have a question about this. I just bought a new jeep wrangler unlimited and a coworker recommended that I remove the spare wheel on the back of the jeep and store it in the cargo space. He said that in the advent of a rear-end collision

Wow. I have read a bunch of really good articles on nautil.us that I discovered through HN. I have been thinking of getting the 2 year digital/print subscription to support the type of journalism I want to see. But um... this article i

The other commenter is right. The government can deny a clearance for more or less any reason they choose. With that being said I did laugh and read the news articles anyway. Never caused me any problems but who knows maybe this comment wil

I would be careful also if you think you might need to get a clearance in the future. I was in college during the initial Wikileaks Manning dump and I remember getting a email from the DoD forwarded through the Physics department that viewi

Another great plane that has stood the test of time and is worth mentioning is the B-52. Over 60 years old and still being used extensively. One particular B-52 was piloted by a grandfather, father and finally son. What's more the B-52

This is what piss me off about this article. They don't mention that this has been done before and the commission never acted on it. Why? Because it does not fit with the story that there is a huge gulf opening up between the us and Eu

If you are interested in woodworking I highly recommend that you check out Matthias Wandel's other videos. His channel is one of the best, if not the best woodworking channel on youtube.

Could you explain why you think his two analogies are not appropriate? You simply state it as a fact and then go on to give two analogies that are far less appropriate in my view. Your first analogy is not even seem to be about deliberate u

I am pretty sure if the email had read "a panda petting zoo might advertise during the campaign" this article would never have been written. The only reason this is controversial at all is because it involves the NRA. The article

You hit the nail on the head. It's the scaling/quality control problems that are the biggest risk. Also, from what I understand there have been quite a lot of problems with the different telsa models to date, but the top notch tes
