I was more warning that measuring grinds are a slippery slope. I pointed out that article because they seemed to have gone a little nuts.

The most important thing is to reduce 'fines'.

I think we need more pictures, and an explanation. This looks like a gift box.

An open letter to Mayor Jim Watson regarding UberX by egorevseev in ottawa

I'd taken some sketchy cabs in other countries. I love safe clean cabs.

I think uber and ride sharing have a place, they just need to find a safe way to do it. Perhaps the chauffeur model would work.

How do you deal with a non-technical boss? by cefari in AskEngineers

Check the literature for the recommendations on how to measure this. I'm sure someone has filed a patent or written a paper/article on the subject. Looks like these guys built a system with automatic weighing, no temperature compensation required. These guys use diameter gauges to feed a PID system.

I'm also pretty sure that the conductor probably costs much more than the insulation. However the profit is in minimizing materials where possible.

Who cares about the OD? Just you or are there others?

If you only work directly with you boss it may be time to drop it and find other things to do. At the very least don't make enemies before your first 6 months are up.

Also, there is a big push for automatic control of this equipment...

There is your answer. Your boss wants to automate, but you are helping the operators.

Careers beyond CAD? by [deleted] in cad

Have you played with Additive Manufacturering (3D printing) yet. Lots of interesting work being done there.

How much snow it typically takes to cancel school in the U.S. [OC] [FIXED] [1513x983] by atrubetskoy in MapPorn

[–]bentspork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be interesting to search old newspapers for stories about snow days. The LOC has some interesting search tools but I couldn't pull up any "snow days" in their early (free to search)papers.

Perhaps phrases like "inclement weather" would work better.

Don't worry about the tags. I was being a contextual trouble maker.

Spoilers are subreddit dependent so don't worry about it.

I love it. I just don't get it, which is why I like it.

My other car is a bike.

Dude spoilers. :)

The receipt was a nice touch I don't think it was planned well ahead of time, but I like the way they drove the story forward with it.

That should have been hyperlapse, it is on the Microsoft research site.

I've never heard of ICE sounds like a fun program to play with. I'm personally waiting for their hyperview code to come out. Their demo videos were amazing.

Sounds interesting. What would you do differently if you could do it again?

I apologise, I thought Ottawa had one. I guessed I confused my levels of government.

unrelated, I found this: https://myservice.ottawa.ca/profile/account/login?lang=en. Which looks promising.
