I think the fake groom was in the context of societal pressure to get married, or for a gay couple to marry opposite sex partners. Having a fake groom fulfills these obligations without actually having to live with the stand-in.

The code. The shields are pretty worthless, but the availability of libraries and example code is excellent. Instead of working out all the fine details of I2C, I can call a well developed function that takes care of all that for me. Instea

Who says the counterfeit is shoddy? Sure, it might be, but the two do not necessarily go hand in hand.

What if you ordered Ralph Lauren from a guy on the corner selling shirts out of his suitcase? The argument isn't about counterfeits, the argument is about Amazon's slide from "retail store" to "group of guys on the

It looks like the Samsung rig is doing about 2600Kh/second at about 4W per phone. This is a hash rate of 1538.46 J/GH. In comparison, the Antminer S9 will do 13Th/sec for about 1275W. This gives a hash rate of 0.098 J/GH

The article is poorly done. That being said, I don't disagree with the premise. As I understand it, advertising is seen in terms of acquisition cost (and ROI more broadly). If ROI is a positive, the campaign is a success. However, this

You can't have selectively applied due process. Due process must be applied to all without qualification for it to have any semblance of balance and impartiality. Muckraking is fine (there's no law that says everyone should be nic

What kind of battery lifetime does Tesla expect, and how much charge capacity is actually left after 300k miles?

Do you have a source for the Tesla battery degradation? How many cycles over 8 years?

I'd argue eating a battery would end in a similar fashion. this is a link https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/seven-substanc... to a Health and Human Services 14th Report on Carcinogens, classifying

Liquid cancer? C'mon, that's a bit extreme. Getting down to the point, can you imagine the political fallout from crushing the value of a gas car? It's a truck sized political landmine, and no party is willing to touch that t

KiCAD is still missing basic features like via stiching. It's coming, but I can't wait for it to arrive. Also, where is he getting the FE310?

You want fixable and well designed, long software updates, and a good price? Buy an (old) iPhone. I've got a 5S -- still perfectly fast for what I use it for (email, youtube, brokerage account, general internet, some small games), and

What's the lifetime of the plant? The cost to build the plant must be amortized over it's lifetime, plus the operating expenses required to operate.

LiS will be even more popular with grid utilities. Super high specific energy, but low overall discharge weight + low cost of Sulfur means a popular, stationary battery perfect for grid tie in. Ironically, it's even less dense than li-

I wasn't trying to suggest breaking out the sputtering chamber, but anyone with a decent background in physics and basic algebra could learn and build something similar. My only argument for doing so is that everything is now extendabl

Li-ion isn't even that great a choice, self discharge is pretty high. That will "use" more current than your microcontroller!

You're exactly right. You can get a 10cm by 10cm 2 layer board with 6mil tolerances for $12 shipped, from china. Arrow will ship parts overnight with a minimum order size of $20. Aliexpress/eBay have made discrete semiconductors a

This isn't that crazy -- you can get something as available and low cost as an ESP8266 ($1.72 in singles) down to ~.01mA to ~.005mA if you implement the hardware watchdog timer, use sleep mode, remove extra LEDs, etc and keep the exter

Instead of pointing out the die layout, how about a rigorous test? Let's see clock accuracy, power consumption, etc vs the original TI part.

When you buy from a US seller, you're buying time. A typical ePacket is about 7 to 14 days from shipment, while first class mail is generally about 3 days from shipment. China Post is worse, anywhere from 30 to 60 days is common. Yanwe

Even with mass production, the chemistry does not change. Limited Co supplies and a decreasing, but still present need for rare earths will only prop up prices. Add to that new and exotic electrolytes and improved anode coatings, and it&#x2

Maybe I missed it, but I see no actual power output, just multiples of some standard. IS this thing putting out 5mW or 1W?
