I remember way back in the 20th century you can get schematics that show the circuit, parts, etc. And if you can read schematics, you can also learn how things are put together and learn how to do stuff yourself. Places like Radio Shack will give you a better paying position besides just a clerk.
Come to think of it, it is a struggle to get actual schematics. And if you can get them, they are so densely packed with lines and many unclearly labeled boxes, not very useful.
Phone made noise but not horrible. Basic message this is a test with no need to respond. phew, at least not a long screaming diatribe about Hillary and Obama.
kind of makes sense, increase deaths so there's less people on social security, traffic jams, disability, retirement plans, etc. Take it to extreme like in Logan's Run... eliminate the old people.
I like how you took this car analogy, I posted this little thread to a friend's FB page. She really likes horses and also collects horse analogies like computer people collect car analogies.
It is computers are becoming more tied to the The Cloud where to do anything the computer has to be online. And then there's constant upgrades to upgrade in order to meet the next upgrade (and pay more money). For most of my stuff I don't need a faster computer, just something to do stuff without having to deal with downloading crap I don't need.
My first thought was Dr. Strangelove references (we already have one posted earlier). Then there was Reagan just after his inauguration he asked to see the War Room, was told there was none. So he created one.
I am curious if a movie were to be made about Musk, how would it be portrayed? i.e. the movie about Howard Hughes "The Aviator" and would it then be called "The Rocketman?" I find it interesting some of the parallels (though not many) however you got to admit Tesla has affected the car market and SpaceX the space market.
It is baffling at times but then results from decisions made now will not show until 10 or 20 years later. It also seems Boeing is on the ragged edge where profits are a smidget to expenses. Boeing risked their whole existence with development of the Dash 80, started on SST but bailed (a ***lot*** of people laid off), gambled on 747 which paid off. Same with 777 and 787 which are a good fit for point-to-point airline model now favored over hub-and-spoke which only jumbo jets are good for i.e. A380 (their customer that keeps the production open is United Arab Emirates). However profit margins are just a sliver, I think it is military orders that keeps Boeing in existence. Like govt subsidies keeps Airbus in existence.
Reminds me a quote by (I think) Donald Douglas who said to become a millionaire in the airplane business is to spend 10 million.
Your comment about hiring engineers as "contractors" that are paid less with zero job security, and new people living paycheck to paycheck in a shared apartment. This could be one piece of their downfall but then it is the military orders that keep them in business. Boeing is the ***only*** US big airplane company left.
"Impossible, you wear glasses!" I'm thinking another course is take what Richard Garriott did. Make millions in another field, i.e. computer gaming, then buy a seat on a Soyuz. His dad was an astronaut, Richard saw how limited becoming a professional astronaut would be, so he took a different route (a "commercial" route!)
I am too-often amazed at how so many VC firms don't really seem to understand the technologies at which they are throwing money.
I sure like to know how people able to get others to give them millions while I struggle to get purchase approvals for items in $100 to $1000 range. I have heard VCs will nitpick planning proposal documents to the T, but some simply write a check for $40M after a single presentation. I gotta be missing something or perhaps the worst creator of PPTs.

A documentary about homes in floodzones and engineers that define these areas based on geological features that may change or have changed. When certain features change which then large areas become a flood hazard, so in one fell swoop the engineer that signs off on marking the area on a map as a flood zone just caused property values to plummet. How would you like to be that engineer?
Can't blame the engineer(s) to be honest as long as they are competent. I sure would like to know if my property is in a flood zone. You can imagine the political fallout particularly from real estate businesses and their lobby. Then there is federal insurance to cover them in event of flood (homes getting rebuilt at govt expense), but tell homeowners to move? For many they don't have any other place to go (retirees living in their same home for decades). Then places like Silicon Valley where the land is expensive (depreciation is simply as tax writeoff but property will always go up in price). But wait, areas were Google is be declared a flood zone? What about their basement at Shoreline where they have pallets of billions in cash?
I helped a friend decades ago where car antenna broke at the base, those stiff telescopic on right side in front of passenger door. Wrapped a coat hanger around base and it worked ok. Kind of ugly though.
It makes sense of all movies of space forces covering interstellar distances at superluminal speeds only to engage the enemy like 18th century navies. Plus flaming fireballs and thunderous explosions in the vacuum of space.
I was curious of online property tax for the new Apple campus in Cupertino, I found APN for that location 316-07-049 SCCtax webpage returns "No bills found for property 31607049 in fiscal year 2019." I did find this from https://www.sccassessor.org/in...

