I sometimes ask questions and get 'What would you do if there was no one to ask?' and 'What would you do if there was no Google?' and I would like to understand this. Should I have everything rote memorized? Should everything I do be a bespoke solution?
Perhaps the blogger is not aware that, even if the tons of documentation and data in the National Archives were lost, there are three actual rockets on display across the country, and a good number of stored spare engines and other components. Ars Technica recently ran a story on reverse engineering an F-1 engine to aid in the design of a new heavy lift engine.
The issues appear to be symptoms of the gamification employed by the site. There are users with high scores that are eager to protect their position, and dominance of their particular subject area. These users are putting their scores on their resumes and online profiles to advance their careers. You could create your own new stack overflow site focused on helping beginners.
Different types of entities, such as incorporation, subchapter-S corp, and so on, might offer different degrees and types of legal protection. Talk to a lawyer and consider your options.
Should be 'Large wind tunnel model of proposed design revealed', no new aircraft is being introduced. Looks a bit like Thunderbird 2, if you go back that far.
Middle men don't like confronting their own mortality. If Tesla succeeds, they can't sink their fangs into the revenue stream. If Tesla really succeeds over a longer period of time, the other car makers might start getting ideas.
Talk to a dev and let them determine how 'simple' your idea is to implement. 'It's simple, I just want a bridge for cars and trains and pedestrians, between these two points separated by a half mile of ocean. I'll pay you when the first car reaches the other side.'
If the company never is sold and never goes public, you will likely be holding worthless options. That's the risk you take with startups. Also, imho, if the offer is not written, there is no offer.
Logical paths might be connected to your development work. Clients, vendors, or other related companies might know you and be interested in hiring you.
You could right-click on the link and view where it goes. Do you become suspicious from your toddler's click? Yes, yes you do. Not actionable in itself, but it will be on your secret file you can't see, forever.
It's not strange when you are familiar with the behavior of large bureaucracies. In doing this they are able to say they replied to the FOIA request, and satisfied the letter of that law. The request was for a document, and the document was provided.
There was sensitive information in the document that happened to be 100% of the contents, this was redacted. They now cannot be sued for not responding.
The business model of selling rides, which the Zeppelin company operates in Europe, didn't work out for recent startup Airship Ventures, even though there are more good weather days for flying in California.
Unfortunately, the bad economy, combined with the price of helium rising 10x in the last few years, eroded the business model to the point where they could no longer operate. Afaik their ship was disassembled and shipped back to Germany.
Mail checks for messages on launch and at intervals by itself. If the user doesn't know the gesture, they still get their messages. If the design blocks the user, then it's a problem. It is also very easy to trip over the feature by scrolling the list.
Many of the Apollo astronauts still make themselves available to the public, and they appear at collector events where they will sign autographs for a small fee. More than fair considering what their government pay must have been in the 60's... Go and meet them while you still can!
Devs should be required to _test_ on that older machine, and benchmarks should be recorded and distributed, to keep everyone aware of the base-supported-config performance.
The software can also suck from hundreds of hours of time being wasted by the older gear. If your competitors don't think the same way, you have a problem.
There are offshore companies that will do 'photoshop work' for $5 or $10 per image. As excellent as his skills are, most clients do not understand the difference.
It won't import FCP7 files, but it opens iMovie files.
no support for any tape based capture or export, save some Firewire devices.
no third-party (playback, output, e.g., Kona) hardware support,
no third-party codec support.
No third party video plugin support.
you cannot send or receive an EDL or XML file for online editing or finishing.
(apparently) cannot apply (audio) effects, volume, and pan settings to a track.
No multitrack audio recording
I like some of the new ideas, but I think I'll be clutching my FCP 7 for a while yet.
Google style is SGI's old campus - and the rest of that whole office park, essentially. You can walk around the streets, and some of the manhole covers have GOOGLE molded into them.
