In 2015-2016 I did some mechanical engineering work at BWXT, designing nuclear waste containers for the Bruce Power CANDU reactor refurbishment program. I learned that the spent fu…

iPad mini sells pretty well for how little it costs apple to keep producing.

My team at Apple had PMs.

Rubber alone would require pressure pushing the battery against the housing to maintain the battery position during a drop. This pressure against the underside of the display modul…

I fail to see your argument. How would opening up immigration benefit Japan, other than depressing wages? Japan is an island already overpopulated relative to it's native energy an…

I cancelled my Prime within 24hrs of them adding the ads to the base tier. Just isn't worth it anymore.

Flawless communication between team members is important when developing complex products. If my team was primarily comprised of people who only fluently speak German, and we are l…

They have an operating profit, but they choose to reinvest it all back into the company, thus they don't have an overall profit. They could reduce the amount they are reinvesting i…

Github can't monopolize the word "copilot". It's a basic english word to describe someone that is assisting you to steer a vessel/team/project. It's been around for hundreds of yea…

In rural areas with no cell service, AM radio is often the only available form of weather and news. It's also a great form of emergency information broadcasting in the event of a n…

> US intelligence agencies by law do not operate within the US. The NSA (a US intelligence organization) has verifiably been conducting widespread surveillance of US citizens on US…

The Airpods and Apple Watch I think were both legitimately innovative when first released. They were massive leaps over what previous existed in their respective segments.

Over the last 10 years Dassault has slowly been destroying Solidworks. Each update brings new bugs, and almost no new features. They are now trying to force all users over to their…

What you can do instead, is slip under the car and splice into the wire harness that is running under the car to the transmission or differential. The transmission controller and d…

Check out Joby Aviation! Currently hiring all types of engineers. Developing zero-emission aircraft. The company is very social/environmental-impact conscious, and has an incredibl…

This is probably the best counterargument to raise in response to the "late-bloomer" anecdotes that many people raise. For every unit of societal productivity created by a late blo…

Chickens are amazingly stupid, disloyal, impulsive animals. Not anywhere close to pigs, and far away from octopi. (I grew up on a farm with both chickens and pigs).

That's not true. I work in aviation and we've had a number of reports of radar altimeter interference during takeoff and landing near airports with the new 5G towers. Older aircraf…

I'm a mechanical engineer, and ASME Y14.5 (the leading drafting standard in the west) requires the use of all capitol letters for technical drawings. Because of this, I use the Cap…

Canada has the largest nuclear power station in the world [1], led the development of one of the most successful reactor designs [2], and continues to be a leader in nuclear fuel, …

Of course it’s not ideal, but in the real world the designs are often impossible or impractical to build. If work halted every time construction workers came across a design that d…

Nearly every engineer I know would benefit from =>32GB of RAM as opposed to 16GB. On the consumer side, if more of the market has 32GB available, you can bet that applications will…

Same. I have no idea how I would navigate in China without an iPhone. All the other English language map applications are straight up unusable.

Automotive engines are designed to produce power at a wide range of operating speeds, at the detriment of peak power output and peak efficiency. Aircraft engines can take advantage…

Apparently the physical controls below the screens can perform all of the mission critical functions in the event of a display failure.
