I wonder how they tackle the problem of monoculture.

The issue with biofuel from algae is that once the container is contaminated with fungae, it reqires expensive draining and bleaching.

Dear Denis, now lets do something, seriously.

From the money I saved from programming I have bought an old shop and turning it now into an art gallery and a party space.

In the last few months I learned lot about plaster boards, concrete, garbage disposal, construction law, etc.

Today at evening is the opening. My friend and colleague is a haykyo photographer. He is exhibiting his photos, 40 people will come.

I wonder if there are any public APIs for those "TSDB, TIDE, CLASS, KSTF, TECS, IBIS, TUSCAN, TACTICS" etc. databases. Would be interesting to look at the data. What are the acronyms?

The April Jokes season is starting early this year.

Could it be that Jay is hopelessly overqualified for this job? Whatever this position would be.

I assume the sweet positions for algorithm tweaking and HTML/CSS development from scratch are already taken by core Amazon engineers. Well protected holy grail. Perhaps they are looking for is a junior expendable wheel in some sub-project, and not a person actually capable of re-creating Amazon from scratch.

Jay's qualifications seem for me quite senior. He appears to be more suitable for IT lead of a startup or a member of a think tank of a more intimate company.

Collateral damage?

Do not they having cushons, overprovisions, dummy weights, tolerance ranges to account for unexpected spec changes?

I imagine the systems are very complex, so the components are made modular, defining functionality and specs (size, weight, mass balance) and letting the implementation details to subcontractors.

While the subcontractor fullfills the contractual functionality, any eastereggs can be discovered only in a very late phase (qc, assembly), upon delivery.

The wording "discovery was reported" can be read as if it was a surprise discovery for all.

There was a saying, which goes something like "If you want something to be accomplished, give it to the busiest colleague."

Why is it so?

Thanks, you caught me in my incompetency. The standard gravity on Moon it supposed to be.
