Thus we move into the next-level hell that is hoteling. In all seriousness, the possibility of telecommuting is used to excuse even skimpier office accommodations for the unfortunate souls who remain.
Architect here, this is the correct answer. Open plan offices are far more space efficient than cubes, to say nothing of the enormous costs of actual separate rooms.
The thing that people don't seem to realize is that this was almost always the case for peons, look at offices from the early part of the 20th century: They are just open rooms with desks. Cubicles were actually an upgrade.
I'm extremely skeptical that plants can grow at mars surface pressure, and the website has no data whatsoever. I had hope that someone would have actual info about what they were doing, but I guess I'm thinking of an older version of slashdot.
Using mercenaries is not a new thing for the US military, especially in "non-combat" roles. Generally they prefer ones that previously had US military service. Dollars to donuts the drone pilots this company has are all ex-military, who mustered out and are now looking at doing their same job for twice the pay with half the oversight.
He's not saying that other departments need separate subscriptions to this journal, but that they have their own journals they need to pay for as well. So in the end you are talking about hundreds of these fees accumulating for each student regardless of who is using the resource.
Commercial speech and private speech have always been separate. As a citizen I can broadcast Chinese propaganda all I want, or pay others to do it, as a long as it's on my dime. That's my speech. However, when I take money from the Chinese to broadcast their content, I'm not protected by private speech laws. That's the government of China's speech, and they aren't guaranteed jack shit under the constitution.
Yes but the fad idea was introduced by the CEO, and the holacracy allowed a single employee to challenge it, which is the exactly the opposite of what you remembered.
This has nothing to do with patents, and everything to do with FDA regulations. You can make it by the truckload, fine, but the minute you sell one as a drug (i.e. for its intended purpose) you are risking jail. The patent on meth ran out a long time ago too, doesn't mean you can make it.
Explain how locating and transporting 11 million people, who by their very nature are not on record, is going to be "easy" and "cheap". While you're at it, explain how you will do this without accidentally capturing and transporting US citizens.
On the downside, this will make shuffling people and resources around between their different projects much more difficult, and likewise will make it harder for ideas to get heard that don't pertain to the current business division.
So you only have one coworker you can count on? Maybe if your company decides to keep a bunch of slackers and fuckoffs in the organization you should consider going somewhere with better management, rather than patting yourself on the back about how much better you are than said slackers.
I live in the DC area. So about a month back, my parents were visiting. we went to a restaurant that was not terribly near to either our home or their hotel. As the weekend metro was being the weekend metro, we decided to cab back to our respective locations. I called an Uber for them since I figured it would be easiest. Since you can only dispatch one Uber per account, me and my wife had to take a cab. Looking at the difference between those two rides is why I stopped taking cabs.
My parents uber arrived promptly, it was clean and comfortable. It took them to their destination quickly, and the pricing was transparent and conveniently billed to my card.
When my wife and I finally hailed a cab, it was dirty, and the air conditioning was broken (It was about 90 F) The front seat had been pushed back as far as possible, and was in fact kind of bowed. The driver attempted to take some odd circuitous route back to our home until I asked him to take a more direct route. When we got there he tried to get us to pay cash.
This was an extreme example, but it made me think of all the other negative experiences I'd had with cabs in the city, they have been on the whole uncomfortable, inconsistent, dirty, poorly maintained, and discourteous (including drivers that pulled away as soon as they heard where I was going). At that point I realized that Uber was a better option. The worst Uber experience I've had so far was one that smelled slightly strange. For my area, it really is no contest, Uber is just better than the cabs.
They are placing them in a different market, one that is becoming oversaturated, and in fact are having trouble renting them Investors are speculating on luxury apartments in a way that is exceeding demand. In the end you can come to some kind of equilibrium, where they are renting luxury apartments for very low returns to people who are paying far more rent than they would choose to if there was a better alternative available, but by that point you've already blown through the capital (and land) that could have been used to create what was actually needed.
This is spot on. My wife once bought a pack of homeopathic pills despite being a very intelligent person, simply because they were next to the actual medicines and advertised the remedies she was looking for. Since she wasn't even aware of homeopathy in general, the 10x and 100x notations on the back in the very official looking drug facts label meant nothing to her.
I personally don't see how the sale of these things could be blocked, since they don't actually contain anything harmful, but they should be prevented from sharing the labeling used by actual medicine. It is somewhat dismaying that there is more scrutiny given to health claims on beer labels than on products placed in the pharmacy.
So your logic is that if it weren't for the internet, we would have convicted a bunch people for a crime they didn't commit. And you want this changed, so people have more freedom to confess to things they didn't do?
You are absolutely right, you can't make raw materials out of thin air, and introducing 3D printers just means there are a more raw materials being added to the mix.However, I'm going to jump off this comment to make a counterpoint: 3D printing has the possibility to make specialized finished goods as fungible as raw materials. Rather than worrying whether a person needs a shoe, a splint or a crutch, you can just send the raw plastic and the printer and figure it out on a case by case basis, which could be both faster and more efficient. It simplifies not only the logistics of bringing things into the area, but distribution as well. It's not uncommon in disasters for needed supplies to be in the affected zone, but in the wrong area with no available transport, or forgotten entirely. If you are making the goods as needed, this becomes less of a problem.
That all said, 3D printing is just not yet nearly fast or versatile enough to be helpful in disasters, outside of a few specialized niches.

Yes, and any Russian project is going to be beset by graft and corruption. Look how much the Sochi Olympics cost.
