Why sell a used oscilloscope to a hobbyist when some poor child in India or Africa could throw it in a bonfire and try to recover the lead and cadmium? And you could stimulate the economy by buying a new unit from China.
I picked up a nearly mint Weston Wattmeter that works beautifully. Problem is (as you can see from the picture) the terminals are exposed. So OSHA would shit themselves if this ever made it into a workplace.
Part of the decline of Boeing Surplus has to do with tighter inventory and production control. They used to grab a handfull of aircraft-spec circuit breakers to assemble panel. When they were finished, they couldn't return the spares to inventory without running an acceptance test. So they just pitched them in a tub skid. Which ended up at Boeing Surplus.
I rewired an old truck fuse panel with 28Vdc aircraft breakers I dug out of a bin at Boeing surplus may years ago. Probably cost me $20. But the new cost of those parts was probably a few thousand dollars.
Boeing also doesn't build much stuff anymore. So the tub skids of spare parts are all in China now.
It actually looks like they dropped the blueprints for the Monitor and the Merrimac on the floor, scooped them all up in whatever order and went straight to work.
I was involved in this sort of thing over 20 years ago. It worked well for certain classes of applications. On the other hand, it never went anywhere. I suspect that it never will. Because the people* that fought it back then and will sabotage it in the future are the CS grads who will be needed to implement it but will be put out of jobs.
*The people that built our natural language recognition/code generation systems were a bunch of mechanical and electrical engineers. The computer science people were the ones that howled to management that the task was "NP-hard" and not possible. We just kept running our system which worked just fine.
... as a direct employee. So become a contractor and take care of your own insurance. If you are in good health, you can buy a plan for a reasonable premium. When I left Boeing over a decade ago, the cost to pick up their insurance as a COBRA plan was significantly higher than private insurance. And my premiums today are still lower than their plan was back then. Due, I imagine, to the age distribution and relatively poor health of their average employee.
Instead, we must con women to do what they (quite rationally) don't want to do, so we can get our statistics right.
Minor logical error there. Sit in on an HR strategy session and you'll find that women represent a higher insurance cost to an organization than men. They incur more expensive medical costs (pregnancy, for example) while men are perfectly willing to sit at their desks quietly and die of some progressively worsening condition.
I've seen some video clips. If you want to restrict people driving to certain designated times, how about starting with driving just when the lights are green?
I read (TFA) as a finding of guilt to commit conspiracy was overturned. Nothing about the status of thoughtcrime as an actual crime. Nobody ever suggested that the thoughts by themselves violated law. Just that, absent any other evidence, they are insufficient to create intent.
So you think someone like Chris Christie or Bobby Jindal or GWB is competent to determine who would make a good board member?
In the same way that they nominate members of a medical licensing board, yes. They organize a panel of experts in the field to review resumes and nominate candidates. And then they act (in part) on those reccommendations.
Software isn't something that only autists and neckbeards understand. It is possible to identify experts in a field based on education and industry experience and have them manage a professional licensing program.
New York tried that. This is one example of a weapon specifically constructed* for the buyback and the several hundred dollars paid per gun turned in.
*It works. So you would literally have to shut down every hardware store and confiscate 2x4s and plumbing supplies to "get guns off the street". Good luck with that.

I don't know. I spent the last 4 years looking for my ex-wife's killer. Nobody would take the job.
Because the "first" thing I want from Verizon is being able to order a pizza from when I'm playing Minecraft on a phone.
Will it be a virtual pizza?

Now maybe we can properly calculate the trajectory of that manhole cover

Parking lots are private property. So there would be nothing stopping me from using a plate flipper.

This.
Most of these type of remarks are made by men who are advertising for "the other team" and hope some more guys will join.

Flawed study is flawed.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion.
Other reasons might be fine as a basis for revoking the permit. But it certainly does look like the Hawaiian Supreme Court blew it on this one.
In that case, start building. If the Mountain God objects, she will stop the project with a bolt of lighning, lava flow, or something.
And I'm tired of arrogant people who can't respect other people's cultures.
Science is a part of my culture. And I'm tired of people blocking its progress with silly religious objections.
It's going to be Jarts again for Christmas.
