I have not yet heard of any of the ESP8266 modules getting FCC module certification. The page implies it is coming soon, but my understanding is that those that have looked at it before had doubts that it would meet the certification criter

My understanding is that they also legally require French to be used in a variety of contexts (with "language police"). If so, that is significantly different than most other places - and may feel "bizarre". For example,

I struggle to feel bad for these institutional investors. These investors are mostly fund managers who make on the order of 1% of assets under management yearly... Arguably, their jobs are composed of two functions: decide on investment dec

My favorite H.R. Giger story was from when he met the rock band Emerson Lake and Palmer and agreed to do the album art for Brain Salad Surgery. The album name - innuendo for a sex act - inspired an equally sexual album cover. [1] The origin

I think "shilling for the buyside" is a bit strong. Lewis aggressively pursued a compelling and simple narrative in a market that doesnt have an easy story. I get the impression he didnt even recognize that the field he decided to

In NYC even an affordable first date costs around $25-$50. (2-4 cocktails/drinks at a semi-nice place at $10-$18 each) Paying an extra $20 to make that experience less volatile in terms of quality is not that outrageous. Whether this w
