   I used to always be pro-consumer in cases where the manufacturer does something like that to clones (Salae and FTDI cases) After slowly getting into the manufacturing game myself and after USPS auctioned some of my cute early engineering sa

   True, it's good to see the scope while poking around. Also scopes can do higher voltages than salaes' analyzers. But to their defense, the newer analog + digital analysers are really decent for $200. Annnd they doubled their price

   I recommend the TS100 (<$100 budget) and JBC ($300-$500 budget). After getting a decent soldering iron I never looked back. Yes its expensive, but so are the parts you destroy with the crappy $30 irons, or the frustration of soldering bi

   I think this is up to interpretation. Optimizing for output could mean "improving the system", polishing your soft skills, rather than spending that 20% learning how to code in assembly. On the other hand maybe that assembly knowl

   Not a hacker but definitely came a long way. Boils down to one thing for me: - Raw motivation. Be like a pig in the mud, "really" enjoy doing it. While everyone else considers it work. If strong motivation is there then logistical

   This is an extremely broad question. It really depends what your company is doing and its size. A couple of things that I do when I have interns: Assess/observe the person. As a mentor you need to understand what his/her weaknesse

    We share most of the things just because there is 100% trust and it makes things easier. For the specific case of the email we dont access eachothers email, but if there was a need, it would be perfectly fine. I can't say this is the r

    Because rent prices are going up in huaqiang bei, and the average seller selling passives or other electronic parts cant sell enough to pay the rent. Already there are more and more malls and fashion shops slowly appearing in the area, and

    We are outside the US, but incorporated in Delaware, without even going to the US. We did that to keep our options open in case of raising, but we are slowly becoming more and more against raising. Anyways, it was cheap enough (~$700) and n

    As a foreigner living in SZ for the past few years, and literally 3 minutes away from the markets, I have to say, well done Scotty for capturing the mess and awesomeness of Huaqiang Bei. Shame that the markets won't stay like this for

    My SF02 server went down 4 hours ago too. Also, I used to have my primary load balancer on SFO2 and removed it a while ago because of another network failure, interesting to see SFO2 failing again within a few months.

    I used to work on a product that was integrating with Honeywell security grade 2-3 panels. These are panels that are used for businesses and airports (grade 4 is the highest). Those panels were using an encoding scheme (s-box at best) to re

    TL;DR No it doesn't matter, 99.9% of the time. Its all about execution. Most consumers will change to a more capable product if it's placed in front of them, it solves their problems better and the cost of switching is low. We all

    Why doesn't fb just blur the content that users find disturbing like "Viewer discretion.., flagged by our users". Then you can click to view or adjust the sensitivity in your account settings.

    Sorry for the vagueness. SF/NYC is indeed the extreme, from what i've seen, a mid-experienced programmer (Backend , embedded C), 3-4 years in industry, might get something like 150K yuan on average, and up to 250K yuan if you are

    Yes you are right! I've seen many small companies here use the "M" or even the non-business "F" (catch-all) visa and that visa was issued with the full knowledge of the locals here. No idea about other cities, SZ is

    Check out our startup Pycno. We do a smart sensor for farmers, since getting the data out of the farm is the first problem. On the software side we have a lot of analytics and predictions that the farmer can benefit from. We are in HAX, her
