I think this might be a good fit for a company like 7-11. Each store is getting fairly small deliveries, that all likely come from a central distribution point near/in the city. The cost to install a quick charger isn't that much for a business, I think around $1000. If at each stop, the truck is plugged in for the 15-20 minutes it takes to unload, it should make it through the day.
There is some merit to this when both parties are knowledgeable with respect to the item/service being sold, however for salary negotiation I think it is best to let the employer give a number first. The job seeker is usually at a disadvantage. They likely have not interviewed at enough places to build of a highly detailed picture of how much the position typically pays, or how much candidates typically ask for. The employer has likely interviewed dozens of candidates, for multiple positions. They also have an advantage as to knowing the maximum they are able to pay to fill the position.
Essentially, it goes like this... If the candidate gives a number first, even if they high ball it, they tip their hand as to their expectations, and also setting a ceiling. So the candidate might say 70k (or high ball at 80k), but the manager is willing to go as high as 90k for one reason or another. Conversely, if the employer goes first, they must give their best guess as to what they think the candidate will take. The employer says 70k, and has now set a floor for negotiations to start from. They might try to low ball you, but you have no where to go but up.
Perhaps that is too simplistic of a response. What about people would would like to maintain separation between their public and private personas? Actors, or teachers come to mind.
This is called a holographic will. The rules vary by jurisdiction, but if you can show intent, then it may be acceptable, as this guys brother was able to show in court. I frequently use the draft folder in my email as a scratch pad, for notes to myself later. In my mind, this is no different than leaving a physical suicide note scrawled on a napkin.
SSNs are now issued more randomly, but prior to 2011, the middle two digits were issued in the following sequence: 1) odd numbers from 01 through 09, 2) even numbers from 10 through 98, 3) even numbers from 02 through 08, 4) odd numbers from 11 through 99. If your SSNs are the same except for the last 4 digits your parents applied for the numbers at almost the same time, and lived in the same geographic region of the country.
They probably need the 4 months to fix their crappy system. Your credit account is locked using a pass code that they provide. The pass code is the timestamp of the date you requested the lock. Come on people. This isn't hard.
Try entering the following into Wolfram, Google, and Duck Duck Go: who is the greatest artist of the 1900's
Perhaps not all that controversial of a topic, but arguably, not one with a clear cut answer. Google come close to giving you an answer, Duck points you to a few sites with more information, and Wolfram can't parse the question.
Regarding Pandora, I have noticed that if you "over tune" a channel, by rating a lot of songs, it will go into regular loops of 40-60 songs. The sweet spot seem to be somewhere between 5 and 15 rated songs.
I think this is one of the more difficult things that a good storyteller does. While they may want us to see an alien world/time, they still must ground it in the reality of the audience. I find it taxing to have to "transpose" things all the time. The best example that comes to my mind is the Original Battlestar Galactica show. The time units sometimes drove me nuts, is a centon equal to a minute, a second or an hour? The term for a year was yahren. They sound similar enough, but pull you out of the story, to figure out how to relate to what is going on.
If Deckard had pulled a phone from his pocket, most people probably would have figured out what was going on (we had seen this on Star Trek). But Deckard wasn't rich, he was an average Joe. Mobile phones were for the upper class. We (the 1982 audience) relate to him better by seeing him use something familiar. I am not sure if this was one the mind of the writers and prop designers, but it illustrates the challenge of balancing the futuristic with the familiar.
With my old flip phone I could dial without ever taking my eyes off the road. Same thing with the car radio. I could navigate presets or change tracks on the cd player all by touch. Touch screens look cool, and are highly configurable but cannot be operated with out looking at them. Another nit that I have with car touch screens is that I cannot customize the display. Why can't I put navigation and radio preset options on the same screen? Currently I have to flip through four screens to set the navigation system to take me home, and then back another three to find my favorite radio station. It shouldn't be this hard people.
I have been to Disney World, and I have been to some of our most beautiful National Parks. Both are wonders to behold. Disney World may be expensive, and superficial on some levels, but they don't cheap out on the details. It is an immersive experience, and I commend the people who design and maintain it.
