I've always wondered about the aggregate effect of wind pressure across the length of the cable. It seems like it could be significant.

Be wary of an architect who hands you anything and tells you to implement it. Real architects talk to you and sit down and write code with you.

I think it is fairer to say that tests can specify a system but not to the extent that you personally want to.

I'd prefer to live in a society where things like this were a matter of research rather than pronouncements by bureaucrats:

I'm still not sure what the legal rationale is for treating link publication as copyright violation. When you publish a link, you are not copying anything, the person following the link is.

By analogy, a person who told people that Tarantino's script was under a box behind a grocery store would be violating copyright.

To me it's odd to see an article talk about empathy as a skill or a thing you can do. I've always thought being empathy as something you are at a feeling level.

I did some looking a while ago and discovered that psychologists distinguish a couple of different kinds of empathy. One is when you intellectually try to figure out how someone feels - the other is when you just feel it.
