This is the most baffling part for me too. Why can't they simply use a pre-paid card that they can scan to pay for their lunch. It's a simply problem with an even simpler solution. This reeks of a scummy consulting firm oversellin

Simply out of curiosity, why do you have this sentiment? I've seen it given a lot as the reason why people don't want to buy one yet, but the performance differences are slim compared the current Tiger Lake option; perhaps 10-20%

This trend seems to extend to the UK too. To be honest, I don't mind it in open public spaces likes parks and such. I mostly travel on the London underground though, which is cramped place at the best of times, and a frankly ridiculous

Ah, not sure how I missed that. I will say that the powder is my preferred choice however. I believe the squeezy bottle which he uses has vinegar, so is not comparable to the normal recipe.

I'd also like to add English mustard to that list, most notably the Colmans's brand. I found it odd to not be there but I suppose it's not a thing found commonly abroad? It's ubiquitous in the UK - like French's is

What I find interesting about this is how embarrassingly low the United Kingdom is considering its history as a telecom power house. In my eyes, and maybe I'm reading this data wrong, it really showcases the devastating impact the priv

No doubt, many vegans are passionate to the point of aggression. However, one can understand that response if you see it through a lens of a vegan. I wouldn't expect the murder of a person to be met with calm conversation for the most

This is a point where I would have to disagree. While their early access programs are generally restricted to larger customers, you can apply to join other schemes (called Docs and Docs+ as far as I remember) where they will assign you an a

I'd recommend the Stereolabs camera. It's a very versatile piece of hardware, quite mature in development from what I've been able to tell so far, and has a great SDK. Doesn't have lidar as far as I know but fills the sa

Depends on the use case but yes I'd agree, 50 might be a tad too long. I work in IoT and industrial computing and the specifications can be for 25+ years however, so it's not unheard of.

Intel picked up Altera in 2015, and now AMD picks up Xilinx in 2021. I'm curious to see whether AMD plans to do anything significant with this aquisition, or is it just executives following a path well worn?
