Another tech giant engineer here. All too often random opinionated comments get taken way out of context and misconstrued as something pertaining to the company they work for. Separate from any NDA concerns, no one wants to have some report

You can choose to make your email on your profile public. Take a look at the number of emails exposed vs. the number of phone numbers exposed, there's a reason why it's a small portion, most people don't make that public. Thi

It sounds like that contract was in place to prevent someone from deciding to move somewhere out of the Austin area without telling the lender where they moved to. For moving to a different country that's basically the status quo. At t

That's not going to get it to come out of the material faster, that'll just reduce the amount in the air. You're still stuck waiting for it to permeate out of paint, carpet, adhesives, etc. You could increase ventilation to g

What he's suggesting is an ERV or HRV. You still get air exchange, as much as you want, but now you're passing that air through a heat exchanger and a "humidity exchanger" so you're not wasting all of that energy to

Forget recycled phone numbers, I get this same problem with email for a domain I bought around a year ago. Just the other day I had an email with an attached transcript for someone's recent Medrite visit. The domain I bought was at one

Better yet, ignore Kalman filtering and read up on RTKLIB. You want moving baseline for this and you need some receivers that will give you raw measurements. Basically if you're trying to measure the distance between two GPS receivers

Meth and crack also have an odor after smoking them and dogs already can alert on them even when they aren't smoked. It's already a commonplace lie and there's no repercussions when a search turns up empty so why wouldn'

Look the butterfly macbook keyboards were defective, end of story. It's not a matter of someone being too harsh on them, they were extremely failure prone compared to other keyboards. Sometimes canned air worked, plenty of other times

On the contrary, my first car still had an analog speedometer. It really sucked when it failed because the failure mode was that it turned decidedly non-linear past about 50 mph indicated. The first time I drove it after the failure I hadn&

I'd much rather have nuclear waste safely contained in one spot than distributed into everyone's lungs. The worst case scenario with nuclear waste is that it's distributed around the environment. That's the status quo wi

On the contrary, code quality sucks now because there's not enough talented programmers to go around. So many smart, quick witted kids are getting diverted into other professions. What if the total number of capable programmers doubled

Am I wrong to assume that this will forever be expensive and impractical compared to e.g. Intel's RDRAND implementation where the RNG is built using the same process as the rest of the processor? It seems like you couldn't easily
