They do it maybe for similar reasons some car manufacturers are involved in Formula 1: prestige, pushing their engineering competence, application of research that benefits their products, etc.

If Hong Kong is any indicator of what's coming in China, the scale of that wave will have serious consequences on the country if they continue to insist on enforcing their stringent (and heartless) zero-covid policy. Be ready for even

There is usually a 'viewing' in mortuary chambers where people/close family can visit the deceased a few days before burial. There is no open casket during the ceremony though. That part seems to be fairly specific to North A

So I love Seeedstudio and their innovative and affordable hardware. I bought quite a lot over the past years and always been quite happy for the quality. However, they blame the chip shortage for their own inability to manage their inventor

Speaking of Grammarly, are there any good offline tools of similar scope and competency? I don't really relish the fact that these services have access to potentially very personal information. Even with the best of intentions, there i

I think the crux of the issue is not that Spotify carries Rogan's podcast like they do 1000s others. It's that Spotify is paying mountains of $ to Rogan for exclusivity. Spotify is not a passive party in this, they are actively pr

Whatever tortuous road Grishka and Igor took in the past 40 years, they didn't leave people indifferent. I for one want to thank them for their 80s TV show 'Temps X'. That programme, with a mix of science and science-fiction

Really not the same beasts. The Cortex M4 microcontroller is self-contained with every peripheral it needs (including BT and wireless stack) and its power consumption is very small compared to a SoC. Also, it's not booting Linux at all

Ataraxia, plenitude, serenity, all these are variations on the theme of attaining 'peace'. Whether it's religion (ie Buddhism) or philosophy (ie stoicism), there is this notion that the ultimate goal is to reach this state of

Looks like it's as least as old as the 90s. Found a picture of one sporting a 9943 date code. The one in the article is from 2002. Analog still lists them in production!

I think they mean that if a company in France manages to shuttle back its profits to the US, then it will need to be taxed 15% there as least. International corporations routinely avoid tax in one country by having charging large fees to th

Boric acid is very inert. It tastes like chalk. The Wikipedia page says there are some some/weak evidence that it could affect reproductive systems, but you would need to ingest it for any effect (and a lot of it apparently). It's
