Tampa is old retired people and the US Navy. You want the other side of the state, near the middle of Brevard county. It's a bunch of engineers working for DoD and NASA contractors.

Some may. I certainly don't agree. Those "brain-drain regions" are the places where kids can afford to raise grandkids. Aside from weather, they are generally nicer places to live.

It sounds like something you might use for the power-on sequencing of a laptop computer. It could manage the battery and wake up the main CPU. Alone, it's the sort of thing you might use for a kid's toy that you hope to make into

There were several companies competing in this space. The main three were CSPI, Mercury Computing (now Mercury Systems), and SKY Computing. Matrox briefly tried to join the party. Even back then, FPGAs and custom ASICs would be part of the

20 years ago, I did embedded computing with systems that would scale to about 360 processors (PowerPC "G4" MPC7410 @ 500 MHz) and about 70 gigabytes of RAM. Yes, it really was embedded. It fit in 9U (15.75 inches) and was rugged e

Ah yes. If you set the serving size low enough, you can sell trans fat while claiming it has 0g of trans fat. Somebody should do this. Make little packets like the ones for butter.

Note how Ubuntu does things correctly, using signatures on the packages. I can copy those to any web site. Doing things that way helps you too. Mirrors, including caches, are easy to set up. Installing via apt will not work for Windows user

If rustup is the normal way to install rust, then that is exactly what I'd want to use. My employer would mirror the needed web sites. For example, my employer mirrors much of github and ubuntu and various Microsoft things. I just foll

Do you know how difficult it is to write a position-independent blob that runs all by itself? Consider something like a boot loader or kernel, starting from a random location in memory. Can it run without needing assembly language? For exam

Wait, what are you checking? I hope it is package signatures, not web server certificates. For security, my normal software development environment is off the internet. I can mirror a web site, but https would be trouble.

I wonder if a pair of cameras under the center of the vehicle would meet the requirement for a rear-view camera. That'd be superior, because seeing right next to the wheels is actually useful. For viewing higher, we have windows and mi

It's roof strength. You're lucky the windows are better than the side windows on passenger planes. For strength, picture a truss made of triangles. That is where we are headed, with little "sideways pseudo teardrop shapes&quo

That one change alone would make a huge difference, yes. It would ruin neighborhoods. I know a person with a SFH in the geographic center of San Francisco. It's RH1 zoning. She would suffer greatly from "zoning good for up to four

Not everybody wants to get rich. Some people, especially the old, just want to stay in a familiar place. If you change that place, it is no longer familiar. Older people often struggle with change. People with memory problems can often get

No, the SFH owners would suffer. I know one. She is geographically in the center of San Francisco. When I visit, I simply park in front of her house. There is plenty of space on the street, free of course. Her street is quiet. It would be r

Falls from far less than that height can kill. If it is safe to be at 10 feet without that equipment, then it is safe to be at 1000 feet without that equipment. IMHO, the cutoff is just what the construction industry was willing to tolerate

There really isn't any non-discretionary spending. The closest we have is payments specified in international treaties, and even that can simply not be paid. All the rest is just a couple congressional votes and a presidential signatur

That would be something to replace with something that can't burn. Stainless steel is the obvious, aluminum and plain steel are nice aside from corrosion, and of course one could spend the money for titanium.

You don't need to reach all the legs, although that is best. Grabbing the body is also an option; the launch crawler/pad thing does this. That first example would probably not be hydraulic. If it were though, and it leaked, that i

You are at a disadvantage, and so you'll need more practice. Perhaps it would help to get a writing tool that doesn't need much force. Funny story: I'm right handed. In high school, I badly injured my right hand. When I first

I did exactly that. I had kids studying for AP Chemistry ages 10 to 16, and I think that is when I sat them all down to learn handwriting. I hadn't planned to teach it, because I thought I never used it, but then one day I wrote a non-

That is a fine recommendation for people in the UK. It will be readable there. Americans aren't usually used to it. Americans normally use D'Nealian. It is similar to the older Palmer Method, which in turn is similar to the older

An artist would make less-readable cursive. To make readable cursive, you need to practice following rules precisely. You need to develop hand coordination, which is probably of general use for things like sewing and surgery and removing sl

Nah. There are multiple options: View the problem of reaching the rocket as similar to locating the head of a CNC or 3D printer. You need XY positioning. Put the gripper on a bridge that spans the ship. The gripper moves along that bridge f

It does seem odd that traffic between nations is apparently not encrypted by agreement of those nations, with nation-pair crypto keys. For example, a link from Vatican City to San Marino should be protected from Italy. A link from Bolivia t

It seems to be so. Assange and his mother both hinted at it. One interview Assange did is particularly notable; he practically said the leaker was Seth Rich and then backed off a bit. It was like he was struggling with his promise to not re

Getting things patched is awful. A reasonably simple thing I'd like is to secure myself against meddling by Subaru. That includes updates I don't agree with and tracking of my vehicle. Disabling the network connection would pretty

Clearly yes, but people don't want to accept the implications. Current policy has very obvious and direct benefit, while the harm that makes us miserable is very indirect and diffuse. The struggle to afford rent in San Francisco or Man

It makes perfect sense for pharmacists, nurses, doctors, and others who are have to work with drugs. It would be awful to have them stealing from patients. It is also a generic test, kind of like a credit check, to avoid general mayhem. Thi
