On that note, I was really impressed with how easy it was to end an xmradio trial subscription just recently. I had gone over a few days into their regular monthly service. I was anticipating something unpleasant, but it was very easy to ca

HDF is multidimensional and carries metadata.

That would be a terrible device design regardless of if the approved software is being used on it or not. I suspect it's not nearly that risky.

Badger looks nicely done! Did you end up needing to change much in implementing Badger from what was described in the WiscKey paper?

Chris Gammel is co-host of an electronics podcast called The Amp Hour. The podcast isn't instructional, more for context and discussion, but Chris also offers an online course that takes you through the entire process of PCB design. I&

And is it production estimate, or a production goal? If someone gives you a goal of 1000x the current production, assuming you can request/specify whatever you need to get there, that's very different than if they say, given the e

For diagnosing, I like building up a cumulative distribution function (CDF) plot. If you're collecting data either for percentiles or thresholds you likely have the data already. If you're setting thresholds, it's a useful p

Short answer, it's within the purview assigned to the NTSB. Longer answer: pipelines are a form of bulk material transport and are a non-trivial bit of transportation infrastructure. The NTSB seems like not too bad a place to assign ac

So there's a lot of coverage about the EU parliament process, but where did the drive for this copyright directive come from? There seems to very little coverage on how this directive came about. Whose interests are being represented b

I'd speculate that the simplest root cause might be an system overpressure. Any hookup to a valve that couldn't contain a pressure of some level could be susceptible to leaking gas onto an ignition source which could then start a

I'm sort of a Mulally fan, he I think was fairly critical in how smoothly the 777 development was for Boeing - and was passed up to be CEO of Boeing, and went to Ford as CEO instead. But I wonder that today Ford is in something a probl

Some expertise can be bought, but some of the support is built over time, intrinsically outside the factory into the overall Toyota system. But ironically, thinking one can just buy an expert is to apply the same short-term mentality to the

Telsa really should aspire to Toyota levels of efficiency, but you also have to account for the fact that Toyota has had decades of experience as well as a stable and long-term relationship with their parts suppliers. Stopping the line and

That was my first thought too. But there is this quote: > The software can detect hidden objects using technology that examines the naturally occurring waves produced by a person’s body. The technology does not emit radiation, officials

A company will also pay for and pass on the cost of non-paying customers in terms of repossession or loss of rented units.

I suspect for long term goods that are below some cost, it's just cheaper for people to own them vs renting over the lifetime of the device. A corporation will tend to finance the capital cost of the good if it's renting, then nee

It sounds like a nightmare to me. A fridge service provider might run the hardware longer, but they wouldn't care much about your power bill, nor fridge features - if old phone monopolies, cable boxes and current isp's are any ind

The landfills often tap the fill for methane generated by the contents. I happened to run into a guy the other day who worked at the power generation plant for one of these. The theory is that burning the methane to produce electric, and br

It's very subjective, but I've been comparing the "create a station" from a spotify playlist to Pandora for a while, and just find more music that I both like and have never heard of from Pandora than spotify. Then I gen

by digikata 8y ago
I still feel like Pandora does the best job of finding similar new music to an initial set of tracks, but other than that I like most aspects of spotify better.

For one, prerendered 3D video could go as detailed as the transfer pipe & display would allow. For another, the worst case cost is $x/45, but I would think that might improve as 3D programmers figure out optimizations in terms of m

If you think it's mostly unfamiliarity, then that's a great opportunity to suggest some time spent to document that code (and/or operations thru that code). It helps w/ the understanding, and should be a precursor to fig

Start identifying specific markets/customers and think about how one might move towards packaging/productizing your prototype for those customers. It's not completely clear to me if your prototype is currently FPGA code, or m

Thanks for the reply! May I ask how far you go with respect to reliability/availability? Do you have a live replicated server on stand by or just replicate a log stream elsewhere, something else?