You are right in the sense if we can get more people to die sooner, less burden on social security, traffic, etc. Problem is you will not like it if you or your loved ones were selected to die sooner than others.
This reminds me of what happened many decades ago when it was imperative to make a spacesuit, but various barriers were overcomed. Great post from Major Blud about ILC Dover. ILC was the one company that knew how to make movable joints from experience making girdles, other companies had suits that would be way too big. So they paired up ILC with Hamilton Standard because the latter knew of aerospace bureaucracy. Obviously there were tensions between the two.
Fascinating story overall, a book called Space Gear mentioned when the contract was finally awarded for the Apollo EVA suit, the ILC guy at a dinner party threw the prototype suit in the fire place in front of the NASA guy, "now you know how I really feel the way we were treated" (or something like that). Since then there have been documentaries that show the old ladies (ILC selected the best seamstresses for this group) sewing the spacesuits (and yes they too wanted to walk the surface of the moon). ILC manager recalls watching Neil and Buzz on the lunar surface thinking, "finish up! finish up! get back into the LM!" because he knew all the things that could fail on the suit. These suits are not exactly indestructible.
There was a program at NASA Ames of a hardsuit design, not bulky with many flexible joints and with higher than 5 psi pressure so reduce the 4-hour prebreath time. John Young wrote in his bio book about spacesuit designs of various ideas but NASA kept with its "monster suit."
Overall maybe need someone with the technical, managerial, leadership talent to head up a spacesuit design. Be able to harness resources and battle the bureaucracy for a usable space suit. But forget about Mars (it will always be 20 years into the future a Mars EVA suit will be needed).
Going OT here (I admit not RTFA but will comment anyway), talking with a friend that worked in fruit packaging/sorting and also some crop fields in south county in Santa Clara Valley before it became Silicon Valley. She mentioned one year all the apricots yield was not good, was it a bad season? Next year the yield was worse. So was everyone else and the cause was traced to pollution in the valley. I then thought, wow it has been years since I last ate an apricot.
Means the world is going to find ways to uncouple its dependence on the US, as it is becoming considered too irrational and unpredictable.
The recent debacle where Trump badmouths our European allies and praises Putin, then I saw on CSPAN this 1958 film "Why NATO" thinking how much has changed in 60 years https://www.c-span.org/video/?... particularly attitudes back then when a visiting Republican president was there since previous visit as the Supreme Allied Commander of WWII.
I'm thinking Putin has effectively weakened the alliance between US and NATO, much more effectively than his predecessors all without the use of military hardware. Also think about during past 70 years has been relatively peaceful in Europe, I can't think of any other era of a time this long with no major conflicts.
Some years ago I read way deep down there are diamonds the size of watermelons. By the time they make it to surface (million years or more?) they are broken up into much smaller pieces. Imagine a diamond that big, how much would it weigh? What about polishing it and trim it? Be a damn shame if a jeweler intended to trim the edge but hit it in such a way it shatters into little pieces like a car rear window.
I fully agree. I'm not a pilot and occasionally see various articles of pilot shortage. In another forum I commented problem is requirements are very high and prospective pilots will have to endure low pay during time to meet these requirements, some may give up. Another replied, "that's your problem! You don't understand becoming a pilot is a calling, not to make lots of money." I see this attitude in other fields, ask for a living wage and get shouted down for being liberal or greedy or [insert word of the month].

what about dayglow red colored kumquats featured in that episode of "Wormhole Extreme?"
whenever I read something regarding Monsanto, it is always gives me scary feelings.
