The Financial Times is really good. It's not just about finance, don't worry. It's the most balanced and informative news source I've ever read. It's a little expensive but it's worth it. Been a subscriber for

No problem. They created new national laws for covid 19 enforcing lockdowns etc and then were photographed repeatedly breaking them, and eventually the prime minister was fined by police. On the international front, the same government nego

I find it a bit tragic that my comment is being downvoted. Maybe the downvoters think I should be relaxed about my government breaking national and international laws?

Yes, it was billed as a hardware attack underwater, but it's the hacking of servers very much on dry land...

I think this is a great opportunity for young people and they should take the chance to enter a field that even for electrical engineers is tough to enter. Chip design and semiconductor engineering is a bit of a black art, kind of like anal

I don't think everyone's designing a chip. They might be putting together chips to create boards, but chip design is something else altogether, right down in the architecture of memory and transistors etc.

I posted this and went out for the day, so I'm a bit late now to comment but here goes. I'm Scottish and I voted no the first time round. My arguement was always "I've more in common with people from Manchester, Liverpoo

There should be no personal updates. Updates should be from individuals but relating to industry, e.g. making an announcement, asking for advice, promoting a job opening, discussing an industry topic. There should be no updates of a persona

Firstly, as you can see from many replies here, this being HN some people think hardware startups are companies that put software on computers and sell the computers (e.g. developing a raspberry pi based tool for something). Let's call

Sounds like you might have a software startup rather than a hardware one.

Can anyone tell me how to force an M1 Mac Mini to produce crisp images on a 27" 1440p (~110dpi) screen? I've tried various things and cannot get it to render anywhere near the clarity of Windows. I'm not going to buy a '

But, why?

by binbag 5y ago
Why is it so difficult to get the right screen for a mac, relative to how easy it is with Windows? Is this a proactive design choice by Apple, or just a lack of care?

Groan - not another clickbait question that sounds legit but is really a trick question. Is the plane allowed to move forwards to take-off velocity? Then it will take off. If If it is not allowed to move relative to the treadmill of course

It is true that those are all inter-related. The premise of his video is that the energy goes across to the bulb at the speed of light without using the circuit. The real answer is there is a very small response at the speed of light becaus

Please no, not again. We just did this. 'Electricity is magnetism' is a gross over-simplification derived from Veritasium's over-simplified and idealised parameter trick question. No EE needs to question their teachings. You

Also! Sorry, but I have to add this one because I find it factors in quite often (unfortunately): "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.&quo

The concept of 'sharpening the saw', which I (rightly or wrongly, but it works for me) take to mean taking time to stop and think alone about where I am with a [usually work-related] project/mission/goal, draw a line und

Exactly. It doesn't sound like depression to me, it sounds like he was in a slump, feeling very low/sad for a while because of external factors.
