Even bigger problem with 2.4 GHz is that the frequency is oversaturated and most Zigbee channels at least partially overlap with WiFi channels. I had pretty bad interference in my home before I moved my Zigbee and 2.4G wifi channels as far

TurboTax is getting worse and worse every year. One example where it worked well before and became a complicated mess now: for some deductions you need answer a lot of questions just for it to tell you that you are not eligible because of y

Other than price, what's wrong with Model X? It is roomy, has 325 miles range and I found it pretty comfortable...

You can tap on the bubble in the search results to display information about the place and it will have a call button there. Don't remember if it still has that bubble once you start navigating. It is also supposed to give you POI info

Actually, you can. iOS 12 supports "alternate appearances" - you can find it in Face ID settings.

One advice though is to schedule the first discovery flight closer to sunset when the air is usually very calm and there is no turbulence.

As a pilot myself, I loved that feature. Too bad they discontinued it, so there is no good reason for me to fly United anymore :)

For MacBook Pro with USB-C ports (that are also Thunderbolt 3) you should look into Thunderbolt 3 docks instead. They are pricey, but do the job really well. Just look for ones that support 85W charging - not all of them do, some are limite

Not the GP, but I also have similar setup and I use CalDigit TS-3 at home and Kensington SD5200T at work - zero issues. I don't use 4K displays though, just 1080p.

Yes, I'm curious too. They are not in the list of certificated air carriers or commuter services on FAA website, not even in the applicants list.

The flight itself will take around 30-40 minutes depending on the plane and the winds, plus 30 minutes for pre-flight, run-up and parking at destination, plus whatever it takes to get to/from the airport.

Sort of, at least in general aviation. Some of the newer avionics have bluetooth interface. For instance, popular GTN-series nav/comm can accept flight plans from Garmin Pilot software running on iPad. Now, the iPad part is not certifi

What you are describing is called PFD (Primary Flight Display). HSI is just a bottom part of it, basically combined heading indicator + CDI/VDI + (sometimes) moving map. But anyway, unless you are on instrument approach (or at least ha

Many states/counties have a property tax on airplanes. But compared to other costs (insurance, maintenance, fuel) it's a drop in the bucket.

Well, PHI protection (HIPAA) is actually a good thing and doesn't really prevent researchers from accessing data as long as PHI is stripped (de-identified dataset). Now getting that de-identified data is not always easy...

Consumer-grade routers that support IPv6 out of the box (in the official firmware) normally block incoming IPv6 connections from WAN side by default, so it won't really be different from NAT security-wise.

I agree with author that [in most cases] you don't need distributed processing for your algorithms. But sometimes you do, and when you do need it you have to understand that there is no silver bullet. Creating a distributed system is v

The title is a little bit misleading though. Maybe it's just me, but when I read "AI Chatbot" I think about a conversational bot that can chat with you. The bot described in this article is not a chatbot in that regard, it&#x

What's even better, you can use preemptible instances in GCE which are a rough equivalent to Spot instances in Amazon, but have fixed pricing (no bidding nightmare). They can live up to 24 hours, but can be shut down earlier, so your p

To be fair, GCE tops at 208 GB RAM currently, so you won't get your instance type there as well.

They forgot to mention another nice feature of GCE - custom machine types. You can choose number of vCPUs and amount of memory and also the amount of local (ephemeral in AWS speak) storage in 375GB increments. This is a huge advantage. For
