I'm old enough to have owned a lot of paper books at one point, but as a Kindle owner and person who moves every few years, I no longer own any physical books. For fiction and non-fiction prose, I find an e-reader to be strictly superi

Yes, it is effective. We have several NASA/NOAA satellites with IR instruments on them that are used for fire detection. These are obviously much more useful for detecting fires that start in very rural areas under moderate conditions.

Yep, 3 separate fires. The first in West LA blew up late yesterday afternoon and blew through a bunch of residential areas by the looks of it. From watching Flight Radar, it seems to be getting most of the air resources, although that could

I don't know of any such service, but I'm curious what the value is for you? IMO picking the parts is a lot harder than putting them together.

Who would you nominate? The US certainly has severe problems with racism, but everything I've ever read about other countries has led me to believe that this isn't actually a totally implausible claim.

Can you elaborate? I'm honestly at a loss as to what you're suggesting? Is it just that we should have extremely long jail sentences and/or executions for petty crimes, or is there some other option I'm missing?

The idea would be to engineer a product that is both a low-capacity battery and an air tag.

Am I crazy, or is 45 seconds a really long time? My current cheapish grinder does 18g in ~25 seconds. If anything I would expect/want a better grinder to grind faster. Is the slow grind rate intentional?

Do you mean silicon or silicone? The former isn't a very good candidate for flexible cable insulation. The later is a form of plastic.

I don't think anyone who has never used an espresso machine is in the target market for this product. I own an espresso machine that costs a bit more than this thing, but it took me several steps along the way to get to the point where

Is it really? How many home users are really spending that much on an espresso machine? As someone who owns a ~$1000 machine (Profitec Go), I definitely feel like the $500-$1000 range is "end game" for the vast majority of people,

Sorry I can't look at your product page from work, but am I getting the correct impression that this machine doesn't have a boiler? If so, my (meant in good fun) suggestion is that you have in fact designed half an espresso machin

If I'm understanding the OP correctly, the C standard says so, i.e. the semantics of memcpy are defined by the standard and the standard says that it's UB to pass NULL.

C++20 is still fairly new. There are places where C++98 is still in use as c++11 is considered too cutting edge.

Centurylink ran fiber down the nearest highway to my rural Oregon property a couple of months before Starlink became available. AFAIK the timing was more coincidence than anything, but you're entirely right about the logistics of fiber

Starlink signals are essentially line of sight right now. The bump up in power to penetrate even a single layer of drywall is almost certainly way outside the power budget of a Starlink satellite.