I think they need to fairly radically re-think the nature of their attractions and have fewer of them, but make them much higher capacity to minimize queuing, using continuous loading cars and long, serpentine paths to essentially make queuing part of the ride itself. An attraction the size of a football stadium, but enclosed with a serpentine path for the ride should be able to accommodate 20,000 or more people at a time. It could also make the ride longer, which would help with fewer rides overall.
Actually I think WDW does a good job of keeping you entertained while waiting. The queues for most of their rides are themed. Space Mountain, Star Tours, and the Toy Story ride are all good examples, helping to set the mood/theme for the ride with lots of attention to detail. They are far and above almost any other amusement park that just put you into a long line, that snakes back and forth 8 or 9 times.
I can second this. I haven't logged in for a while for various reasons. One reason was because I never get mod points any more. Why login if I am not rewarded for positive contributions to the community?
The article says you can steal passwords or "secret keys" (encryption keys?) with eight signals per hour. You could simply leave this behind so that you don't need physical access the next time the key changes.
If the task in front of you is so revolutionary that it has never been done before, then you really are building a prototype. This belongs in the realm of R&D which has its own theories and methodologies for handling project scheduling. However, most software projects are built using a set of known technologies. If you properly decompose your system design, an experienced developer should be able to estimate the amount of time required to code each part with a reasonable margin of error. So you are not asking for the time to build the entire data entry screen, but how long to mockup the interface, then add the data validation, then server interaction, and then the middle ware component that writes the data to the database. So not all that different from most construction projects, which all have their own creative aspects such as architectural design elements, floor plans, and color pallet for the furnishings, along with the more mundane aspects like the amount of time required to weld the support structure, and let the concrete cure.
My personal best is about 50 minutes, before I got bored with them. I told them I only had flaky dial-up service. I kept playing the modem connection sound, then tell them that their software was downloading. After waiting for 5 minutes, asking them rude personal questions in the interim, I tell them that I am at 90%, then shout a lot of expletives, saying that the connection went down, and need to reconnect. Once they passed me off to their tech support people because I told them the issue was on their end of the dial up connection.
How many people walk into police stations and start shooting? Ok, ok, I'm sure it has happened once, somewhere... Does it happen NEARLY as often as school shootings?
Armed teachers, armed parents, would solve this problem. Heck, armed teenagers would solve this problem. When my father went to school, you could still bring your.22 rifle to school, they had a shooting club and people had gun racks in the pack of their pickup trucks. No one would have dreamed of shooting up that school, 20 or 30 kids had guns there.
While I do agree that we may have gone too far to in disarming otherwise law-abiding citizens, I am not sure that arming every single teacher would do anything to solve the problem. In fact I can envision many scenarios where an armed teacher (or worse, a student) runs headlong into a situation where they have little to no training, likely complicating the efforts of the police to resolve the situation. The best place for that teacher to be is locked in the classroom with their students, making sure they follow the procedures proscribed for the situation.
I think the article eluded to this, that there would be some communication between the device and router before the charging began. I am a bit skeptical about putting this into large appliances like the fridge, however putting this into the base of a desk lamp might work well. That being said it would probably just be better mounted on the wall, or better yet, inside the wall out of view, hardwired into house power.
According to the summary, the radios passively send signals to the tower every few seconds, so you need not transmit a message to be detected. I do agree however that these are likely not useful for detecting speed traps, as you would likely detect officers on parallel side streets, generating a lot of false positives, especially in dense urban areas.

License plates are issued by the government and are protected as "government speech". The Court ruled on this issue two years ago.
Super C was fun, but like many sequels, was not a replacement for the original.
I agree, without Contra, it is worthless.
Everything new is web scale.

His code not functional or elegant

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to patrol the Microsoft visitor parking lot. Call that job satisfaction, because I don't.
