Many people on this thread are complaining about the poor performance of this passively powered screen. PSA if you care about resolution and speed, and don't mind powering it; pick up the ED060KC1 panel. 300ppi 6" panel for around

Most signs are completely insecure already. This exact tech, with no security, is already used for item/price displays in some stores. If you're worried about someone walking up and reprogramming your nfc powered eink sign, I&#x27

Yes is the answer, but it would be much slower. Assuming 1w for 6 seconds (4s refresh + 2s transfer), it would take about 42 hours for a lossless storage + regulator circuit. 40uw is an incredibly small amount of power.

You can simulate grayscale with dithering, similar to drawing with a pen or pencil. If you really need grayscale or color you can buy eink displays that support it, even ones up to 300ppi. I don't know if 1w would be enough to power th

That's insane, I always assumed it was for much lower household incomes. I consider 100k to be upper middle class in the US.

How could a 2-digit percentage die when the fatality rate so far is substantially lower (~3% last I saw)?

There may be no underlying financial issue, but percentage wise we're going down much faster. September to Oct 2008 was a 9.5% drop (steepest month drop). Past 30 days was a 20.5% drop. Tracking s&p 500.

It's less about insolvency and more about having a ton of savings. The entire business model is driven by customers, and they go from netting $2k/day to losing on salaries and rent. How long do you think a successful bar could sur

If you make a bunch of assumptions about the distribution, you don't need a large sample size to make decent estimations about the population. Of course, the only way that works is with random or stratified random sampling. With report

There are far more than that today, the number you're quoting is the last cdc report (published mid day Friday). Current number is likely around 3000. NYT last published ~2700 from aggregating state reports, and their per state numbers

Last official update from cdc was 1629 [0]. NYT seems to be aggregating data from state reports, and even that is out of date. NYT reports 607 in WA, but the state itself reports 642 [1] (cdc reported 457 in WA on Friday). [0] https:/

This is really cool, but estimating 280HP at 2L when naturally aspirated has already been beaten. The party trick here is definitely the pneumatic valve control being able to switch combustion cycles on the fly. If you just want max power p

What they mean to say is: when I was working with a language that enforced pure functions, I had to actually consider purity. It's rare to see a way to enforce purity in procedural languages, whereas most fp langs support it.

Even a "weak" cigar will mess you up if you don't smoke. If you don't have nicotine tolerance, smoking a cigar is akin to getting drunk. Stumbling around and slurring words.

Most utilities don't have any way to store large amounts of energy, and it's non trivial to start up most energy generation. To me the grid looks like something between wizardry and a house of cards.

Lead? Telecom in the US is an oligopoly, with most of the major spending backed by government grants. Many areas are still supported by rotting copper and old 2g/3g towers because there's no incentive for providers to upgrade them

To make this analogy work, the government is asking everyone to install new front door locks. They have a master key. They will always have a master key. They can stop by whenever they please, if they suspect a crime. If you run a red light
