What you say is true. Bunnie acknowledges that he can't guarantee a 100% secure platform, "Our Novena Project is of course still vulnerable to techniques such as silicon poisoning, but at least it pushes openness and disclosure d

Is it so different than bookkeeping burning real resources on bookkeeping? Paper, ink, accounting software, Excel, all use resources.

Interesting. If it's true Bitcoin will be replaced by another algorithm, then Bitcoin does not make much sense to hold. It would then be true that Bitcoin is a tool to facilitate real currency transactions.

Interesting! I was skeptical of the GMAT until I studied and took the test. My personal opinion is GMAT is a very difficult test and studying for the test sharpened my own writing, logic, and reasoning skills. I am very impressed with the

I wouldn't think it'd generate very much money to directly monetize easy score verification other than as an additional data point for advertisers. However, I do believe easy score verification could be part of an overall strategy

The above suggestion is an idea. Understood that today GMAT might not allow such functionality, but the organization has the data internally to send score reports. Correct, not supported today, but feasible with business development.

One alternate mechanism (there could be several) sure to ruffle feathers is to qualify users by their GMAT score (e.g. 700+ only), assuming such information were easily verifiable. Such a 'qualification club' is inline with my own

It's not in my knowledge how to quantify unlimited. Any definition of unlimited should come from the provider, Comcast.

This comment assumes Comcast cannot provide unlimited data and clarity, which I believe could be a better option.

Hey I'm working on the same thing. Right now I only have two rear blinkers hooked up to an arduino and a couple of sensors but I'm slowly building and planning more functionality. It's a bit sad the lack of attention the rear

It's interesting that a core competence of government isn't IT. How much does the government depend on IT to run its day-to-day business? If the answer is 'not much,' I can understand the opinion that work should be out

Do you agree with lpmay's explanation of Friis? Path loss increases as frequency increases. However, if aperture is constant while frequency decreases, which increases path loss, gain increases, which offsets the increase in path loss

You're right we're speaking a bit tangentially. Hadn't heard of the Friis argument that frequency doesn't matter as long as antennas on RX and TX are the same. I'm not sure I understand it yet. Nevertheless, let&#x

It doesn't sound like you're familiar with the Friis equation [1], which shows how carrier frequency is inversely related to transmission distance. The receivers are probably around -90 dBm sensitivity, which would place the syste

Wow that is very much radiated power! I remember range testing a 434MHz product and being hundreds of meters away (line-of-site). The product passed FCC testing. So a watt going into a 6dBi antenna... Flutter's measurements make sense
