Largely same - I wonder if such complexly engineered balls is why bowling has a falloff in popularity as a pro sport. The difference in how good two pro bowlers are is often fractions of a percent. Maybe a step back in technology would make

Agreed. Wanna know what another obsolete object is, a real one, no longer made and with no functional use anymore? An lubricant oil can spout. We stopped selling lubricating oil in cans like at least 35 years ago. I have vague memories from

Yeah, but I left it off, because its clearly an application with no real future, its dying as the networks required for it to work well also die (faxing over VoIP is a special form of hell to support).

The light in your oven is almost certainly incandescent, possibly your fridge too. You can't really use a non-incandescent bulb in high heat applications. There are other applications too, where the resistance of the bulb itself, and h

Many of these are not even close to obsolete: * The Computer Mouse is an essential part of every day life. * Radio Receivers are both common and still in daily use by a huge percentage of the planet. * Electric Lightbulbs still have many sp

I think oversharing is an actual societal issue, people spend lots of energy trying to create an outwardly perfect narrative to share with friends, family and random strangers. It's just so much mental energy to do so, and it harms (in

I dont think I map into either one cleanly, it depends a lot on what it is, and what the context of it is. Nor do I think most people are strictly one or the other either.

Speaking in general terms, not to the specifics of Hans Reiser's crimes - I dont see why it wouldn't allow for redemption, people do stupid things and get blinded easily.

I've had pretty good luck with BT - Apple's stuff largely just works - provided everything you want to use is Apple. I use non-Apple headphones with my work Windows box, and that just works as well - connecting takes longer on Win

Whats most interesting to me, is he's a former DAC person not a former Boeing one, and he saw first hand how outsourcing harmed DAC/MDC - particularly this section which caught my attention: "The correctness of the author&#

It's a cautionary piece about the price of obsession - you can make the greatest niche thing in the world - but without others who share your passion, or passing that passion on, it often comes for naught.

I think that probably works out to a single LTE carrier per spot, which is kinda brilliant, because then you only need to allocate a tiny amount of spectrum for this.

Indeed.

Your experience mirrors my own, while yes some minority of the user population are indeed shitheads, the majority appear to be thoughtful caring people. I can understand why you block HN, because of traffic flow, but not for content.

Why are you here? Like you basically appear to believe this place is a swamp, why are you here participating? To troll? You're not suggesting a solution exactly, just being angry.

You do not need a Hub if you want to use it from inside the house with no internet, it will work by itself.

I went with the Apple HomeKit compatible camp, because it does indeed all work locally across your local LAN without a network connection - its not foolproof, but it mostly just works, and works well at that - and more importantly works whe

I'm in the same boat as you are more or less - just have cash in the bank - beyond that everything I do is based on North American standards - much of it does not directly translate to Europe - if I wanted to remain employable, Canada
