I agree here. I think a big part of the problem, even in big companies, is that those roles blur too much. In particular, it is frequently the case where a product lead says something like “we need a way to...” and leaves the implementation

Does K9 not do this? I am certain it works with STARTTLS, it’s what I’m currently using. Do you mean just straight TLS connection at the start of session?

Let me try with just the analogy of a hose and your thumb. Water is flowing out of the hose at some rate. If you put your thumb over the end of the hose, you can create a stream of water (of less volume) that shoots out a farther distance

I'll try. Some have done a decent job here already. Watts = volts * current (amps). It's hard to compare words like "force" and "quantity" for volts and amps, but here's maybe a practical definition. Hi

I agree with most of the comments here. The article dies little if anything to help K6 educators (or students) understand electricity. I think K6 should teach something good along the lines of safety/fun, and 6-12 something along the l

Gotta +1 that. Whenever I'm looking for a howto, I pray that there's a DO one already done. The quality (and brevity) is usually the best.

People forget that we (the US) actually had year-round DST once - in 1974. But a couple of kids got hit by buses in the morning, and there went that experiment: https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/30/the-year-

I don't know what you mean by "pretend we didn't". We don't pretend anything - we change the clocks and observe that change.

What's the difference between a SPAC and what used to be called a "reverse merger"? I.e., when a smaller (but publicly traded) company, merges with a larger private company. These used to be pretty common scammy ways to gener

I should have said gravity combined with low speed. Or, I suppose more simply, "weather".

I believe gravity is what happened, in the particular case of Loon. I never understood it. It is expensive to keep things fighting gravity. The only way to avoid that is to either a) not put them up above the earth, or b) put them high enou

Fun XOR trick: using it to move a cursor across the screen without having to keep a buffer of the contents under the cursor (and putting them back). It didn't always look great, but if you were moving a full-screen crosshair around, it

And glove box release. Of course, there are buttons on the steering wheel and the stalks. Edit: Model S, I don't know about others.

Your reference does not actually state anything about the average life of cars, just that reporting mileage is required for cars up to 20 years old. 20 x 13500 is 270k. I don't think that's average. https://www.fhwa.dot

It's a fairly crappy Hynix part. There are tons of better eMMC parts out there; this particular chip is known for not-great cycle life.

I bought my Tesla with 335k of its 340k miles on it. A bit of an experiment. Not one feature was broken except one USB port, which I was able fix myself. Headlights were replaced once before I bought it (HID, not LED) and the motor was repl

I bought my Tesla used. They still make the battery. Longer term, I don't think that the economics of ICE cars will beat battery cars any more than the economics of horses beat cars. It is no more difficult to continue to make batterie

They aren't my miles but for ~5k; I bought it used. It was a "perq car" for a wine tour company.

See above. My 2014 has 345k on it, original battery, and still gets 210mi per charge. It is by no means the highest-mileage Tesla on the road.

My 2014 Tesla has 345k miles on it. The battery still gets 210 miles. Everything still works - but the eMMC chip is failing.

They’re replacing the chip (actually the daughterboard that hold the chip) with a much larger chip (32GB vs 8GB) and allocating half the chip for wear leveling. This is the same fix a southern Cal company has been performing for a few years

I should test OpenWRT with my new multi-AP test setup. Many repeaters and pure (bridging) APs have an isolation problem for clients that switch between them. TP-Link, Netgear, and a few others suffer this problem. What happens is that when

Agree 100% on both of these, and #2 is seldom listed as a big issue. Had IMAP addressed search in a better way, I think it would have made a huge difference. Of course, it's not simple to set up a mail server that stays clean of spam R

What is the practical difference between exFAT and FAT32 when you can format FAT32 up to many GB? Is it just that they are different formats, and exFAT has taken over, in terms of pre-formatted USB media?

Seems wider. Or maybe lots of Amazon services themselves (i.e., Amazon Music Unlimited and Alexa) run out of east-1.
