Yeah, cups of flour annoy me to no end. The difference between a cup of packed down flour in the bag vs flour that's been sifted is something like 30% by my rough estimate.

You didnt even mention the experimental/ultralight folks which is pretty much a free for all. Though they cant flyover populated areas.

Thats certainly my modus operandi - Load HN, hold down control, click on 'comments' links for articles I'm interested in.

If "I have a lifetime of experience with this so thats how it should stay" was humanities criteria for accepting new technology we'd still be bashing the neighboring tribes heads in with rocks tied to sticks.

A handful of the quad controllers also support planes. I have multiple RC planes with that functionality - it adds a little complexity but not a ton.

I think you mean angle of descent. Angle of attack is the angle of airflow with respect to the wing.

Really comes down to lifestyle - I love having a home. Want to run 220v for a basement milling machine? Easy. Want to knock out a wall to put in a big spa tub? Done. Want to put a spray booth in the garage to paint wooden kayaks? No probl

I'm reminded of the nuclear flash helmets for pilots.

I've been looking into this as well since the time/risk/insurance issues of diy are kind of putting me off. The Functional Devices RIB (Relay In a Box) devices for ~$10 look pretty slick, only downside is 12v control signal.

I've been considering getting an sdr, I think you've just pushed me over the edge - thanks! The dream however would be per outlet (or circuit) monitoring. Setting up alerts if wife leaves the hair straightener plugged in, fan lef

As someone building up some home automation I'd love to know how you are monitoring and controlling power. Remote power strips? Replacement outlets? Something diy?

If you aren't opposed to using your own enclosure search the term 'cable gland'. I keep a variety on hand and they work well, if a little chunky. Just be mindful of the sensor end of the wire, capillary action via the insul

Consumer drones aren't really aiming for quiet though. My racing drones are very buzzy since the small 3-5in props are fast spinning to have quick reaction time. My heavy lift photography drone with its slow 12in props (aiming for eff

Accelerometers are a great choice of sensor in this application imo, why not use them? GPS would be an alternative, but pricier and probably less reliable. There are of course a variety of ways to measure height above water like ultrasoni

I imagine it's a lot cheaper to build houses when you don't have to worry about pesky things like building code, fire code, gfci outlets, or plumbing.

Hopefully this will encourage someone find an affected device in the wild. Wonder if any of Supermicros non-blade mobos would be affected? The graphic on Bloomberg indicated blade servers but journalists seem to take quite a bit of liberty

Still a valid question, New York gets plenty of snow. I imagine they have to pull them out or the snowplows would quickly do it for them.

Personally, about 1800 miles. I'm sure there are others who might need more. I take a yearly drive to utah (~1400 miles each way, straight through only stopping for fuel). I'll have an ICE vehicle until range is sufficient to get

I can't imagine it would hurt a blender. Aerosil is an extremely fluffy, almost airy, material that has some interesting physical properties on its own. It's dirt cheap to buy (around $6 a gallon - http://www.uscomposit

My first order from Ali (couple weeks ago) asked for a photo id, picture of credit card, and picture of credit card statement. I declined to provide them and the order was cancelled by their system after a week or so.

I heavily use the auction listings. For specialist tools the Business/Industrial category is near impossible to beat. As a seller there aren't enough people interested in esoteric items to offload locally and as a buyer I never
