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 point it just becomes too impractical to fly tha

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 easily be 6 segments. I've often had to reschedule a trip t

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 and movies for $40/mo. It looks like someone may b

(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 after Dave leaving and that has allowed room for speculatio

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 forget how many hours they said they drive on averag

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 are healthy. Are there cases where this has ever been succe

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, "you cannot register for the PE exam

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 to fail. That was a side effect of something like "d

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 agreement was the contract you are bound by. Coming to wo

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 site there is some mor

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 grounds. They were much worse than your standard Keurig.

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 brand of K-cups (it's the razor blade thing). Everything

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 National Semi COP8 (8-bit micro without even a multiply instruct

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 things longer. I think Arby's experimented with

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 temperature is your food texture/browning. It really i

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.

Glad to see someone mention this. A quick calculation using the listener formula from ( http://www.radio-media.com/song-album/articles/airplay66.htm... ) says his cumulative 3 month total is equivalent to a single

While the book is quite nice, I think it really misses it's target demographic. Many people in poor areas end up buying a lot of their food from the local convenience store where there's just a selection of low quality and unheal

It kind of bothers me that the Raspberry Pi Foundation is supposed to an educational charity, yet they are devoting resources towards developing products aimed business and industrial users. It doesn't seem aligned with their stated m

I would hope that most teachers are proactive about this. But I can tell you from working with some of the poorer schools, it can be a different world that what you are used to. Some teachers seemed to be apathetic and not very concerned

I can speak a little from my experience in electronics at GE Appliances. I hated most of interfaces we put on things, but that wasn't my call to make in engineering. I seriously doubt it's a patent thing. Note that we didn't make microwav

My two cents...There's a lot to read. I'd expect the home page to say that you can "Get local news, weather, traffic and deals" and a place to enter your zip to see if it's in your area. Your option are then to either signup or be notifie

I there the guys behind this are smart. But I also think they have lot going on. The project seems to move slowly. Interesting ideas tho.
