The 5x markup is basically in line with the increase in material cost and increase in risk of importing. The melt blown fabric prices have been increasing dramatically since January when China ramped up production.

I had a colleague that was in his late 30's or early 40's at a large tech firm that applied to medical school and became a doctor. It was a long and hard road for sure. I ran into him years later in a Trader Joes in San Francisco

That is correct, but again, the reality is that the whole supply chain comes from China and fake 3M masks also exist. Also, no one is telling the hospitals not to ask for samples and test the goods themselves. The problem is that the hospit

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about N95 style masks. N95/KN95 are made from melt-blown nanofiber fabric which 20x'd in price due to sudden demand and constrained supply, through early March from its price 6 months prio

I think he's trying to offer his supply channel to hospitals that are talking about being desperate for supplies. People keep talking about donations, but the reality is that this is a crisis of supplies, not a crisis of money. My expe

It's weird this article talks like this is new information. I guess it's not probably not widely known, but this stuff was discussed in James Bamford's Puzzle Palace, published in the early 1980's (nearly 35 years ago).

Being much older now, it's very apparent to me that whatever aptitudes I had as a younger student were driven by whatever good teachers I was fortunate to have at the time. In my case I had the good fortune of wonderful math teachers.

Does Grafana update fast enough for visualizing data from sensors on robots? (in particular for tracking positional information or response information if tuning/monitoring PIDs etc.)?

I vaguely remember seeing videos shot from camera phones without the background music you find on youtube, and it wasn't silent. The high pitched sounds of the drone swarm was very clearly audible.
