Bluetooth 5 extends the range and increases the data rate of BLE, but not both at the same time. This will allow you to stream high quality audio over BLE, saving power over regular Bluetooth, but you won't get the range benefit.

I still do. The ability to stream music in my kitchen is the reason I bought a 5GHz router.

This is really a poor marketing job by the Bluetooth SIG. Bluetooth 4.0 added BLE, the low energy mode, but it didn't change anything about the power usage of existing modes. BLE is almost and entirely different protocol, albeit imple

Absolutely, the article presents the problem as trying to minimise the time that an individual wastes in a queue, not the problem of processing all of the people in the shortest time possible. In the airline example, the airline wants passe

I played a lot of games as a pair with friends around that time. I think it was something about liking games that had a story and therefore didn't lend themselves well to taking turns. We even played Quake like this a few times, one

I think you make a valid point, although I was able to acquire a course of Chloroquine to cover me for a couple of months at one week's notice, for <£10, whereas the vaccine would need two months for the three initial doses. So may

I can't say any of this for certain, and I have no qualifications to back it up, but I would assume that any or all of the following may apply: 1) Cost - if a you only visit an area with a risk of malaria for two weeks every year (whic

There is one by Arthur Ganson in the MIT museum[1]. It's part of a great exhibit of fun/quirky machines and there's an interesting video about it on youtube[2]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5q-BH-tvxEg

In the UK (I have no experience of this type of finance anywhere else), interest rates improve as your loan to value percentage decreases. If the house increases in value by the time you come to re-mortgage, you're likely to get a bet

I think I may have seen this a couple of times, but it's certainly not constant for me. It may just be my router. I'm dual booting Ubuntu 15.04 and Windows 8.1 as I support software on both platforms. So I'm suffering from

Also Atmel, although they're either so new to the market or the volume that they ship is so small compared to other manufacturers that they don't appear in any lists that I've seen. http://www.atmel.com/produc

Would it be possible to detect the transformer noise in the antenna cable? The cable often runs on the outside of buildings, especially older ones. I thought that they were looking for the IF (intermediate frequency) being fed back up the

Sure, ASICs are always going to beat FPGAs and CPUs in power consumption for the same task, but there are also applications where the ability to update the system far outweigh the power requirements. Interestingly, SDR is being used for the

I can't speak for OP, but my interest is in signal processing. DSP and FPGAs are a great match and with the boom in software defined radio, having reconfigurable DSP capabilities is extremely useful. For example, if 802.11b devices ha

I haven't had problems scripting the Altera tools. We use make on Linux to build things for the Daisho project[1]. Or were you thinking of something more advanced than that? Having said that, I'm 100% in favour of open tools. I

Warning, I'm about to make a couple of massive generalisations... I would guess that most 40-50 year olds who already have knowledge, contacts and money don't apply to YC, probably because they don't feel that they need it. I

We've never filmed or streamed content from DC4420 before, mainly due to the size, venue, and nature of the event. I think it would be worthwhile asking them to give the presentation again in the future at an event that is set up for f

Aren't the Central, Jubilee and Victoria lines all using ATO already? They carry drivers for doors, emergencies, etc but I thought that the movement of the train was automated.
