Brakes tend to be one of the easiest jobs going. Disk brakes maybe 10 minutes or so Drum brakes can take a bit longer. It is not a hard job. At least the dust is less toxic these days.
What the OP is alluding to is working on the code that controls things like the ABS, not the physical brakes themselves.
We need to audit the auditors of the auditors as well.
So it's auditors all the way down?

Wasn't the NSA accused of suggesting/modifying various encryption standards in order to weaken them? In which case they don't need back doors into the software as they can already unlock the data.
There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to prohibit us from visiting Cuba and spending money there.

Technically there is no travel ban. You are just prohibited from spending money or receiving gifts in Cuba without a government license.
From United States embargo against Cuba
The current regulation does not prohibit travel by U.S. citizens to Cuba per se, but it makes it illegal for U.S. citizens to have transactions (spend money or receive gifts) in Cuba under most circumstances without a US government Office of Foreign Assets Control issued license.[21] Since even paying unavoidable airfare ticket taxes into a Cuban airport would violate this transaction law, it is effectively impossible for ordinary tourists to visit Cuba without breaking the monetary transaction rule.
Well, if we'd be in - say - September, that article would clearly indicate slashdot has been severely hacked.

The "OMG Ponies!" day was the best, but I'm liking the posts so far and found this amusing.
Yes they are amusing, but that is not what April fools day is about. It is supposed to be about (in western parlance - I'm not sure about other cultures) things from fooling you into believing something that isn't so all the way to outright pie in the face (ponies)
What we have here is someone not quite getting what the day is meant to about and as a result most of us are cringing rather than laughing.
I agree

Given that I am not a rocket scientist I just realized that I made an assumption about satellites in geosync orbits - that I don't know if the inclination of the earth is such that a satellite in a geosync orbit is always in sunlight.
This stupid idea gets floated every few years. It doesn't work, even in theory. Do the math yourself.

I just took a look at that site, and while in general I agree with his conclusions, I am perplexed by some of the math that he uses.
For example I do not see why Tg is different for ground based versus space based systems, and why it so not eliminated as per the E term (and why is Tg higher for a space based system?). And the links he supplied for the lifetime of space based cells are frankly puzzling to me as I cannot see anything in them that backs up his assertions (which is different from saying his assertions are false).
In addition while a space based system has issues with transmission and degradation, he leaves out the fact that a space based PV system operates 24/7 with continuous output compared to an earth based system that has to deal with the vagaries of weather and that pesky thing called "night". Thus an Earth based PV system will always have to have additional non-PV infrastructure in order to deliver comparable energy delivery. So that will also change the overall economics.
The WH has plenty of very secure infrastructure but you can't see it because it is underground.
And all the stuff rumored to be on the roof as well.
Nobody would be working on methane-fueled rocket engines if they didn't have a long-term goal of colonizing Mars.
Or they might have invested heavily in cattle ranches a la Thunderdome in order to leverage a source of Methane that is currently going to waste.
