The vast majority of the time, boats don’t use active sonar. Whilst giving a high resolution view of what’s around them, it also allows any other signals collector (often defined as an enemy aggressor) to accurately pinpoint the location and deploy countermeasures, even if only updating threat assessments. Ultra detailed charts are used that have the terrain mapped. Occasional positional fixes when a boat surfaces can be used to ‘reset’ where they thought they were whilst running silent.

The current exchange rate for ¥1,000 for the UK is £6.60, or $8.93 Given the prep, ingredients and distribution I’m intrigued what the margin is. It also makes me wonder whether this has scaled in any way. The article makes it feel like this is a singular machine - that’s a lot of work involved to only stock one location. I wondered whether this was a way of a caterer that serviced airlines (Air France would have similar offerings in First class and potentially business class), but Kyoto is farther away from the airports than other more obvious places to put such a machine like Osaka or Tokyo. So I figure this is ‘extra’ output from one of the French restaurants in Kyoto. It’s fascinating and I very much would like to try it.

Agreed. I was recently (6 months) diagnosed as an adult with ADHD. The experiences of the parent are in line with mine.

Looks to be a water treatment centre. On a rather large scale.

The definition of Overtime is actually getting paid, yes? The law I am referring to over in the E.U is actually working, full stop - paid or not. I am at a position where I am not paid any overtime - I'm still not allowed to be present at work for more than 70 hours a week. Does nothing like this exist in the U.S? As in, you could technically work 168 hours with no legal ramifications?

I posted this in the other thread about his hours:

Being a manager and accutely aware of legal ramifications of hours worked (boring I know), does anyone have any insight into whether there is something in the US akin to the European Worktime Directive? Over here (UK, but the E.U as a whole) the average working week is 40 hours by law, and the worker must opt in to be eligble to work upto a maximum of 70 hours per week. As well as this 70 hour maximum, 11 hours must be taken between end of work one day and start of work the next, and an entire 24 hour period of non-work must be taken once every 7 days, or alternativley a period of 48 hours of non-work must be taken in a 14 day period.

Any comments?

Edit--my spelling is rather shakey.

Just to test my understanding on this sentence (I have re-read it 4 times now), JGC is saying that if Kissinger was a programmer, he would be saying "sex is better than power"? I think I have totally missed the meaning of this - could someone please point it out to me?

For me, the point of interest comes from locking down a blueprint distribution model. Everyone can print certain items depending on their access to raw materials/power/specification of fab, but depending on how much they pay for the 'blueprints' will be the difference between generic and premium branding with every tiny difference in between.

Hey there. Like many others, I lived in Thailand for a number of months, boxing. I don't have too much advice regards the housing.

I do however have some advice regarding your time there. Be very aware that no matter where you go, you will be perceived as well off. You will (seriously) be batting women away left right and centre. Very pretty women who see you as their ticket out of there.

If you do gain a girlfriend, don't be surprised that your money will go nowhere as far as you had hoped. Scooters, money for family, eating out more - all will make their way into your life very quickly.

It's easy to say it will never happen to you - you don't have to go looking for a partner out there. They will find you and persue you. For Western men, this can be a huge change from the generally more entitled women of the West. Please excuse my asumptions that you are interested in females - I don't know if the same is true for Thai men.

The Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F Hamilton will absolutely rock your world, going by what you are asking for. After this, go for The Commonwealth Saga by the same author. You really, really are missing out on a treat, but the best thing is that you have around 6,000 pages worth of epic space opera waiting for you in those books, and I envy the fact that you have all of them still to read - as quickly as you want!

I would find it very enlightening to find out what kind of organisation system he used for his trades/paperwork. Did he have a stash somewhere where he could store documents? Did he have a PO Box?

How would people on HN organise themselves without any permanent address...or by the looks of it, laptop/smart phone/access to computer, whilst tending to a portfolio that would end up being in excess of $4 million?

From a UK point of view - I left University in 2001. I finished paying off my student loan this month. And this is strictly because I have a very well paying job (I believe that you do not start paying off the loan until you earn >£18k per annum). The job I have has nothing to do with my degree (getting a First in Multimedia Design and Virtual Reality didn't count for a lot 10 months after those 767's got flown into the towers). However, I do believe, had I chosen to do a degree that was actually useful, I may have felt that higher education was the only way. As it is, I could have got a job at 18, arrived where I am now at 26 instead of 31 and then got my company to put me through a degree at their expense. Not done much research, but if there was an option to study a large amount of entrepreneurialism at degree level, then this would really float my (and a lot of other peoples) boat.

Several years on smaller routes, yes. But ultimately, they will not bother type rating any new pilots on the 717, move as many over to the 737 as possible (not forgetting the 65 extra 737's that Southwest will be getting from the deal) and the 717 will die it's own death. Whether Southwest choose to then go for another smaller (90 - 100 seat) option is the really interesting question. Possibly if Boeing decided to step into the A318 market, then it could be a go - type ratings could be transfered down to the smaller jets, and commonality would keep costs down.
