My second hand experience is not from Hertz, but another rental company. The company bought a mixture of Teslas and misc. other EVs. In addition, they ignored installing any chargi…

Heavy push to go from WFH to in office in the last six months. Decrease in productivity in the last six months. It must be all the remote workers! Ignore the return to office push,…

Unfortunately, it is a matter of deterrence. A C&D will not get anyone's attention, outside of the recipient. Someone being charged with a felony carrying up to 5 years in jail, wi…

So the ED visits increased by nine times, but what about usage and availability? Did they scale at the same rate? There still needs to be a look at the packaging, safety systems, e…

A determined individual can remove epoxy without damaging the electronics.

Depends on what they accomplish during their tenure. I've seen non-founder CEOs take a $100M business to $4B, and others take a $4B to $500M. $100M to $4B deserves the reward.

I have a MYSQL and MSSQL background. I never understood everyone's fear of using CLOB/BLOB data types. Then I started working Oracle.

Its required by US law

Part of helping underserved communities would be to move some of the business outside the Valley and major metro areas. Find the mid to small cities and spread the wealth.

Turing only acquired the US marketing rights. Someone else is making the drug. So that doesn't change the FDA licensing, but they get to increase the price in the US. http://www.pr…

The cost to setup a process and maintain it according to FDA requirements. The market size is likely just under the cost to establish the manufacturing capacity for the US market.

So true. We allocate lots of money to education. Just it goes to administrative, consulting and testing expenses, rather than to improving the education provided.

I like the idea behind the Swedish system, but then I think about what would happen in the US. Wal-Mart would get the exclusive contract for services. After that you would be happy…

Also, the $6-8 million given to the University is after the UAA pays for all of the expenses of the non revenue producing sports teams.

Affiliated? Yes. Two separate entities though. They do not receive any funding from the University. In fact the UAA has made a profit consistently for quite a while and has returne…

Parents have been signing indemnify clauses for years. I know my parents did when I played in high school in the early 90's.

How will this change OSS development? Do we need additional patent lawyers filing patents for every open source idea? What happens when someone makes a commit today and then mega-p…

If you are employee, work with Accenture consultants, and want to see them pull their hair out then work long hours. They'll try to maintain the work longer deal until they give up…

I end up going back to "Dive Into Python" for reference. http://diveintopython.org/ My other two references are the Python Standard Library Docs ( http://docs.python.org/library/in…

I just finished interviewing 12 grad students from the same school. I wish someone would have come in and given me such a clear reason to place them above the rest. Very nice idea …

I have more of an issue with the lack of control that I have between my friends, family, coworkers and their social networks. I had a coworker arrested on some very serious and cha…

My team has been using FogBugz for over a year now. Huge improvement over the various systems I've used in the past. I never tried Redmine, but you couldn't get me to switch away f…

Interesting to see their growth. I absolutely love the xobni free client. I'd have Plus if Corporate would pay for it. Enterprise could probably be sold to them easily.

This hits home right now. I'm traveling more and reading less, because I hate carrying books in my bags. I love the idea, but I can't get over the cost for a limited use device. Es…

You sound like you have nothing holding you down and a great trip ahead of you. Once the job and bills start rolling in it becomes more difficult to break away and do it. Not impos…
