It may not be the optimal point on the supply-demand curve, but if supply is limited, then the price is whatever people are willing to pay.

It's easy to regard ideas themselves as having evolution. Only those ideas that resonate with humans are preserved and passed on. The rest die.

If I understand things correctly, it may drive borrowing costs down by lowering the lender's risk exposure. (If you loan money to someone, and they don't pay you back, with this program there's a tiny chance that OWS will, lowering your ris

Amen. Gnumeric was my open-source spreadsheet of choice for a few years.

I don't think you're missing anything. Dude needs a measurement, and he's on his way to getting it done. The Wheatstone bridge is timeless. In a precision measurement context we use it and related bridges all the time.

Don't forget reduced inventory cost. No need for an auto parts store to a litany of rarely-purchased plastic parts if they can be printed at will. Customization is the early killer app, but a world opens up as the material quality and speed

It's hard to see a consumer downside to subsidized hardware. Don't want to use Amazon/Google's software? It's your phone, you bought it. Run what you like. The Nexus 4 is an excellent play; it's a capable and carrier-independent phone. May

I should've remembered the density difference... According to omniscient Wikipedia, diesel is 83% the density of water, so the 33 feet that water can be lifted via suction becomes ~38'. The Trieste used the buoyancy of (incompressible) gaso

Also, pumps must always be located at the bottom to pull liquid uphill by more than ~30'. Storing large tanks of diesel fuel on the 17th floor (or higher), is a heavy and perhaps dangerous situation. An always-submerged in-tank pump, not un

I'm relatively new here. Why did this thread disappear off the front page? At 72 points in an hour, it ought to be by far the top post. The current leader is 67 points in 5 hours. Are things that get up-modded that fast dropped as off-topic

12-bit ADCs! Woohoo! If they ever reach 16-bits (or beyond!), our lab may buy them weekly. The 10-bit resolution of the Arduino ADC is the biggest single thing that's kept us from switching to them for general-purpose DAQ. The speed with wh

Plot updated to answer your question. There's a big difference between that which is served to curl and to a browser. Thank you!

Should be fixed now. The last point is still ~100k. Running Chromium, if I'm logged in, google.com's HTML saves as 104k. Logged out, it's 94k, as measured by ls -lh.

You are correct, some of them slipped past, and contain archive.org code. It's quick to fix. Thank you.

I definitely used id_ . I saved the source that I used; I'll recheck things.

I'm not sure I had a point (though minimalism is appealing); when putting the numbers together, I just wanted to see what the plot looked like.
