It is true; the NOTAMs list the systems as inoperative; I am not sure exactly which components were off, or if everything was, but the landing was visual.
A whole lot of other cities have the same problems, but it doesn't always make the headlines. Most cities are smart enough to have a back-up cell phone policy that is marginally functional (20-30% capacity on a good day). Things get worse when multiple sites are required for coverage due to topography.
Many of these sites are over 50 years old. They might have been upgraded over the years, but there are a lot of parts to be maintained-- generators, batteries, grounding, uplinks, and the radios themselves. Many are in very remote locations as well, often without year-round vehicular access.
I know of one city that had a major outage because the utility breaker tripped, the generator started and ran for two days, and eventually shut down due to fuel exhaustion. Nobody at the NOC knew that the generator was running.
Technically, no they aren't treating every individual as a criminal, or even as a person of interest. What they are doing is saying that with all of this data we can find the "bad" people more easily.
The problem with this is that "bad" is a very subjective term, and changes based on politics, money, and power-- which are all arguably the same thing.
The following is an interesting paper on the perfect enforcement of law. http://jolt.richmond.edu/v14i4/article13.pdf - quite ironically written by someone with the last name of "Mulligan."
Can I just get the toolbars back in Office!? Random interface changes just piss people off. I understand the utility of having options and making things universal, but I just can't figure the ribbon out for the life of me. It is bad enough that they took so many of the keyboard shortcuts away (at least for the Mac version), but it really makes it a pain to navigate three levels of menus to do something often.
Interestingly (or not), my biggest complaint with the ribbon is trying to work with other people who don't know Excel as well as I and trying to show them how to do something.
The risk is that you don't just develop a product, you need to market it, actually get paid by people for using it, manage other people, pay other people before actually having any cash flow, etc.
Start-up capital doesn't reduce risk, it creates a buffer on cashflow.
Risk tolerance is what differentiates an entrepreneur. A *successful* entrepreneur also needs discipline and vision.
I don't completely agree with either parent or GP: hybrid drives are gaining popularity for a number of reasons, and the water viscosity makes regenerating viable despite the prop. FischerPanda used to hae some good material, but I can't find it anymore on their website. Basically, you get a 1kt penalty when running at 8kt if I recall correctly, and you can charge a good size battery bank in a couple hours. You also have a system with plenty of power and don't need an auxiliary engine when cruising.
For the GP, the best gains are really in ships designed for electric drive-- optimized drive location, optimized generator location, bow thrusters, etc. They will be more expensive, but if you eliminate the auxiliary it might be worth it. Catamarans can see huge benefits, as either generator can run both drives at reduced output, rather than needing to compensate with rudder.
In the arena of Architectural Engineering, ex-military types are generally sought after for Commissioning work. You need to be competent "enough" on the engineering side, but the focus is on process and troubleshooting. We tend not to hire ex military folks for engineering design roles based on a bias that their creativity has been stifled. (On a case-by case basis of course.)
But, pay would be better working as an airline pilot if you have your hours. You really need to be exceptional to hit $135k as a CxA.
The boat is interesting, but to me mainly in the sense of where hybrid-electric propulsion can go. PV is a fairly impractical choice for 100% of power, but showing it as possible moves the state of the art further. The lithium batteries would scare the shit out of me though in the middle of the Atlantic. Sure you can have fire suppression and you have at least two independent strings... which is arguably more redundancy than a sailboat with one mast and no engine... But...
Many of the backlight control boards are only 400Hz carrier for efficiency. If you are dimming to 10% that is 20Hz pulses, which is the range for problems. Changing the current changes the color temperature of the backlight, distorting colors. Adjustable backlight color temperature therefore further complicates matters, since they need part of the dimming range to compensate for the current change.
It can be improved, but it is a cost/efficiency/performance trade off
If you hold the copyright, you can choose to license it however you want. What is untested in court is if a license change can retroactively apply to a fork.
I do actually appreciate the value HFT brings to liquidity as a market maker. When I trade, I want to use a limit price rather than a market order, and see my orders filled within 5-10 minutes so I know if I need to adjust my price before I go to work or whatever; trading small-cap stocks I appreciate that it doesn't work quite this way in all markets.
What I have a problem with is the other games that HFT plays with algorithmic trading. Edging out arbitrage on a narrow buy/sell spread is much different than playing momentum with fast trades to disrupt the market for financial gain.
Theoretical life vs commercial life. There are plenty of A340-500/600s that have no remaining commercial value beyond parts, with less than 6-7 years of service.
And as for the/. summary, it is a carbon skin on Al-Li frame for the fuselage, not a carbon fuselage.
What do you think a corporation is? If we just switched the term corporation to business would your suggestion start to fall apart? When an author/artist dies, so does their copyright?
Let's pretend I make a movie. The day before release, the individual assigned for the copyright is shot. Can my competitors now charge admission to replay my movie?
The real problem is just duration, not the entity holding the piece of paper. You could argue the need for a moral copyright beyond a commercial copyright, but I think you end up on the same slippery slope.
Yup. Your current position sounds like a trap. You need to either diversify income sources or add skills or something, assuming you aren't ready for retirement. If you are 45-50, it seems like those are the danger years.
If I was in your shoes I would get a realtor's license.
Our attitude with interns is that it is our marketing opportunity to get them after graduation. Intern status gives time and a half overtime, but no benefits and 30-35% pay cut relative to a entry level full-time employee. The full time employees have exempt status and only get straight-time overtime.
BUT, there are cases where interns should not be paid. We have taken people on as a favor to friends, so their value is MUCH lower, and their pay needs to be as well. You can't pay someone less than minimum wage though, so where is the balance?
The internal video can handle (3) 4k displays. Sure, someone might want six... but Apple is providing pretty high-end graphics at least relative to my needs and everything short of a NOC that for some reason must have all displays driven from a single tube.
Sadly, the only thing I can pick on is how you integrate accessories with it. Do you go with a round RAID array that is 12" diameter, 3" high, and has 16 or (32) 2.5" drive bays around a central core just so you can have the little bugger actually look like a Cray? Do you create a speaking digital assistant with a little blower-man on the top? Can you put it on its side, pair it with a second unit, and use it as a base for your monitor like those advertisement trucks? The possibilities really are endless!
Some applications might be a stretch for the new Pro, and some might not look so cool with conventional accessories. There are other options they might have been able to add on to ease the transition, but at least the message is clear: you have Thunderbolt, USB3, and dual copper Ethernet. That is it, have at it, or don't.
But their only moral standing is their support of the monarchy. Without that, all they have is guns. It works either way, but the latter gives cause for their power to be challenged.
It is more in the military's interests to promote the king than the king himself. The military wants to marginalized democratic (read money) influence in national politics. The king isn't that long for this earth...
Do you not think that Microsoft is in nearly the same position as Oracle?! C# might have a number of short-term benefits, but you will end up in the same spot sooner than later.
The building is effectively a pre-cast bridge standing on end, presumably with post-tensioning strands locking all the blocks together and to the foundation. Three months from breaking ground to occupancy would be a bit hard for me to believe, but three months to topping out I can almost believe. You wouldn't be able to tension the first vertical strands until about 35 days into construction, best-case, but I imagine they would be stacked to about 20% height by then-- that would seem to be your highest risk period.
More power to them if they pull it off. The logistics would be amazing to see.

In fairness, the shrapnel aspect of it does extend the purpose beyond "blowing something up."
I guess a pipe bomb is the same thing now... shame this is what the US has come to.

No, it is a function of the battery chemistry. You have LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, LiFePO4, and others, each with different charge voltages. A good read: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/types_of_lithium_ion
