Network. It's the only way to get anywhere in life, other than luck.

thanks

My son is 13 years old and has been training to be a pilot since he was 11. He has taken off and landed a small airplane (with the PIC in the airplane with him, of course) quite a few times. It just goes to show that landing an airplane isn't as difficult as some people think it is ... it just requires focus and passion. Both of which my son has in spades when he's flying an airplane.

This news story struck me as wonderful news. My son has wanted to be a pilot since he was three years old. If you are one of the lucky few (I am not) who knew what he wanted to be for his whole life, then I envy you as much as I envy my son for having a singular great dream. The notion of drones and computerized pilots scares me because it threatens that dream. Stories in which autopilots and drones are slandered make me happy.

And yet almost none of them are compelling :(

Erase the hate. Not everyone shares your nostalgia. I for one welcome the 48000 pixels they are throwing up there. Hard to argue that they should have stuck with the 3000 star awesome looking "star generator" instead of the new 2000000 star generator that they have in addition to all those 8k projectors.

no, capitalism CAN do things efficiently, but there is no mechanism to ensure that it DOES do things efficiently.

thanks for droppin knowledge! Definitely going to check that book out!

did you get an MBA?

hard and fast rules are always wrong.

#2 is a crucial point that most people don't realize. One form is Jury Nullification.

You shouldn't be doing this, regardless of who knows.

At least with Sharia law you get tried first. Our law just lets a bomb fall on you with no warning, all because you're a military aged male in the wrong place at the wrong time :(

This passes for writing nowadays? "But as kitsch as Klebb's cleaver clogs might seem"

Overblown is the word that came to mind when I read their jokes about how the only way to be successful is to yell then see her response about how they are threatening people. Actually, a phrase came to mind: WHAT THE FUCK? Then she blathers on about "professionalism"? At least Linus kept it funny with his remark about being in his home office in his bath robe!! And really awesome that Linus expounds the view that organizing around individual quirks and natural "fits" is the key to success!!

he has a free speech right to say this to foreigners that trumps ITAR?
