Generally stating you are simply an engineer is a broad statement and not necessarily stating you are qualified in the specific subject you are talking about.
For example, an engineer could be (say) a software engineer, chemical engineer, civil engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer etc.Only some of these would be directly qualified to talk about traffic light timing
...if I am or was a Tesla employee I can sue Tesla for entering into an agreement which limits my opportunities for employment by other companies and therefore puts downward pressure on my potential salary?
When I use WhatsApp through my phone, it shows the history of my conversations. Presumably the police have recovered Masoods phone, can use one of the numerous ways to get into it, and can thus see what messages he sent over WhatsApp and to whom.
In short, why the hell can't Plod read Masoods last words over WhatsApp? Also if they knew he used WhatsApp, that shows they have either broken into his phone already or picked up some data from his ISP already.
Further, the latest UK Investigatory Powers Act regarding security only wanted metadata, not content, and a great deal of effort was spent convincing the general public that this was all that is needed.
So my question is, is my view of the situation wrong or is Amber Rudd technologically clueless?
But they're not building the airliner for $30 million. It appears they're building a 2 seat, 3 engine plane to test out some of the technologies for $30million+ a bit more. The nearest comparison is perhaps building the winner of the X-Prize Spaceship One which probably cost less than $30million, although it's hard to tell how much Paul Allen sponsored it for,
Concorde was I believe what is called operationally profitable. However since it was able to fill seats at nearly twice the proposed $2500 cost, it would mean that this new aircraft would attract a market at that price.
It is irrelevant whether Concorde made money or not, although I'm lead to believe that at various points in its lifetime it was profitable.
The question was whether enough people are willing to pay $2500 and since Concorde was generally heavily booked at even higher prices, the answer is Yes.
I remind you that Concorde was substantially more expensive than $2500 and it was kept busy. There are a lot of bigwigs who are willing to pay that sort of money especially if their company is paying for it.
Whilst accepting its not going to be pocket change, if it was $5 billion, the manufacturers of private jets would be unable to do any new aircraft.
Assuming its not a scam, they are claiming that $30mill will get their Proof Of Concept (XB-1) through, when I presume they'll seek a further round of funding to scale up. The problem is that scaling up is a big problem in commercial aircraft terms. Triple the size makes everything more than 3 times harder, because if it weren't we would be seeing 747 size Concorde lookalikes flying around right now.
Looking at their website however, it looks like the XB-1 is only a two seater, so I suspect their claims to get v1.0 out the door for $30 million plus whatever they already have may just about be possible.
An Operating System is always tied to someone; it's just a matter of whether you'd prefer to be tied to Apple, Google, Microsoft or the Chinese Government.
Yes, but that's the operating temperature range. In reality, you'll have your phone close to your body or in a bag and the temperature in that environment will be nowhere near -20. In addition, the electronics of the phone will be keeping your battery above this threshold.
...you could simply mix the two flavours together and use a standard straw, the only difference being the two level shake would be a single chocolaty color
Maybe it's placebo effect - placebo can be stronger than this. (FWIW, if placebo effect can cure me, I'll take it.)
It could be that since optune users had to go through some sort of regimen, they disciplined themselves to look after themselves better in other ways too.
As I recall the inflatable module has a multilayer lining to protect from radiation and micro meteors and other stuff. I don't recall fuel tanks having the same concerns. Also the inflatable module used for comparison is a prototype and full size inflatable modules will be substantially larger.
All in all I don't see how a second stage tank will compete.

Netflix buys a small French cinema, has one off showings of its movies.
Problem solved.
What puzzles me is why they didn't get it from Khalid Masood's phone. Unless he deleted the log, the message he sent is sitting on there.
Engineering has many specialised fields.

He did repeat his stock phrase "in two to three" years a helluva lot.

I do JavaScript development. That does not necessarily mean I like JavaScript

Life expectancy for North Koreans in Malaysian airports is much shorter.
That's a relief, Mickey's been searching for him for ages.
Mixing the ingredients wouldn't make it look as purty.
Someone else suggested a vertical divider to separate the flavours and two straws,

We already know the answer. We just don't know the question
I've had to return my S7 Note and miss not having a phone with the emergency firelighter feature. Will this be on the S8?

It seems like a wonderful way to export only real news approved by the despotic government of your choice.
Can you say doubleplusgood?
Just how much energy this sucker uses and how much pollution is caused by one of China''s coal burning power stations in generating such energy?
