I believe this is false. I have seen several sailing texts explicitly recommend the use of a retroreflector to improve the radar visibility of small fiberglass vessels.

I fail to see how making money by shafting the customer one way precludes making money by shafting the customer another way at the same time.

My understanding is that the earliest stars would have begun to form only a few hundred thousand years after the event and begun to explode not terribly long after that on account of their mass and rapid reaction rate, seeding the early uni

Yeah that's really interesting but information is exactly equivalent to energy and matter, with conservation relations and everything. Information which is not present in spacetime literally does not exist. That said, I invite you to c

Imagine the eager young minds' disappointment upon learning that, in fact, information theory has nothing at all to do with the thinly veiled radical feminist agenda the author has apparently substituted for the curriculum of the cours

I'm personally more annoyed that even with GPS disabled and denied to all applications Google Play Services enables it and samples the location randomly. It even brags on the status screen that it's doing it, like Google grabbing

Windows Mobile was the pinnacle of the smartphone experience. The release of the iPhone imo was the Eternal September of the mobile experience in so far as it was the tipping point wherein a demographic of users who didn't even need to

Price discovery is the goal of markets. The difference between efficient price discovery and advertising is roughly equivalent to the difference between efficient sexual reproduction and rape.

Have you... actually ordered from a restaurant that's done self-delivery for more than 5 minutes? I've never, not even once, seen the same driver from one of these services. This is a huge problem, because every mapping service di

The approaches I am referring to are indeed oversampled and occur in a "bump in the wire" or on a parallel data path. Moreover, the oversampling occurs at a much higher frequency than the maximum counter frequency of the FPGA -- e

Sure, why not? It's going to offer an incremental improvement in accuracy for the server's derived clock when the reference clock is not affected by that and other sources of jitter. Beyond the accuracy, the hardware is significan

The precision achievable with FPGAs is well beyond 10s of nanoseconds. The high rate transceivers are used with capacitative dividers or internal signal propagation delays defining the reference intervals for time to digital conversion in e

The uncontrollable and unobservable SMM interrupts of most modern CPUs add sufficient jitter to the reference clock sampling that there is no correct configuration. You generally must use an FPGA or appropriate DSP/microcontroller to a

This has not been the case with configurations optimized for high utilization or random writes for a very long time. The auto-balancing behavior of recent versions approaches something that you can raise the max full parameters on with no a

I believe every person should act according to their own subjective morality and understanding of the social consequences of their behavior. In fact, that is exactly what they will do, regardless of what is written or spoken to them. If t

If the singular fucking purpose of the washing machine was to run apps, I sure as fuck would expect to see people wanting to install apps on their washing machine.

Weird? No. Objectively wrong? Yes. The link from their switch to your equipment should not be made of copper, because copper does not provide electrical isolation between the endpoints and is susceptible to interference. Fiber does provi

Incidentally, an (analog) toaster should have no problem boiling water if turned on and dropped into a bucket. The heating element lifespan would probably be short and it would be tremendously unsafe, but it's just a resistive heater.

I would be interested in seeing the supporting arguments and data for your latter claim. At a glance US gross manufacturing output lags China by about 7%, but per capita US manufacturing output is ~300% that of China. Between the Monroe D
