I know more than a little about psychology and managing workforce, like I said I’m a senior manager(as in over 10k employees type senior).

I did, there isn’t anything relating to Edison at all beyond Edison company camera crews recording it, which was a service not participation.

Burnouts a thing, but you have remarkably few cases of it when people enjoy their work. While I do actually work in senior management now, I came from being an engineer working in that same kind of environment. When you enjoy what you do a 60 hour week isn’t a big deal, not that people at SpaceX or Tesla are actually…

Doubt it, highly skilled workers walk with their feet, they’re highly skilled workers they don’t need to take that kind of crap if they don’t want to. And 99% of people in any large company never meet the CEO.

This is a really bizarre article, you seem to be arguing for and against self driving systems at the same time. Level 2 is what it is, it HAS to fall back on the driver by law and definition.

Depends on where you are, I am getting paid a pittance towards my expenses due to a local tax break that already existed for home workers.

In practice that isn’t always a bad thing and certainly addressable at an Engineering level. There is more risk to it, but it is totally in the realm of manageable and for a consumer it is essentially the same and can be a 1 to 1 substitute as its higher flammability is offset by the lower density i.e. you aren’t more…

From a clean energy standpoint this really doesn’t make that much sense. You still have a huge number of on gas properties and all you do is shift the usage. From a safety point of view of a city in an earthquake zone, it would have made sense decades ago, but it doesn’t pass the carbon muster.

That’s pretty much how all major industries developed technology though, and it still is how they do it with internal R&D, it is only the fact that the University model expanded to science during the enlightenment really proffered an alternative today. If you read the news in the UK there is a whole thing about James…

That billionaires tend to words the extreme personalities and sociopathy is neither new nor noteworthy. There are a few that are generally good people, but they are the exception not the norm and the rest are either normal people with a few tendencies in that direction and got lucky or all out sociopaths that do…

Jobs is probably a bit of a toss up, but other than being a bit of a thief what’s wrong with Edison? Also Musks an arsehole, but his impact generally in the industries he’s chosen to operate in have been either neutral(tunnelling), positive(vehicles) or massively positive(spaceX). His personal life is a dumpster fire,…

You can, if you have a pretty significant amount of experience and skill, even with the most automated of CNC and all the necessary files it isn’t something anyone can do. You also can make barrels that way, but they won’t be good.

I wouldn’t call 3 gun practical, but I get the general idea. That being said I think it is likely in the spring some of the pressure will be off a bit. There was already expanded capacity in the supply chain coming online and I don’t think many of the rona panic buyers will actually do much shooting.

It isn’t just the hoarding, there has been real issues in the ammunition supply chain globally for several years as various markets and consumers hit up against demand and supply issues. I’ve had my units ammunition allocation cut by anything up to 80% over the last ten years or so seemingly at random. When…

You only live once, no point hoarding the stuff, use it and have fun. Unless you are reliant on that ammo to put food on the tablet just take the enjoyment and training.

Wasn’t that research done under Clinton not Obama?

What’s wrong with BPs presence in the middle east? Of all the oil companies operating there they are probably one of the better ones for not being utter prats with the locals, little bit colonial in attitude, but they pay their way. They also just tend to follow what the governments either UK and later US want.

That office already was only really used for a handful of senior execs and enough people to justify the space. Most of the companies presence has been outside of London and they have a very large office where most of their London based project teams work out of in Weybridge just outside the city.

Well those expensive monitors really do bring something to the table, the Samsung G9 for example is pretty awesome.

The thing with anything that games, be it a PC or a console is as a general rule of thumb the device you are using to consume the content on should be at least the value of thing thing running it. So it you spend say 800 bucks on a graphics card for a PC, you want to spend at least that on the monitor.
