While I'm not the OP, I can provide the links to the parts I used for my electric skateboard. The ESC I used is one of those mentioned in the post. Batteries (x2): https://hobbyking.com/en_us/zippy-flightmax-8000ma

Regular longboards go much faster than an electric one like those described here. I recently built an electric skateboard using one of the ESCs in this post and on flat ground it can't go much over 20mph. It goes far faster than that o

The ESCs listed in the posted page actually have brakes. I have one of the ESCs on my board and the brakes are strong enough that they'll toss you off the board if you don't take some time to learn them.

I usually watch the video twice, first with no captions and second with them on. I also like trying to figure out what he's doing in each part, but he uses the captions to explain a lot of interesting things that I didn't catch&#x

That senator, Orrin Hatch (R-UT), is 84 years old. He may be genuinely unaware of how sites like Facebook make money, though his expression after Zuckerberg answered seemed like he was entirely aware of how basic the question/answer wa

In terms of price I still haven't found anything better than CloudFlare. If performance is the goal all the testing I've done for work shows Akamai as the leader, though not by a lot. Fastly is making strides to compete with both,

DACA is the executive policy while the DREAM Act is the bill that Congress has yet to handle. Congress hasn't dealt with it because the Republican party was using it as a bargaining chip in the budget negotiations -- their voters see o

Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly, but with Riot.im you can just sign in, create a room, and then invite people to that room. It gets a bit more complex if you want to run your own server, but that's not something you can

StatusGator is neat, thanks for linking that. Do you have graphs anywhere to track the number of outages/problems over time? It would be nice to see if there's been an uptick in problems generally, across certain services, etc.

I would think you'd catch more errors since you're reading through your own code in it's entirety, as well. Mistakes like mis-assigned variables are easy to make while you're actively thinking about your code but they st

I meant I don't get why he would want to do that. Why insist that all of his customers' keys be revoked? Why intentionally compromise the keys to make that happen? After reading more about it, though, I think it's less that i

You don't need the private keys for revocation, and you're right that compromise of the private key is one of the best reasons to revoke a cert. I can't figure out why the Trustico CEO emailed the private keys to DigiCert. It

It could, but most analyses I've read don't portray it as likely. The tariffs start at 30% but fade to 15% over the next 4 years, after which they are set to expire. It doesn't seem like anyone would be able to set up and lau

I share your distrust, which is one of the reasons I'm not a big fan of Discord. I don't know where Riot's revenue will come from, but Matrix [1] (and Riot by extension [2]) support end-to-end encryption. As others have said
