If they heard from the CEO specifically, it was probably based on the CEO vibe checking the resume as a last step after passing the entire interview process. The CEO may have spent 15 minutes on it.

Look at the map, all ocean travel between East Asia and India/Europe basically has to go past Singapore. They've been a trade and financial center with a substantial chinese population for a long time.

And now you're in court strenuously arguing that you weren't sexually gratified by the photo of your kid in the tub. Obviously most people are sensible most of the time but sometimes they are not.

And that's before you get into purchasing power parity. Not only at the consumer level, but the government level. The US has been working on SLS for what, 15 years? And its an overpriced mess.

Agree wholeheartedly with the exception that Bush 1 alone out of all of them may have actually been a successful shadowy lever-pulling elite. Spends his early life running a tiny front company for the CIA then all of a sudden he's the

I looked, and you outlined a solution that would be hard to achieve in a vacuum chamber on earth. Now we're going to launch it into orbit and it will work great? Building data centers in Antarctica with nuclear power would be easier.

Seasons mess that up unless you're burning fuel to make minor plane changes every day. Otherwise you have an equinox where your plane faces the sun (equivalent to an equatorial orbit) and a solstice where your plane is parallel to the

Data centers ultimately need to provide power and remove heat. Solar might be a little easier for power in space, maybe, but heat is an absolute no-go, stop, this will never ever work. You can't engineer your way out of the fact tha

For the most naive code, if you're calling "new" multiple times per row, maybe Java benefits from out of band GC while C++ calls destructors and free() inline as things go out of scope? Of course, if you're optimizing, y

Nitpick, blacksmiths typically did forging, which is hammering heated metal into shape with benefits for the strength of the hammered material. CNC is machining, cutting things into the shape you want at room temperature. Forging is machin

This was early-00s so it was slightly more trouble than that but still not the end of the world. The point is, the person wasn't trying to hedge against looking bad, they literally had to do and document this.

I think you're being a little unfair to the civil servant who has to follow the law regarding procurement. I once knew someone who had to solicit 3 bids and document them to buy a $500 camera for local government. They weren't th

Its not orthogonal, they are saying that the corruption is an easier permitting process. The main point of this thread that I found very poignant was the accessibility of corruption. In the USA, only the rich get to be corrupt.
