It would seem that, at airplane speeds, mass would be the primary concern. While the first thing you hit on a drone is its cheap plastic propellers and superstructure, at its core is a dense battery, which can be fairly heavy on the common

Streamlining the nuclear regulatory process would go a long way. Other countries make it work well and at far more competitive upfront costs.

Non-simultaneous data and voice is, I believe, a symptom of a Sprint connection. TMobile should be able to handle both simultaneously.

Based on the fact that the policy held for the duration of my classmate's stay, I'm guessing that he did implement a policy forcibly preventing flash drive use. But the whole time he was a thorn in everyone's side, maybe beca

Could you elaborate on who benefits from a poor procurement system? Does it benefit them in that in conforms to their ideology, or does it do so tangibly? I'm familiar with people being in favor of government being cumbersome, but I ca

I have a class with the guy who was in charge of infosec (or the closest thing they had to 'in charge') for US military in the Middle East from about 2004-2006. When he got there he implemented a policy forbidding use of flash dri

As a sort of abstract question, do readers here think of <Class X> 101 as meaning fundamentals of X, or basic techniques in X? Having taken image processing from both sides, I'd say that learning the principles was much more usef

Last time I flew, I was flying out late-ish from SF. Knowing the Amex lounge was near my gate, I was able to go surfing for a while rather than worrying about eating before my flight. I got there and was able to relax in decent chairs and t

My interesting language anecdote is that I find it much easier to hear syllables in Chinese than in English; I have very sensitive hearing, but I can't distinguish consonants very well. My first language is Enlish, and I'm a medio

From the couple of discussions I've had with Rogers, he seems like he's too grounded and aware of the world to actually pursue weakened encryption. Plus, it would make the IAD half of NSA's mission almost impossible. When I&#

You see similar things in the military as a tension between enlisted service members and officers. It's a common belief that officers can get away with murder while the enlisted are given severe punishments for minor infractions. There

You don't use custom devices, of course; in fact, your phone stays at the front. I've never known of anyone to be able to move IT equipment in and out of classified environments. I'm assuming that they make exceptions just fo

None of ATL, DFW, or PHX can honestly be described as the middle of nowhere. Perhaps "middle of nowhere" is just your strongest verbal condemnation of a location, but using it as such dilutes the quality of discussion by robbing i

Assuming force being applied along the axis of the spine, and that it continues, you would experience tunnel vision, lightheadedness, loss of consciousness, and eventual death. People can't really handle more than 5g on that axis with

In my experiences, T-Mobile is much better to have when you have both. If you're somewhere where you're just hoping for anything at all, Sprint wins. T-Mobile has fast data, but falls off quickly outside dense areas. I find the tw

I used to live in a town that I'm now aware is about 25 miles from the edge of that zone marked in the article. I'd be interested to know what the restrictions were in town, because I certainly never noticed them.
