$1/hr at 5 hours per day is ~$150/month. I have no idea what you can afford but that’s basically the price of cable these days.

Although this program is initially lunching in the US, according to the statement, it is quickly expanding to other countries so I suspect this is really about making repairs to existing units outside the US. Many places have huge iPhone i

I think the article I linked to didn’t require the transformer. Only that there be transfer with the switch on which implies the series connection. :) Wikipedia certainly does though and honestly, especially in power conversions, there’s no

Time to video start is a bandwidth thing. Latency is the time it takes a packet to do a round trip. Typical 4G latency in the US is about 50mS and 5G is not yet faster because it’s still heavily reliant on the 4G infrastructure. It is ex

Nice article thanks for sharing it. What definition are you using for forward converter? The definition I always use, which I thought I got from Erickson’s Fundamentals of Power Electrons, is any topology where the inductance is charged i

I was shocked to see the title because I thought forward converters were invented in the 70s but it turns out they were invented in the 50s with some early examples in the 20s, if one gets loose enough with the definition of “converter”. h

Depends what you’re optimizing for. If you want improved bandwidth and latency it’s definitely not a step back. If you want larger cell sizes it is. The good news is they are not exclusive. One can have 5/4/3 G all coexist, as

As chipsets improve it also means the same download should require less power from the device’s battery, if you believe the race the idle argument, which has always held in the past.

Some are saying ‘no’. I just hope the courts don’t overrule them. Personally I’m ok with also allowing some to say ‘yes’. 5G’s short range nature should allow this just fine. In low population density spots the economics of 5G probably

Yes. It’s shorter range too. https://electronics.howstuffworks.com/5g3.htm

Mid-career FAANG employee, I guess it might be ~$100/hr for a one time code review. (Incidentally, About the same rate as getting a chess GM to review your game [1]) Someone might do that if the project wasn’t too large. (Although th

If that’s the case then the restrictions should’ve been given in the problem statement and the interviewer should’ve been able to answer why the candidate’s answer was rejected.

So if Apple rephrased this message to state, “unable to verify the health of this battery,” but still had the exact same system response, you would be happy?

> The phone knows that the battery is a genuine Apple component, because the battery cryptographically identifies as one. But that’s not the error. The error is the health is unknown. To be a devil’s advocate: How do you know the health

Just google hazardous waste disposal and give it your location. My experience is in the US, and here many counties have something like this: https://www.sccgov.org/sites/rwr/hhw/Pages/What-is-Household..

Given the published corporate policy on leaking I think it’s safe to conclude they would be fired, and most likely prosecuted when possible. “The Cupertino, California-based company said in a lengthy memo posted to its internal blog that it

I think the probability is very low. Apple pays developers very well, and you're asking them to risk all future salary and their freedom. That’s going to cost a lot. Much more than $1M, I would think.

There is no question on the legality of accepting money from Apple. Accepting money from Zerodium comes with some risk for some people. https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/502/is-it-legal-to-s...

I don’t think there has to be something else. They had $2.18 per share in profit this quarter. Presumably some of that could be used to up the dividend if they really wanted.

It was probably just a question testing your ability to estimate. Of the “how many manholes are in Seattle” ilk.

If you're trying to run a non-conformat application that you are unable or unwilling to modify, then yes. It is a good thing.

For that matter, why emulate a mechanical keyboard at all? If we unlearn the whole ”static” key concepts maybe there is even more to gain. Probably too late for me though. ;)
