I'd love to take the time to change the way our IT department functions. They don't automate anything. They don't virtualize. They don't believe in rack mounted servers. We have 30 tower servers sitting on a specially built shelf, taking up most of a room. It's absurd but I have so much other shit to do that I can't justify completely disrupting their entire workflow
The spectrum is not that big and we can use it for exact the thing we use it.
I work in pharma, and our biggest bottleneck is drafting and executing service agreements and statements of work with new vendors. A system to facilitate this workflow would be amazing (document templates, a queue for requests with weekly status updates, etc.)

Of course there is manual work done by Legal that can't be easily automated, but that is just one component of the bottleneck.

"How do you ground a light bulb, and a motor inside a plastic case?"

Same way you complete any other ground - since ground and neutral are literally on the same leg (go look at any installation. You've got TWO wires coming in at the mains, ungrounded.)

So, tell me, how do you ground those ungrounded 240/277V wires??

You don't. Both of them ARE the natural ground dependent upon whether you're at the peak or trough of the waveform. That's kinda how AC works.

If you want to disagree with him, then give an argument. However if you want to do a quick smear and dodge then keep repeating that it's "thinly veiled political commentary" over and over again.
Five months ago, there wasn't an increased vocalized threat of risk towards, for example, the Iran nuclear deal, or vocalized suggestions of nuclear arms proliferation increasing. There is new information now, and that needs to be factored into level of concern. Of course it's political, but that doesn't excuse new information from having an impact on risk assessment.
He didn't say '0.1% risk' he said it's 0.1% or more, with no upper bound. By giving a wide range he wasn't implying any sort of accuracy at all.

Also, the book form leads to a different way of engaging with information, even if its digital. When I look at technical books on Amazon, I always read the table of contents first. Gives an idea of topics covered and overall organization, and thus how the information is connected in the author's mind. That adds value over just Googling and following various links in a haphazard fashion to learn about a topic.
Most founders I know that are under 30 did it that way.

They didn't need to be profitable or grow or something. They just did what they liked for a starvation wage in the first years and got a huge amount of business contacts in the process.

Yes, there is "leftover DC power" as a diode only allows power in one direction and whatever is left after the LED voltage drop is rectified DC. If I put 12V of LED on a 120V leg, I'll have 108VDC rectified left over after the LEDs take their voltage drop. If no other device uses that power, it just gets dumped out to ground, but it's still unused DC power.

That's not PWM in the video. That's raw mains frequency.

Another use case is someone like me. I absolutely love Fastmail's web client, it's better than any other web client I've used including Gmail. However, I also have a few email addresses for domains that I own, and I don't want to deal with clunky forwarding; I prefer to use them as-is. For those it's much, much easier to use a good desktop client rather than set up and maintain Roundcube or even SquirrelMail on my servers.

Windows 10's Mail app is not quite up to the task; it's fine for Outlook.com webmail but I need something much more powerful on Windows without having to buy Outlook proper (on Linux this obviously isn't an issue, there is a wealth of good desktop email clients for X and the console).

At my second serious job in the late '90s, my manager was the programmer who wrote the linker for Cray unix when he was there. Great programmer. Now I'm the old guy who intimidates they young'ns.

Being a good programmer has very little to do with following current trends in tools. Tools can be learned, especially if they don't require a fundamental shift in thinking.

I've lived through a project of watching lifer COBOL programmers involved in transitioning their systems to Java. Some simply couldn't learn Java at all, it was such an alien way of thinking. Some of them quit or retired, some became analysts for the project, because they understood the business that was encoded in those bazillion lines of twenty year old COBOL. Now I'm starting to see a generation of early Java legacy apps rewritten in Node or whatever. What goes around...

I know nothing about this implementation, but I'd be extremely interested into how the pricing model adjusts itself.

I'd assume there has to be some delay built into the system to measure the impact that price increases have on user take up and lane speed, however it seems in this case that when delays increase faster than the model can adjust its pricing you get to a point where it fails to work (ie nearly at a standstill)

And they are quite doable as weapons - it just takes some careful preparation and handling, and access to some mildly expensive materials.

True, but you didn't have to replace your TV, just add a cheap set-top box. (And not even that if you had cable or satellite TV.)

Also, at the time, most people only had one or two TV sets.

With DAB, you have to buy a new set, and most people have multiple FM radios: typically living room/hi-fi, kitchen, bedroom alarm clock/radio, car radio, boomboxes, and FM radios in smartphones and MP3 players.

We have about a dozen FM radios at home and there is zero chance of us buying any more DAB radios than the DAB/FM/CD "kitchen radio" we already have....

The obvious option is to buy a DAB receiver that broadcasts an FM signal to all your existing radios. That's how some of the DAB "radio adaptors" for cars work.

> However it does consume more AdBlue and/or produces less power the cleaner it is

This is why it's more costly. In order to design a diesel car that meets the exact same specifications, they either need to add an entire urea system (costs more money to manufacture, plus ongoing AdBlue costs to the consumer) or add a larger less efficient engine to meet the same performance target (costs more money to manufacture, plus ongoing higher petrol costs to the consumer).

Making a non-polluting diesel car is certainly more costly than making an equivalent diesel car that you don't care about pollution on at all. You're adding a big engineering constraint, of course it gets more costly!

I should add that I'm all in favor of cutting down pollution, and that if diesel as a technology turns out to not be that practical anymore for small cars, then so be it. Eventually they should all be zero emissions anyway.
On a related note, there is huge world wide need for BCBAs in developmental and behavioral psychology to help expand ABA and other early intensive intervention programs.

> Stressing the "deliver quickly" aspect of any language, if you're actually trying to deliver for a business or with a team of people, is extremely destructive short term thinking. And yes, sometimes, in rare cases, it may be a necessary evil, but I think it's become the norm with words like "agile" being thrown around as synonyms for "don't have to write anything down".

Unfortunately, this is pervasive in the "real world", especially with regard to client-driven (agency) work. Deadlines beat developers almost without fail. I agree that it is destructive short term thinking. Entire weeks of programming can be destroyed in a 15-minute phone call that (re)highlights a limitation clients either didn't account for in their specification (if you can call it that) or just chose to ignore.

This isn't to say that using a language or framework a developer is familiar with is baseless, but I've heard this advice before and see it reinforced often:

1 - Hire people not skills.

2 - Success is 90% preparation.

The road in question isn't really a public, state-built road.

https://www.expresslanes.com/project-background

> In 2007, VDOT finalized a long-term partnership agreement with Capital Beltway Express, LLC – a consortium led by Transurban that would design, build, operate, finance and maintain the $2 billion HOT lanes project. Transurban and its partners provided a substantial upfront equity commitment to help fund construction and financed the rest of the project through private activity bonds and a TIFIA loan. The partnership enabled Virginia to leverage private capital to translate every one state tax dollar into four dollars of transportation improvements.

>Construction, managed by Fluor-Lane, began in 2008 and the new lanes opened for business in 2012.

>In 2014, Transurban invested an additional $280 million of equity to put the project on solid financial footing following impacts of the global financial crisis. The private sector has assumed the long-term financial risk for the project, including full responsibility to pay back all project debt.
