  1. Re:I Wouldn't on Beware Your Online Presence · · Score: 1

    If I was an employer, only two things would really concern me. One, the candidates competance and skill at performing the required labour, and two, the amount of compensation the candidate was willing to perform the labour for.

    As long as you can do the job you get paid to do, there isn't a whole lot else that concerns me. Maybe I'd have some limits. Clearly anything untoward done on company time is grounds for dismissal. Probably murdering someone outside office hours would make me think again about having you on company premises. But realistically, I not going to waste my time or money googling you on the internet, and if I found any HR person had done the same, they would quickly find their job vacant.

  2. they are already on their way... on Will Our Cars Become Our Chauffeurs? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I teach car control as part of a high-speed driving course at a local race track. One day I was on the skidpad with a student driving his new Boxster. I put him into several oversteer situations, and he gracefully corrected out of each one. Then I noticed the PSM (Porsche Stability Management) light was on. I turned off PSM and found that the driver could not correct to save his life - literally.

    Many modern cars are already taking us out of the loop somewhat. In many cases that's a good thing.

    When cars become autonomous. I'll be combing /. for a hack around it.

    Also, resistors come in standard values - 100, 220, 330, 470, etc. So if you decide to substitute a 6V battery for the 9V, you'll find you need an 80 ohm resistor, which isn't easily available. It's okay to substitute a 100 ohm resistor.

    Happy building!
