I bet traditional power company metering could already tell what hours of the day and which days of the week I am usually at home. What could Nest tell them that they don't already know?
Won't that simply delay the ear popping issue until the doors open at the top floor, and make it worse since its all at once? You would have to pressurize the entire building for that to work.
Will this elevator provide foot locks such that people will not 'leave' the floor when it's descending at ~72kmph? And how are they getting around the queasy sensation you'll most probably feel?
Also. I think you underestimate just how fast you need to accelerate to lave the ground. Lets just say it's more than 9 meters per second squared.
It made me think, "this is a joke and quite possibly a scam, these are the same people responsible for allowing heartbleed to happen, do not give these assholes money".
Well I was mostly talking about actual conversation with a person. Most of the resumes I see are butchered beyond belief by the headhunters that are sending them in. And at any rate, the decision to put an interviewee to a level 2 or 3 person like me is already made before I even see the resume, so I have no control over it.
That being said, if I did have a choice, I guess it would depend on how badly it was written. As far as the "geek savant", I would currently have to reject that one outright. I work at a very small company, and the ability to work and communicate with others is far more important than at a big company where you can give a person a desk in the corner and a pile of work without interacting with others.
I saw more of the "wont someone think of the children" posts. Seriously people, if you are worried about your children getting alcohol you have weay bigger things to worry about.
they probably lack the communication skills to get reach me in an interview.
Doesn't everybody?
Typical... Anyhow, I think I would probably reject myself if I had to interview myself. Either way I would want to have someone film it since we would probably get into a fight or something.
As someone that makes tech hiring decisions, I do value people with good English skills. (or is it well?...)
To be serious, though, while I value communication skills. I value engineering skills more. However, if someone failed English class, they probably lack the communication skills to get reach me in an interview.
That sounds like the exact same logic that places linux administrators in charge of phones.
I also find that a company careless to have all of their development and management staff with root in production is also careless enough to either have no security policy, or to not follow whatever security policy they do have. It isn't a matter of "if" they get owned, but "when".
Religion is involved all right... the religion of high school football. The parents elect the board and the board hires administrators that protect the holy football. Football jocks bully some geek, reactions range from slap-on-the-wrist to nobody-gives-a-shit. Administrator punishes football players, team misses the playoffs, and the board fires him.
Why would the WIPIAL (the organization responsible for HS football in Western Pennsylvania) give a shit about some kind that is not a football player being bullied? The school administrators stick together and will cooperate on the coverup.
While the post linked in the story is some right-wing nutjob blog (AR15 contest on the page of a report of school bullying, there's a solution for you)... the story is real. GP's link to the Tribune Review is an actual newspaper with actual reporters.
Funny how my company is going in the opposite direction. They want to get developers out of the production environment completely, and have an ops team do all of the support and maintenance. I for one am glad to see this happening.
I consider this the same direction. Getting people who are not qualified to stop doing things that are not their job.
And before social media and enhanced coverage of school issues... this was the standard operating procedure. School administrators will only do the right thing when shamed into it. Until then, cover up and deny everything.
I am wondering why more kids do not go into "break the nose of everyone that looks at me" mode. The old "stand up to the bullies, they will cower away" simply does not work when they know they have the back of the administration.

I was reading about the new Google Time Machine... I thought that was for Street View and not Youtube.

Tell that to the voyager probes.

I once managed to briefly convince someone that the bulb bit of the CN Tower actually moved up and down like an elevator.
What kind of "work" do you do on a phone?
Will there be door prizes?
Will Jim Morrison be a playable character?
Were you born in a barn? (Shut the door!)

A developer can make $100k easy and have a career that lasts for more than 4 decades.
Na, I would rather he have to live the rest of his life with being fired from his job and denied his pension for being a corrupt asshole.

You have correctly identified the thought process behind every highschool administrator in western Pennsylvania.
Looks like the cover their asses machine is in full operation.
To this day I'll never understand the 'smart' people who can't understand a dynamic or that it takes two to tango.
So if I am going to start punching you in the face for no good reason, and if you fight back you deserve to get punished just as much as I do?

All police hate being recorded. It forces them to do their job properly.
