I've been on both sides, both software project management and software development have high rates of arrogance, incompetence and assholeness. But management usually hired development, the most common mode is 'both suck'.
'Asshole' is a common charge. All I said was: 'be sure you identify the right asshole.'
Someone started literally crying over a bug report being brushed off rudely? You need better bug tracking software. Bugs cleared is a useful metric (no metric is perfect). Either it was a WETWARE problem or it wasn't. If it isn't, you corner the geek. If it is, you corner the crybaby. Either way they face the issue.
The peter principle never stops. Everybody rises to their level of incompetence and stays there. Accept it, learn to live with it.
You cannot 'rank and rate' away the peter principle. You will just end up with an office full of politicians.
Nobody has been 'ranking and rating' longer than the US military has with its officers. If it worked, the joint chiefs wouldn't be a bunch of weasel politicians. 'Weasel' wouldn't be the key job skill for all ranks past Colonel.
'Unmanageable' is a judgement. When it's made, the person on one side or the other should be removed from that team.
Often as not, the _manager_ is just incompetent. There is no way to know if that's Roscoe or not.
As always, there is no substitute for experience. A known 'difficult to manage' (which can mean 'cares about his craft'), but really top developer, can be used as a test for new middle managers. If the MM ends up kicking him from the team...fire the manager.
Of course that presupposes you have a 'known to Sr management as 'good but difficult' dev'. Can go completely wrong if the Sr manager is clueless, but you're boned in that case, so fuck it.
'Asshole' on the other hand...but be sure to identify the right asshole. People that won't do their jobs, unless you're an asshole to them, are the primary assholes in that situation.
In a bad team, everybody works at the level of the lowest performing person that is perceived to be 'getting away with it'. Which ratchets down. In that case, beware of firing 'assholes'. Sometimes they are just people who are late to the featherbedding.
The charging time problem is one of charging cable size. Supercapacitors do shit for that issue. If humans are expected to plug the cable in, you're limited to about current supercharge rates.
What your looking for is superconducting cables or huge contractors that lift out of the floor.
I know a dude, one of his prized possessions is an almost cherry card punch.
Apparently a bay area city thought they'd be screwed if there's broke, so bought a brand new one in the mid 80s (super genius). 10 years later, he bought it at surplus, don't know why (neither does he). Punched less than 100 cards.
I wish I had one of the banks of solenoids style electric typewriter/printer conversions. I'd have bought it too, but I didn't own an electric typewriter.
It's 5-10 years out because it's _bullshit_. Uber lives on hype.
Taxis are hailed on the street. Uber is a car charter service. There are no such hairs to split in aviation. Take money for a flight, carry a commercial pilot's license and charter company license.
Plates? Please don't comment about things you don't understand. Openings have to be smaller than the wavelength of the noise being addressed. At 700 MHz easy. Wrap it in chicken wire, solder the edges, ground it, done. Doesn't have to be perfect.
This isn't antenna design. Anybody who flunked basic physics can build a faraday cage.
Shoplifters have had this down for years.
Wires, especially bundled with grounds, longer than a few wavelengths (power cords) or made up of twisted pairs (ethernet cables) make very shitty antennas.
You have obviously never filed an interference complaint with the FCC
I used to be able to hear my neighbors shitty CB radio plus linear through my landline, TV, radio and microwave oven.
I eventually put a pin through his coax, which apparently burned out his linear. Ha Ha!
Uncle Charlie is useless and basically toothless. They only wrote the letter because TMobile was involved. Unless you have a HAM licence to protect you can, more or less, ignore them.

Yep:
Pants on head wrong! You clearly don't 'code'.
No. Just no.
Peak is A problem, not THE problem.
Why aren't they higher voltage?
There are a bunch of practical limits on voltage. 1kv/inch for dirty insulator surfaces. 10kvDC/inch for humid air.
You can safely assume they aren't running at a low voltage now by choice.

Flash is a Diva, Enos is getting promoted.
Q: Do you know how I know you can't code for shit? A: You think the coding is the hard part.

Only thing I've got (worth mentioning) is the prerelease, developer version, of the original Amiga. Most of the docs too.
_Everybody_ knows they're shitholes, not even in dispute. Politicians are supposed to be more diplomatic.

Very true. No 'self driving' car company has even _started_ developing to FAA standards.
Do you think you're funny or something?
I've got bad news, you're just stupid.
But first the IPO.
A charter Cessna has to be maintained/inspected to a higher standard than a private Cessna. They do exist, mostly in Alaska.
No.

Luxury...
It's illegal to take money for flights in private planes. Even having someone pay for fuel is a grey area, careful how you phrase the transaction.
The extra licensing/maintenance to operate as a charter is a big expense. Not going to happen.
At 1700 MB/s the right question is: How many will it take to keep up with the current growth rate of the LOP.

He should invest some of that FAT bitcoin money in a kw linear. They'll be happy when he goes back to just mining.
What does the word 'included' mean to you? Look it up moron.
