    MIT is toxic. I respect they supposedly have some good engineers coming out of that place, but I don't think as a school they offer much compared to Stanford, USC, etc... Most Amer…

    Know what kind of position you are interviewing for. There is no magic guide and checklist that you can use on the fly. But there is a way to make something of a checklist. You hav…

    This seems smart, there doesn't seem to be too much wrong with opening the door to investors. Once the investors start supporting the Tesla M3 and EV entry luxury cars, they will b…

    How much "drift" do you guys have to deal with when using consumer electronics? I don't imagine the calibration being too difficult or numerous these days. Wi-Fi these days is chea…

    It's like the $10,000 dollar hammer, but this is far worse. With the hammer, government apologists claimed it was to "secretly move money for DoD"... which really means it was the …

    Yea... Try and spin it on me in this forum, when the reality speaks for itself. They are just being taken advantage of by trying to hang out and fit in with a heavily antagonistic …

    It is just naive or dumb to think Google is left alone when they don't give access to the government. Of course they give access, but in the interest of being a vital source of int…

    That is what they get for trying to fit in with the Europeans and whites. They remind me of the Asians in the US that try to hang out with the whites, black, etc... It is a sad sig…

    Google got hustled. Nest was a disaster from the start. They are barely even a one-off. The best thing Google got out of their 3.2 billion dollar purchase was a patent troll. These…

    Umm... how old is this hack? Over a decade ago, one of my friends used to drive a somewhat nice car that he modded and fixed up on his own. He always threw his keys with the alarm …
