I wonder how much of your comments/predictions will be true after this coming winter.

Yeah. If you’ve ever smelled burning electronics, you know that smell. In some ways, that’s a good thing as I knew where to go first. Of course, being the ups instead of the computer was weird to experience at 3 am. Hard to get your head

Basically, yes. I’d have to check the ACAT standard , as I don’t know if it’s baked into the spec or a different agreement. Keep in mind that there are typically thousands of dollars of assets coming over as well, so you only need to sell

It is in the US for brokerages. Many are at $150 to close the account, and they’ll debit your balance if you transfer assets out, thereby creating a negative cash balance at your new brokerage if you didn’t have enough cash to cover it.

I woke up one night to that horrible burning motherboard smell. Ran into the office and noticed it was the UPS. Somewhat freaked out (would have never expected that to go on me in this manner). I unplugged it ran downstairs and put it

This is fantastic! I’m definitely not an assembly guy, but it would be fun if there was a REPL to play with this. Not sure if that would accidentally invert the universe or it’s too low level for a REPL, but conceptually it would be fun to

My gut tells me that if we could, there would be phones catching on fire all over the place. Although a phone has tons of power, and can probably function as a low-end desktop, the lack of a sizeable cooling solution, or even just a plain h

That’s likely to change for the worst for Japan in the next year or two, possibly as soon as this summer. They’re trying to defend their currency and interest rates at the same time. Already the Yen has taken a beating this year. They are

I just watched the video and I’ll second your comment.

Yes. In fact, Jeff Geerling just had a YouTube episode about one (and Raspberry Pi of course). https://youtu.be/-epPf7D8oMk

You want to buy a “monitor”, not a TV. For instance there is this from LG [0] or this from Dell [1]. Just do a search for “large 4K monitor” and you’ll find more. [0] - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-43-ultrafine-4k-uh

I would hazard a guess that the energy is ultimately from the moon circling the earth. Not sure how much physics has to scale to put that off balance, but other than damming up an ocean current, I can’t imagine we’d mess it up in the way y

Interesting stuff. Here’s a couple more pieces to add: The contract is for 20 years. Presumably the money will be spread out fairly evenly (as governments prefer predictable revenue). So for simplicity, let’s say $35 million per year. Seco

I agree. To me, it’s like the old hot rod adage - “the only substitute for cubic inches is more cubic inches” - applies in camera sensors, bus replace cubic inches with “surface area”. Physics is tough to beat, and if the mirrorless camer

Wow - that’s only half the price! What’s the battery life like, and how fast is the wake up time? (I’m a Mac user in case it matters. )
