    There is nothing competitive about the wages in Denver when you're comparing to CA. Cost of living is lower than SV, but still one of the highest in the country.

    This is an interesting look for me into exactly who Apple is targeting. Obviously, not you, because you want more control. But the more that I hear about what they are doing and th…

    They don't need to, but Colorado, and Boulder in particular, is trying like hell to do it anyway.

    Unless I missed it, they didn't answer their own question, and instead just listed a few emotions that get people riled up the most.

    The issue, as I understand it, is all about weight. Putting two different power systems on board takes away all of the benefits of using one or the other exclusively.

    I think that "paying attention to" could just mean watching for other bad behavior to justify action. Not necessarily paying attention to take notes from.

    It's not that it's a phone meeting. It's that it's a pointless meeting.

    One of the first things that I got told in my materials class was that for the strength and weight, carbon steel and aluminum are essentially the same. Steel is about 3x as dense, …

    I don't think those are mutually exclusive options, myself. I would classify a lot of startup founders as crooks.

    That's not been my observation. People assume that if you have a lot of money, you must be good at something, not that you are inherently good.

    There is a huge gap between "not frictionless" and "impossible". Sometimes, people have to make hard choices. The reality is that if you want to live in a trendy/convenient/nice pa…

    I don't think that the particular time is the issue here. It's that there is a specific time at all. On top of that, the thoughtless commitment to a particular amount of time being…

    But if they told the truth, they wouldn't get upvoted to the front page.

    If NOx was really a priority, then the large producers would be subject to increased regulations rather than the tiny fraction that's produced by individual passenger vehicles.

    I had an almost jarring occurrence of this happen when I graduated with my BSME. My first name is traditionally associated with old rednecks. I sent out a hundred or so resumes bef…

    My argument is that the context is irrelevant. You have to do what you can with the hand you're dealt, but ultimately, if you're not willing to work for things, you will be poorer …

    I grew up there. It's not pleasant, but it is ripe with opportunity to seriously grow your worth. And 5-year-old hardware is hardly inaccessible to the internet. It is orders of ma…

    It's hard not to have your income rise if you take care with it. And it's hard not to have your income fall if you refuse to work for it. Acting entitled and actually being entitle…

    But who set the stage for the Baby Boomers? Do we blame the previous generation for that? At some point, you need to take responsibility for your own actions. Even if the situation…

    I find this to be more than a little disingenuous. While it is true that millennials are poorer, the reasoning isn't so cut-and-dried. I fully place the blame on the attitude of en…
