    He was entitled to fly all 3009 segments, but if those were at least 2 hours per segment -- that's over 1700 hours a year. Way more than a pilot flies at 1000/year. So at a certain…

    Listing the number based on flight segments makes it sound much worse than it really is. It seems like he flew internationally a lot -- so every round-trip cancellation could easil…

    I got the same thing here, but had to scroll just a little. It's always the same popup on each site. It leads to a Czech Republic company herbalfun which offers downloads of games …

    (Full disclosure...22X/B22 here) I'm really excited beyond just our batch. Paving the way for this can change the game for a lot of other early stage companies.

    My company just finished this batch. 500 was upfront that funding would not happen until at least 2 months after the batch starts. My impression is that communication has been weak…

    I had a couple drivers tell me they'd use Lyft until they had too many hours and we're forced to take a break, then they switch to Uber until the mandatory Lyft break is over. I fo…

    That argument against it was that it was like taking blood from a diseased patient and trying to inject that into an already sick patient. Big mergers are tough when the companies …

    During college in Indiana, a couple of us software engineers wanted to take the state's "Professional Engineer" certification exam. Just to see how we'd do. We were told plainly, "…

    I spent years designing electronics and motors for GE, including the washing machines. I never once heard anyone in any department make the slightest mention of designing a product…

    I've gone through this before and the law is very clear that continued employment is not a valid compensation for changing the terms of your employment. The original employment agr…

    I think it was a language they developed to be used with IUP. Original research paper: http://webserver2.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/download/spe95.pdf Under "Resources->LED" on the sit…

    I saw binaries for Snow Leopard and it appears to be built on Fink. So I think you're required to set that up too.

    What I thought the author was trying to say was that you can make a car that floats. It's just a much better understood problem to buy a car and a boat, then call it a day.

    I think part of the reason for the curve is to give the illusion that it's thinner than it really is.

    You mention Grove Square...they were the worst. Interesting thing about them was to get around the (now expired) filter patents, they used instant coffee rather than using coffee g…

    Exactly. Customer satisfaction is the last thing on Keurig's mind right now. I think we all know how this will play out if they don't wise up.

    I wrote the software for the Mother Parkers RealCup brewer and am quite familiar with at least their knockoff. The real purpose of the brewer was really as a way to push their bran…

    Basically, Louisville is a small town when it comes to Engineering. I had some contacts which eventually led to a job there. But the job got stale. Our platform was based on a Nati…

    It was a lot of holding cabinet stuff. That's easy to introduce into your workflow and doesn't really change the way you do things. Primarily a money saver by being able to hold th…

    I was the guy that used to write all the software for the CVap ovens at Winston, so here's my take... The basic idea is the pan of water is your food temperature and the air temper…

    Regular radio does this. There is a bonus if your music reaches a certain level. At 25,000 performances, it is 1.5x the base rate and goes up to 4x.

    His $4 number is misleading. You have to look at both his BMI and SoundExchange statements. The webcasting Pureplay rate was $0.0021 per play for 2013. 14227 plays is about $30.
