Seriously, it's like every Architect, Developer, and Tester is Indian. The BAs too lately. Same problem as outsourcing through... no speed, no creativity, no ownership, no quality. Just confusion and half-assed results. And immigration for the whole familty. Good luck taking the PM roles from the angry middle-aged white women though!
It just creates tension treating everyone like those.
Yep, it absolutely does. I'm about to change jobs because of this... I was quite happy and productive working remotely, hot-desking, etc..
And seriously, having a standup on Monday and thinking there might be some change since Friday when the production issues were going on? WTF? No, I don't work weekends.
Yeah, sounds doable conceptually but no idea about the packaging of it, although compute power could be off-board. Dynamic refocus could be tricky I think... probably needs eye tracking so the glasses know where the eyes are looking through the lenses, but yeah, you could have a fluid or viscous layer and use a combination of pressure and if you're brave perhaps magnetic attraction/repulsion between the outer layers to shape the lens. Most folks would just use a servo motor or linear drive through and forgo the extra lens shaping step.
You could probably skip the eye tracking if you used a range-finder and the wearer got used to moving their head with relatively fixed eye position.
Yes and no. Looking at the investment selfishly, then sure, if punters don't get a return within some time-frame then he must have failed to deliver and the company deserves to collapse.
My take is that he's changed the automotive landscape for the better, made a massive contribution to the helping the environment, and also to improving vehicle safety. Looking at it holistically I reckon he's already delivered. Some people invest to line their pockets, while others invest to make good things happen.
It's not an IT term. It's just some douche trying to coin a phrase and get noticed, "As I outlined in my HPE article, executives and high-performance employees tend to optimize against completely different trade and life principles -- they generally have very different views of the world.".
I know it's common to "maximise the use of your money" and that a valuation can be based on some income to asset ratio which encourages debt, but when multi-million and billion dollar companies don't have actual cash to pay their staff they're doing it wrong.
Today, I stumbled across the name again, when Wikipedia informed me that Caenorhabditis elegans is the most primitive animal that sleeps. Now I find that there's a robot worm that I'd consider to be alive.
Having some experience with both FDD and TDD, I can attest that test driven culture where automated testing is fully integrated into the dev process pretty much addresses all three of your conditions.
Or combine them. I've seen amazing things happen when the developers are fearful of the testers.
On another note, I want something that attaches to a barbell and tracks the speed of the bar and can automatically count my reps by interfacing to a strength tracker app on my phone. I know there is someone on this site that can do that.
Sounds like a good application for a Smart Watch, assuming it has accelerometers, heart rate monitor, etc. I know some folks don't like to train with a watch on, but if you did it could count reps tell you when to slow down, speed up, etc.
Hard to beat the GB/$ deal with hard drives, but with 1 year warranties and a lot of DOA deliveries, plus quite a lot of drives which seem to die within the first year, I'm not super inclined to put my valuable files on them.
IMHO, the current way to go is big old spinning disks configured as RAID on a NAS for bulk storage, and SSD for PC/Laptop/etc drives. Your valuable files are safe enough and you get great OS performance without breaking the bank on big SSDs...

Until you mentioned Congress (e.g U.S.), I could have sworn we had worked for the same organisation.
You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have frickin' sharks with laser beams attached to their heads!
I'm pretty sure that just shooting the sharks at the enemy would be more effective.
Also, Insource the IT from India.

I don't know. Higher voltage = scarier to them, maybe?
The only thing scary about a 9V battery is putting your tongue on it.

This seems to be a perfect product for the Uber app...
No, I think Lyft would be a better fit for this one.
Bunch of geniuses invent robotic surgical equipment that can operate in an intense magnetic field.
What's the first thing they want to do with it?
"Stick it up his arse!"
Still, that seems like something that should be handled with fines, not going all Gestapo by seizing the domain and servers
Going after the domain and servers sucks. But going after his home and family is fucking inexcusable.
Maybe look into who owns those brands. Often there aren't as many players in a market as it first appears.
That just strikes me as bad business.
I know it's common to "maximise the use of your money" and that a valuation can be based on some income to asset ratio which encourages debt, but when multi-million and billion dollar companies don't have actual cash to pay their staff they're doing it wrong.
That right there is the biggest issue, IMO. I wish I had mod points for you.
It must be very frustrating for the Tesla engineers to have a 60kW "free" energy source and limit it because the batteries can't take the charge rate
Is there no love for KERS at Tesla?
My GFs windows laptop does that all the time. PISSES ME OFF!!!
Get your own laptop, you leeching bum.
We need a +1 PWND moderation here.

Does the robot worm sleep?

How far back are you gonna go? Where you were born, or your parents, or theirs? It's 2014... We're all just folk now.
I guess we have to accept that we can't trust The Powers That Be to respect our right to privacy. Fortunately there are options.
I reckon more folks should be installing Open Whisper Systems RedPhone for encrypting their own calls. https://whispersystems.org/
Then there's always the Blackphone handset for more serious business too. https://www.blackphone.ch/phone/
I supposed if you were really paranoid you could run RedPhone on your Blackphone...
