It's incredibly unfair for the the administration to target international students like this. However Harvard and MIT aren't all about caring about their international students here. They are also thinking heavily about the mone

Bingo.. having used Canon service quite a few times they are just fantastic at that part. The brand wars are mostly an amateur thing.. once you decide on a brand if you're really serious and especially if you're running a business

Pros love Canon cause their service stomps all over everyone else, the equipment is just the cherry on top. They're more like a partner in someone's business than just a retailer. Seriously.. their service is so fantastic & e

That's a very silly anecdote when so many people in the past 2 years had the keyboards on their $2000+ Macbook Pros break within a year. And it's an HP, we all know they are terrible.

Actually reading your document the long spikes at the end of the wingtips are not mentioned as the Pitot tubes.. that document says the pitot tube is mounted on the right wing 1/4 of the distance in from the tip.

It does seem they are.. the obvious reason for having one on both wings would be redundancy, pitot tubes are not that reliable.. You need to check & inspect & cover/uncover them in preflight/postflight cause bugs & dir

Who knows what the regulations are for a Soviet warplane brought into the US but for most planes the owners are not able to just machine new parts unless the plane is under an experimental certification. A lot of home built planes are und

The large ones on the ends of the wings seem way too long to be pitot tubes.

I've been doing online guitar lessons since Covid-19 started and all these algorithms just suck hard for that. Even in a 1:1 call. Two repeated notes and the noise cancellation just immediately shuts you down... we've been using

I went and looked at your work and I don't think you're necessarily selling the need for people to use "Pro" gear very well. I'm not trying to be harsh here cause you're just doing the same thing as so many p

It's very trainable.. huge amounts of art classes deal with composition. Anything you work on in drawing & painting carries over to photography near 100% as well. And there are plenty of famous photographers who have been great mus

I've been struggling with this. I've long been into photography and have a crap ton of gear that I've mostly been bored of. Canon 5D3, 5-6 lenses, 5-6 flashes, umbrellas and studio gear, you name it. The two cameras I get th

Interesting to see some of the comments from people who are so buried in the bubble that they can't see how bad these companies often are. I feel like this insanity started in SV and has grown out to the other tech hubs over the past 1

This is such a great idea for a VR game, minus the time issues and the whole thing with some of the crew members having nothing to do lots of the time. It has no issues with needing to walk around, but still has a bunch of different types o

Cool article. Pretty straightforward but very cool to see the interactive examples. Interestingly I found the simple "clipped" and "clipped/boosted" functions by far the most pleasing. I doubt it's a coincide

The knobs actually don't behave linearly on a tube screamer. Even the "tone" knob (EQ) doesn't behave at all linearly like you might expect out of consumer audio gear. Tube Screamers have an S-curve potentiometer in u

Inverting a binary tree is actually something that weak candidates seem to find a way to cheat on though. Same thing with Fizzbuzz, so it was an artificial example in my post. The best thing for us seems to be relatively simple coding quest
