You are right. The article only claimed to provide a list of expert suggestions on how to fix the New York subway and it did that. I'm the one who wants it to be more. It strikes a chord because the suggestions offered feel like so m

That's not what I mean. Take for example solution #1: "Redesign stations to get more people on and off trains faster." The text and graphics then goes on to explain some interesting issues with various stations but what solut

“Rafa Nadal and I have an average of 5 French Open titles.” That is a quote I'm going to have to remember. Should come in handy often.

As non-NYC resident the first thing I though was, "Huh, I wonder what's wrong with New York's subways?" But alas they went straight into solutions so I am still left to wonder what problems they are trying to fix and in

So you would be willing to have 30% less battery life everyday to avoid replacing the pack every couple of years? That’s a trade off I personally wouldn’t make.

You're assuming the issue is only changing capacity vs age. Internal impedance increases with age as well. A full battery that can't source its energy in a timely manner might as well be empty.

This post gives us an estimate for what percentage of the iPhones are getting throttled by this issue. I think it's reasonable to use this as a proxy to estimate how many units were at risk of shutting down and it is the minority of u

From a security point of view how is embedding python different from embedding Visual Basic? This is not my area of expertise so I’m genuinely curious.

If I connect to someone’s server and they log it then that’s data that could not exist without me but it could also not exist without them. So it is mine or theirs?

That is a wireframe but Blender can turn a wireframe into a mesh and vice versa as the video title states.

This answer provides designers with no insight on how they can improve products to make them more reparable, even if they intended to try to adhere to your world view. How does one interpret this? No glue allowed at all in any product or s

What is a lock and how does it prevent repair? I think we would both agree that iPhone 7 is DRM laden. However iFixit, who is quoted in the parent article and gives iPhone a repairability score of 7 of 10, seems to think there are some thin

What counts as a repair and how would properitary components be made available for the repair? Under what markup do components need to be made available? An example: If I’m Apple and I’m supply constrained on fancy new FaceID sensors I’m n

And one can likely use that to gauge the public’s demand for repairing.

Transistors have always leaked. The main thing is Ion/Ioff > 1. The higher the ratio the better but with digital one can get by with surprisingly little gain and still get useful circuits.

I've definitely read a ton of code like this. I often do it in simulation as well to help speed up calculations. Basically one is still doing floating point, but manually. i.e. You changed the unit (a.k.a. exponent a.k.a. window) suc

I think they can very likely match the TDP-down (7.5W,800MHz) performance of a Intel CPU from 2015 in a passively cooled iPhone. Now can they match the TDP-up (25W,2.8GHz,actively cooled) performance of this chip? Probably not. That&#x27
