Garman was one of the first PMs at AWS. He was sent over to lead Sales/Marketing relatively recently to get demand side experience presumably in preparation to take over as CEO.
I wonder if part of the motivation in releasing this is legitimizing the Flipper as a hobby/development product and not a tool for crime, as it’s been depicted in media recently. I personally appreciate the Flipper in that it’s shedding light on how insecure common RF technology is.
The issue you mentioned is why I can’t use the Plex client for playback. I use Infuse which handles seeking fine so clearly it’s not an unsolvable problem. Crazy Plex hasn’t addressed it.
Lots of peoples reaction to this is that suicide is always bad when done by firearm because it’s gruesome or frightening to them. I would ask that these people introspect and ask if their own emotions and biases are leading them to this conclusion. If the goal here is to let people live and die on their own terms, then this seems like a particularly hypocritical take. I think to many, suicide by gun is favorable as more immediate, private, and time and place are entirely within your own control.
If you’re interested in genomics I’d recommend working for a commercial entity in clinical/translational genomics side rather than in academia. I have worked for a few of the big names in the space and although they had their problems the work was very rewarding as you’re closer to the patient impact.
Renewable energy investment makes up about 80% of investment in the power sector, and annual increases continue to outpace oil and gas investment (this year may be weird because of the Energy crisis in Europe). Renewables are not everywhere today because it takes time for the industry to mature and for utilization to increase, not because there is a conspiracy by Big Oil to somehow control investment flows.
Always been fascinating to me as an American to see how hunting and shooting gear is marketed and sold in Europe. It’s closer to luxury goods retail than the American experience where it’s all generally treated as sporting equipment no matter if it’s at a “luxury” price point.
Ya, their predicted descent velocity/lethality is not right. Most ammunition will destabilize and begin to tumble long before it reaches its peak as it transitions from supersonic to subsonic.
My guess would be the dangerous situation here is intoxicated people shooting up in the air but then also in other directions in a careless inebriated state.
and if you make it to Washington Island, also worth checking out the boathouse on neighboring Rock Island if you like cool buildings built by Scandinavians.
Certification is the process of getting an aircraft design/model approved by the FAA for sale/use. There are 3 phases for GA commercially available aircraft, type certification (design approved), production certification (manufacturing approved), and airworthiness certification (plane tested, and ready for sale to the public)
Usually when someone says a plane has received its certification they mean it’s ‘airworthiness certification’, so the final approval by the FAA.
The government is naturally incentivized to maximize revenue. Individuals are incentivized to pay as little tax as they can, legally. Private tax prep software is pretty aggressive about identifying all possible deductions to reported income. The government would not be as motivated in designing their own system. You can see this in the paper filing forms, they have detailed instructions, but almost nothing on how to reduce tax paid, besides things like the child tax credit and earned income tax credit.
Humans are pretty unique in being (relatively) hairless and sweating as our primary method of keeping cool. Sweat invited bacteria and traps dirt. I’m no anthropologist but I’d guess manual bathing became a regular thing when early humans developed these traits.
Ronnie Barrett’s story might interest you, he was working as a photographer when he began development on what would become the M82 rifle. His company is now well known in both the commercial and .gov small arms world.
At a federal level in the US, licensing for traditional weapons development (outside of nuke/chem/bio) is pretty accessible and relatively cheap. Dual use tech and services work mostly just like any other consumer startup. The marketing and sales/RFP process for the government is what’s unique.
