If you work at an unprofitable company, that's not sustainable, innovate all you like...
Nope! You can't be innovative in an unprofitable company. That takes risk and resources the company can't spare! You have to copy the competition until you are better than they are.
Do they seem easy to train? They will need to learn how this group does business and works together after all.
Aptitude is what you want to determine. Unfortunately, that is difficult to measure. Skills are easier to measure, that's what these companies are trying to do.
I once took an industrial psychology course in college. What I learned was that it's extremely difficult to determine who will be good at any particular job. However, the methods used by industry are typically the worst way to do it.
I've NEVER had a Bluetooth device maintain connection at 30 feet WITHOUT walls.
I've never had one work through a door much less drywall...
I have had a few unexpected conversations with my mother-in-law while taking my wife's car out of the garage. I suspect not all Bluetooth devices are created equally, and the one in my wife's Ford is very good. It will connect to her phone from well over 30 feet, with several walls in between.
Too much gets said about how great electrically powered vehicles are, but they're only zero emission at point o suse. Not enough gets said about where the electricity to charge those batteries comes from - unless it's wind/solar/wave, then it's actually quite a lot of emissions in the overall system.
Why do you believe that? It seems every Slashdot article about electric vehicles has someone making this point. However, converting all of the world's power grids to renewable energy only solves 30% of the problem. By converting transportation to electricity and converting the power grids to renewable energy eliminates the majority of carbon emissions. We should do both.
You appear to be completely dismissing the value of electric vehicles because our electric grid doesn't have enough renewable energy. However, we have the resources to tackle both of these issues at once, and it seems to me we are succeeding.
Why don't we put all the water back into the aquifers we've been taking it out of, instead of letting it out, and down to the pacific?
If only we could trap that water behind large barrier and let it seep back into the aquifers! That would be a novel device. What would we call that? Maybe a...dam!
Question: Which energy technology has displaced the most people from their homes and villages, has rendered the most land uninhabitable by humans as well as all native plants and animals, and has killed thousands of square miles of animal and plant life?
Large amounts of energy are inherently dangerous. It doesn't matter what form. To be safe, a power source should:
1. be distibuted
2. be diverse
3. have redundancy
I used to think it would be fun to move around the world. However, now that I have kids, moving isn't practical. Family is a wonderful support system. Moving far away means that support system gets left behind. Unless you are incredibly wealthy, and can afford to bring parents or grandparents with, or hire a live in nanny, it's just too difficult.
My perception is that most union members believe in their union, and thus, in the act of encouraging unionization.
Not the union members I interact with. Most of them view it as needless bureaucracy. They believe a union is necessary, but has gotten way out of control because of a few power hungry people. Most good employees want to be part of a team that gets things done, but a union can be divisive to a company's culture.
Example: a member of local 5 can't help a member of local 6 pick up a box, because picking up boxes can only be done by local 6 members according to their contract. I've seen these things happen. Everybody is unhappy about it, but the union leaders insist it's necessary to keep out the "scabs".
I don't care how fancy the algorithm is, the original data was lost. This is still just a guess about the original content. It's just a better guess than was possible before.
I just hope law enforcement doesn't think they can use this to solve any crimes.
According to an article on Arstechnica, there is some problem with the current design, which means the recovered boosters are only good for one or two re-launches.
There is an issue with turbopumps cracking. I suspect this issue was only detected because the rockets have been recovered after launch.
All our business computers were just converted to Firefox.
I'm quite surprised by this since Firefox doesn't support group policy certificates. A lot of companies avoid it for that reason. Especially companies that run IronPort.
I use Firefox on my mobile devices because it allows much better ad blocking than Chrome. However, even with the ads, Chrome is much faster.
Fix the speed problem, and it's still an excellent browser. However, it seems like Mozilla is focused on everything but speed.
So many years have been spent trying to make a robot than can walk. However, this is better. This is a robot that can roller skate. It's faster than walking or running, but just as agile!
At the end of the day, I would do it again. I can live with a few false positives and it gave me some piece of mind.
I should add, that I never brought any of my children to the emergency room due to one of these false alarms. I examined them myself. Basically, if they were breathing, they were fine.
I purchased a Snuza Hero and used it on my two children. It's not connected to my network, it just sounds an alarm if it no longer detects breathing. My doctor warned me they are unnecessary, but I wanted the peace of mind. There were false alarms, but that was ok in my opinion.
Network connectivity is a little extreme for something like this. All I want is something to tell me if my baby is alive or not. I'm not going to analyze blood oxygen levels or heart rate data.
At the end of the day, I would do it again. I can live with a few false positives and it gave me some piece of mind.
I think he would make a great president. However, I think he carries just as much influence in his current capacity. The man has done what most governments have failed to do, make a viable mass produced electric car, and launch a satellite into orbit.

Slashdot is not ignoring renewable energy, but electric transportation is important too.

Has Tesla ever produced an analysis of their pay and benefits versus those of a unionized shop?
Musk stated, "Tesla is the last car company left in California, because costs are so high."
It's hard to do a comparison when you are the only one in the state.
Sure, it could narrow a search. However, this shouldn't be used as evidence in a trial, or even to obtain a warrant.

Jessica Alba also runs her own business(es), which, as far as I care to research, is the biggest portion of her income these days.
Jessica Alba has been wildly successful in her business ventures. Perhaps Microsoft should have made her more than a creative director.
I get the feeling I've seen this feature before...
Dear Google,
Good luck defending this to the European Commission.

This has legs and wheels. Presumably it could walk or jump up and down stairs.

Oxygen is created by fusion. Likely from a star. Oxygen isn't created by photosynthesis, unless TFA is specifying only diatomic oxygen.
The corn we eat today, is nothing like what was available even 50 years ago.
The battery on the Snuza was good for years. It's not rechargeable. If it was turned on and not attached to the child it would sound the alarm.
At the end of the day, I would do it again. I can live with a few false positives and it gave me some piece of mind.

Sorry I misread your comment. Either way, that HR representative was not doing their job.
please PLEASE run for president next time.
I think he would make a great president. However, I think he carries just as much influence in his current capacity. The man has done what most governments have failed to do, make a viable mass produced electric car, and launch a satellite into orbit.
