I heard pressure testing of the carbon fiber wasn't done. They relied on sensors to detect delamination instead. In software engineering, a component is both created and unit tested with tests on relevant functionality. Delamination sensors are poor compensation for a missing test. They probably didn't test the delamination sensors, either.
This is an explosion of red flags that should be viewed with extreme skepticism.
It keeps being said: you must eat only what is needed to fuel your body for the activity you are doing in an average day.
By the time someone acquires the maturity to accept this, their lifestyle has been too deeply established for change to be possible.
Personally, I feel the difference between alcohol and marijuana intoxication to be so different, it doesn't necessarily follow that the same rules should apply.
Anonimnity is fake. Assume your conversations in Slack are reviewed, don't be mean and sneaky, and you're all set. If you're a true dick irl, Slack will only serve to magnify that fact.
The system isn't ready for prime time, but apparently it's a great way for CS to advertise!
Cities are so varied, and have such complex contextual traffic flow variations, that comparing two is an unhelpful oversimplification. What works for the Netherlands will not work for Boston. What works for Osaka will not work for Bangalore.
Frontpage, the tool of choice for boss's sons and nephews to help save money on a website design.
Don't direct people to bullshit bureaucratic snakeholes.
Glad this is happening. It's not fair to use DMs to form alliances against colleagues in order to increase one's bottom line. That is exactly what I've observed in agencies that run on Slack. If life is a game, this is a backdoor worth closing.
I think the superiority of the Netherlands when it comes to cycling is pretty clear, and has been for a long time. What bothers me about this superiority is the perceived need to point it out on a fairly regular basis.
It's very easy to look at one's fortunate circumstances and wonder why others can't replicate them, so why the constant incredulousness around how the Netherlands stands as an example that should be followed?
Perhaps shrinking every nation to the size and geographical structure of the Netherlands would help. Other nations could also raze their suburbs and reconstruct into quaint little villages with great respect for cyclists.
I find part of the entertainment value of sport to be the cat-and-mouse between two factions: journalists and competitors, and cheaters. No matter how much we deny it, this spectacle is the "meta-race" that gives these events real human drama.
One can imagine the reporter being vilified and accused of "bullying."
I will gleefully delete messenger as soon as I see an ad appear.
Propagandistic twaddle.
Guess I should pull down all my Flickr images and back them up.
This is another manifestation of delusional disorder.
Kafka was an insurance something-or-other...
The auto mechanics I've encountered are brilliant people. The next Nietzsche or Michelangelo will be an auto mechanic.
Stopped reading as soon as he shifted from a description of his horrific symptoms, to bragging about his intelligence and creativity. The dichotomy wasn't endearing, but I got it.
